So it seems to be the Perl Blue Theme. Althoug something seems to be working incorrectly. After selecting a new theme and submitting, I still see the old theme. After submitting (the same user settings page) for a second time, it works.

That's normal behavior for the settings page, unfornatly -- it doesn't actually do the settings changes until it renders the bits that change the settings, which is /after/ it's sent out the <head> of the page. Similar effects can be seen all over, including elsewhere on that same page, and on the nodelet settings page. Similar, but not quite the same, is the behavior of the approval nodelet. There is a mechanisim that could be used to fix these cases, but it's in general not worth the effort. Warning: Unless otherwise stated, code is untested. Do not use without understanding.
