I read the instructions about it in https://github.com/dvz/mybb-dvzThemeOptions

but can't get how to do it ?

i just want to know how to switch an another theme by just a click ? (not by redirecting)

What did you try? I think the plugin doesn't add any user-side interaction tool or mechanism, leaving that up to the designer.

I think you will need to add your own JavaScript code to toggle or update settings from the client side, should be clear from reading the below point (specifically the setOptionCase() method):
https://github.com/dvz/mybb-dvzThemeOpti...lient-side

Then you can read the values (initial values, or these updated from the client side) either assigning them to a JavaScript variable or by directly using the plugin variable ({$themeOptionCases}).

Since MyBB doesn't uses template conditionals as of now I suppose passing the values to a JavaScript variable and reading from there is the primary aim of the plugin.

I myself don't use this plugin (as of now) but I think I might be on the right route so I hope my reply is of some use to you.
Thr problem is i am not familiar with JavaScript , don't know how to use it , yeah it's totally shame for me but it might be helpful if you can help me with it .

there are 3 main themes in my forum....

simple i have allowed users to use 2nd and 3rd theme in my forum.

i just want a theme switch option by which if a user now using 2nd theme and if he wanted to use 3rd theme then he will click that switch button and the theme will change in a eye blink... there will be no redirecting.
MyBB's inbuilt theme selector (General Configuration → Show Theme Selector in Footer) can do that without a redirect (regardless of the Friendly Redirection Pages setting).
