Comment:

 From a quick review the current issue we need to resolve is calling
 get_themes() when displaying on the front end.

 That is going to scan the theme folder for every page load which is not a
 scalable solution.

 I guess we need to cache more info in the database so the front end stuff
 can be all options based.

 We should only be calling get_themes() when we want to display the list of
 themes.
