Laravel 5.x override View from DB

I am trying to override Views based on the logged in user theme. We have a themes table, each user has a FK to a theme.

My directory structure is as follows:

- resources
  - themes 
    - my_custom_theme
  - views

I've created a copy of ViewServiceProvider of my own and am extending the original one. This works fine, I am overriding registerViewFinder(), this also works fine. However at this stage of the app cycle, auth()->user() is not set so I cannot get their theme.

    /**
     * Register the view finder implementation.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function registerViewFinder()
    {
        $this->app->bind('view.finder', function ($app) {

            //dd($app['config']['view.paths']);

            //dd(auth()->user()->theme);

            return new FileViewFinder($app['files'], $app['config']['view.paths']);
        });
    }

I would like to generate a path based on the logged in users theme, so it can load from this directory instead. resources/themes/my_custom_theme.

If I don't have access to the user here, what is the expected way to go about this?

Many Thanks
