Silly me! I was looking for ~/Library/Application Support/ThemeChanger, of course!

It backs up items that themes change on the fly. So, if you install a theme that changes BootX, it backs up BootX before installing the theme's one. Of course, this is completley unuseful because if BootX is broken, you can't boot your comp to replace it anyway.


Well I see the purpose of the Aqua backup as a way to return to a cohesive look, not just save a broken computer. Let's say I have stock Aqua installed and install a theme with no BootX. My Aqua backup won't have a BootX backup right? Then I install a theme that does have a BootX. Then I revert to Aqua. Won't I be stuck with that second theme's BootX? Or will it back it up when I install the second theme?

Well I have to admit that I am misusing the AquaBackup feature, because I'd never want to go back to Aqua. I am trying to use it to restore my custom theme after I try out other themes. I set up my computer just like I like it and then clear the Aquabackup and install a new theme. The backup then only contains the items that THAT theme replaced, not everything in my 'theme'. I guess I could get your program to do what I want if I find some theme that replaces EVERYTHING so the ThemeChanger would backup everything in my theme, but I guess the deeper question is what exactly IS everything that a theme could/should replace?

Oh yeah, I love it. It's the first themeswitcher that had brought me anything but grief!
