I recall a number of people asking for this functionality, so I thought I'd create a plugin for it and share it here! Announcing Premium Themes!
This integrates with the Supporter plugin here to allow you to select which themes are only available to paid Supporters. Pretty simple, but it sure beats manually enabling themes for supporters.

Aaron,
I installed the Premium Themes plugin. When I click on Update Options after making my selections to enable themes for supporters, it doesn't do anything. It's not saving my selections. Do you know if anyone else has had this problem? I deleted it and re-installed it and I still have this issue.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Don't know if Lori has the same issue, but I just found out that when I enable a theme it does get saved, but when I deselect the theme it doesn't get saved ("Settings Saved" is displayed whenever I click the "Update Options" button).
I just grabbed the plugin again and reinstalled and it is now working perfect!
I did that twice the other day and still couldn't get it working.....
It was not showing the "Settings Saved" after I clicked on the Update Options.

Fixed this issue just now in 1.0.2. Thanks for spotting it Hiranthi!
I modified your plugin to stick a simple message at the top of the themes.php page telling non-subscribers that they could be using premium themes if/when they become a supporter.
But what I've noticed is once they do become Supporters, the premium themes just get mixed in with all the regular ones, so they have to sift through 100+ themes to find the good ones.
Is there an easier way that Supporters can get right to the themes I've made Premium?
Or perhaps you could stick a bit of red text after the theme description that says "This is a premium theme" or "Supporters only" or something to make them stand out? Kind of like how your plugin manager works?

Unfortunately there are no hooks currently in themes.php for any of that, or I would have done it. You can't even change the theme order!
You could completely replace the themes.php menu with your own though. There is a sort themes by tag plugin on wpmudev that you could modify. It needs some real work though.

Try downloading the latest version first. I fixed some bugs with the form submission.
I can't imagine any other reason for your problem. What browser are you using? Does it say "Settings Saved"?

Using the latest version btw.

It's merged into supporter now in a much more fabulous way, and since the old onw only worked with supporter anyway not really much point.
