How to activate a particular theme based on session

[Saurabh Jain]

I want to have a very light theme .. for the purpose of calling it as a webview in mobile app 

How to identify user is accessing from mobile app and not from mobile browsers 

based on that we will like to have a light theme.... If user sign in from desktop he should see the default theme

You shouldn't need to do that. Just alter any CSS in the _responsive.css files. They get loaded and used when the display port is smaller which is typically a mobile device. We don't really recommend sniffing out mobile browsers any more.

can you explain a little bit more...

how to differentiate from mobile app and mobile phone browser say google chrome

Personally, I wouldn't try and look for specific devices.

CSS already has a way to change how things look based on the device width. So for example:

 

body {
  background: black;
}
@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
    background: red;
}

This will show a black background for iPads and computers, but a red background for a mobile phone.

This will not solve purpose.... reason is 

I have a same mobile phone  and I use it to open the community  in two ways

1  By say browser chrome installed on mobile

2 my android mobile app
