Dear Themler,

I would like to suggest an improvement for the desktop client of Themler.
Currently, it re-uses the same Drupal instance for each theme. So if I have 5 themes then all of the regions of all of the themes get exported int each and every theme, unless I disable all the themes except the one I'm working on. And also all the content I add for testing themes and their blocks start getting in the way when working on multiple themes.

It would be much easier if a new drupal site is provisioned for each theme. Because now I have to constantly disable all the themes and their preview variants and I still am left will a large amount of blocks and nodes that are all getting seriously in the way. When you've created more than 3 themes with Themler this becomes a serious and time consuming usability issue.

Maybe an approach like the Acquia Desktop takes would be worth looking at.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
