Using Admin Theme on Other Pages

Hi All,
I think this is fairly simple to do, but I couldn't find
anything in
the forum/handbooks. I have a theme that's very specific and
doesn't
work well for admin type situations, so I have an admin
theme set up.
I'd like to use my admin theme on other pages, so in my
custom module
hook_menu (taking a cue from system.module) i have:

function custom_menu($may_cache) {
  $items = array();
  if ($may_cache) {
     blah blah blah
  }
  else {
    if (arg(0) == 'webfm' OR arg(0) == 'user') {
      global $custom_theme;
      $custom_theme = variable_get('admin_theme', '0');
    }
  }
return $items;
}

Which doesn't work at all, although it does set the
variable
$custom_theme quite nicely. I'm thinking I have to set this
at another
time, but I don't know how the whole admin theme thing
works. Any
suggestions?  Thanks.

Yes, that's pretty much what I do in the civicrm_theme.

http
://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/civ
icrm_theme/civicrm_theme.module?revision=1.1

function civicrm_theme_menu($may_cache) {
  if ($may_cache) {
  }
  elseif (arg(0) == 'civicrm') {
    global $custom_theme;
    $theme_var = arg(1) == 'admin' ? 'civicrm_admin_theme' :
'civicrm_theme';
    if (($custom_theme = variable_get($theme_var, '0')) !=
'0') {
      $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'system');
      drupal_add_css($path .'/admin.css', 'module');
    }
  }
  return array();
}
