Backing up MyColors themes
Sunday, August 24, 2008 by DaveRI | Discussion: MyColors
Hey-
If I just back up the .MyColors file, even after the theme's been installed, that'll still back up the entire theme so it can be reinstalled without downloading again in case of system failure, right? Saw the other related files out there in the ThemeManager directory and got to wondering. Thanks.

MyColors saw it, prompted for a serial/key (which it already had filled in, probably from some file or reg entry I didn't get deleted). It loaded the theme fine, didn't need to download.
Impulse, on the other hand, still showed the theme as "available" at this point, even after it had been re-installed by MyColors. Seemed the only way to get Impulse to recognize it as installed was to let Impulse download it again.
Trivia for the day, "just the facts, ma'am".
