XF 1.5 Can I allow one user to use a style not available to everyone else?

[jr777]

I have one user who's on 56k because he lives out in the boondocks, and he can use the site if the default xenforo style is selected, but his connection will time out before it can load pages using the pixelexit style I've set for the site. So I've elected to turn on the default XF style for him.

Thing is, I don't want anyone else to be able to use it, as it will cause me all kinds of hassle if I've got a bunch of people running around with it. So is there any way I can allow him and only him to use that style?

I figured there's a way to do it because even though the other styles are turned off, I can actually still see and use them since I'm the admin, so I figured there's a permission for it somewhere, but I can't find it.

That's not possible.

This free add-on does exactly that. You can give single users or user groups the permission.

It only goes up to version 1.3 though. Will it work with 1.5?

You should update the Resource description. It works with XF 1.5

Yep, works for me. One minor thing, you can't rename your styles or change the description even, or they just kind of vanish altogether.

Not with my installation. Must be some different issue with your installation.
