<h3>Outset</h3>
<p>In panels_everywhere_page_build() if you just have the variable 'panels_everywhere_site_template_enabled' set to TRUE (but you don't have 'panels_everywhere_site_template_per_theme' set to TRUE) you eventually reach this code path (see <a href="http://drupalcode.org/project/panels_everywhere.git/blob/HEAD:/panels_everywhere.module#l184">here</a>):</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br></span><span style="color: #007700">if (!</span><span style="color: #0000BB">variable_get</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'panels_everywhere_site_template_enabled_admin'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #0000BB">FALSE</span><span style="color: #007700">)) {<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">variable_get</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'admin_theme'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'0'</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br> if (</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">&& </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">== </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$theme</span><span style="color: #007700">) {<br> return </span><span style="color: #0000BB">FALSE</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br> }<br>}<br><br>return </span><span style="color: #0000BB">TRUE</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>(Note that this is in panels_everywhere_should_override() which is called from panels_everywhere_page_build(). TRUE then means that the override will be applied and FALSE means in won't.)<br>
I'm assuming here that 'panels_everywhere_site_template_enabled_admin' is not set to TRUE.<br>
If one sets the 'Admin theme' setting to 'Default theme' in the UI, the 'admin_theme' variable gets set to '0' and, accordingly, the <code>if ($admin_theme)</code> part returns FALSE (because <code>(bool) '0' === FALSE</code>). Therefore the entire code block above returns TRUE.</p>
<h3>Problem</h3>
<p>If one sets the 'Admin theme' to the <em>actual</em> default theme, then the 'admin_theme' variable gets set to the theme name, e.g. 'bartik'. In that case the entire code above returns FALSE (because <code>(bool) 'bartik' === TRUE) and, thus, the site template is not applied.</code></p>
<p>Arguably, this is a misconfiguration, but since it is pretty hard to debug I would suggest to add an additional check so that the if () in the code block above becomes</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br> </span><span style="color: #007700">if (</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">&& </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">== </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$theme </span><span style="color: #007700">&& </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$admin_theme </span><span style="color: #007700">!= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">variable_get</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'theme_default'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'bartik'</span><span style="color: #007700">)) {<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>I have not marked this as a bug, though, because it is sovable very simply by simply setting the 'Admin theme' to 'Default theme' in the UI. (You have to realize that that is the problem, however...)</p>
<p>I will provide a patch in #1.</p>
