Hi

I belive you can achive that using a depency injection and setViewsDir() according to your themes, if i understand the documentation correctly (https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/views.html).

Something like:

  $di->set('view', function() {

     //read your "theme" value before, assume that $heme_name variable contains your theme's directory name AKA theme name.
      $view->setViewsDir("../app/views/" . $theme_name);
  });

I have not tried this but i belive it should work fine :)
