and

$ drush vset theme_default bartik

will change your theme to Bartik.

To know current theme on site move inside project root directory and then

drush status theme

The above command will tell you the current theme set as default for site and admin both

Now change the site default theme using the below command (use theme name of your choice)

drush vset theme_default garland

The above command will make garland as default site theme

Now change admin default theme using the below command (use theme name of your choice)

drush vset admin_theme garland

The above command will make garland as default admin theme

You can use:

- **drush vset theme_default THEMENAME**
- **drush vset admin_theme THEMENAME**

For example:

drush vset theme_default bluemarine
drush vset admin_theme shiny


These will set the site's default and admin themes, respectively.

Of course, they must both be enabled, preferably beforehand.

Check that things are set up the way you want using:

- **drush status** -- lists the current default and admin themes

- In Drupal 6 - **drush pml | fgrep -e themes** -- to check the status of each theme
(Enabled, Disabled, etc.)

- In Drupal 7 - **drush pml | fgrep -e Theme**

Settings for Drush

`drush status` -- lists the current default and admin themes

In Drupal 7 - `drush pml | fgrep -e Theme`

### Drupal / Drush 8

The `variables` table has been replaced by the `config` table in Drupal 8, so the drush command `vset` will no longer work. For Drupal8/Drush8 use the following to set the default theme:

drush config-set system.theme default THEME_NAME

and the following to set the admin theme:

drush config-set system.theme admin THEME_NAME
