Setting a Magento Store Design Programatically in Installer using PHP

I needed to set up a design change for a new store which I was programatically creating. One aspect which I was still doing manually was the design change. Lots of tutorials on the web suggest how to accomplish this in the Admin, but this wasn’t what I was after.

I’ve done this by updating the store’s config as shown below. Hope it helps someone out there too

$config = new Mage_Core_Model_Config();
$config->saveConfig('design/theme/template', <store name>, 'websites', storeId);
$config->saveConfig('design/theme/layout', <store name>, 'websites', storeId);
$config->saveConfig('design/theme/skin', <store name>, 'websites', storeId);
