Copying themes to a new hard disc
Friday, December 27, 2002 by niceday | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am going to fit a new hard disc to my computer and do not want to lose the skin/theme that I have spent so long customising to my own requirements. How do I copy the existing theme definition to the new disc. Is it simply a matter of copying the required object files as graphic files using the "export selected object" function of Desktop X? Creating a backup using a CD writer and then copying back to the default theme directory on the new disc once objectDesktop has been installed.

You should be able to just back up the .dxtheme file of your theme, and then stick it into the new install of DX.

I copied all the files in the object desktop folder because I didn't want to loose anything again after my computer crashed. Now I have my stuff sfely tucked away (along with other things, exspecially my favorites folder for web sites) on a CD and a 250mb ZIP disk.
