Setting it turns off automatic loading of the conventional `themes\/` directory, so list those files too if you want both.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Accepts either a string or an array of strings.\n- Opt-in per plugin; plugins that omit `themes` keep the existing auto-load behaviour.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`When set, the themes\/ directory is not auto-loaded \u2014 list its files here if you want both.`\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `themes`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
