To change theme for login users,

if(Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->isLoggedIn()):
Mage::getDesign()->setPackageName(‘package_name’)->setTheme(‘themename’);
endif;

To change the theme for logged-in users in Magento, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new theme: First, create a new theme or customize an existing one to serve as the theme for logged-in users. You can do this by creating a new theme directory in the app/design/frontend directory or duplicating an existing theme directory.
  2. Configure theme inheritance: In your theme’s theme.xml file, define the parent theme that your new theme will inherit from. You can set your custom theme to inherit from the default Magento theme or any other theme you prefer.
  3. Create a layout file: Create a layout file for your custom theme to specify the layout changes for logged-in users. You can do this by creating a new default.xml file in your theme’s Magento_Theme/layout directory.
  4. Apply theme for logged-in users: In the layout file created in the previous step, add the necessary XML directives to apply your custom theme for logged-in users. You can use Magento’s layout directives to target specific user states, such as logged-in users.
  5. Flush cache: After making these changes, flush the Magento cache to ensure that your new theme configurations are applied.
  6. Test: Finally, test the changes by logging in as a user to ensure that the correct theme is displayed.

Here’s a brief example of how you might configure your theme for logged-in users in the default.xml layout file:

xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="logo">
<!-- You can add your customization here for logged-in users -->
</referenceBlock>
<referenceContainer name="header.container">
<!-- You can add your customization here for logged-in users -->
</referenceContainer>
<!-- Add more references and customizations as needed -->
</body>
</page>

Ensure to replace name="logo" and name="header.container" with the specific blocks or containers you want to customize for logged-in users. Similarly, you can add more references and customizations based on your requirements.

By following these steps, you should be able to change the theme for logged-in users in Magento effectively.
