  1. Investigate the WP_Theme class, located here. This is a relevant portion from the get_page_templates function:

    foreach ( $files as $file => $full_path ) {
    if ( ! preg_match( '|Template Name:(.*)$|mi', file_get_contents( $full_path ), $header ) )
        continue;
    // do stuff
}

  2. This may be useful as you decide how to name and visually represent different themes.

    The Theme’s name is set in the opening remarks in the style.css file in each Theme folder. That name appears when viewing the installed Themes the WP admin,

    /**
    * Theme Name: My Theme

    And the thumbnail that appears along with the Theme name is named “screenshot.png” and is also placed in the theme folder.
