The problem seams to be that isolated institutions does not support
usercanchooseviewthemes. The code is in /view/view.php


        if (is_isolated()) {
            // We don't really want people picking a theme from another institution
            // if they can't see that institution
            return false;
        }


I do not understand why it would be a problem to choose a theme. I think themes does not belong to an individual institution and should be selectable by a user. But maybe I am missing something.

I am thinking about a config (just for example) like 
"users can choose view themes in isolated institutions"


        if (is_isolated() && !get_config('userscanchooseviewthemesinisolatedinstitutions')) {
            // We don't really want people picking a theme from another institution
            // if they can't see that institution
            return false;
        }

Such a config would give the option to configure mahara to allow or not
allow themes in an isolated institution setting.
