New computer not finding my custom theme

[gmp]

I created a custom theme quite some time ago and also version of CbB were using it. Now that I have a new computer it's not showing up under Preferences. Any ideas?

I assume your theme file is located in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Themes, or similar.

Try copying and renaming an existing theme in that folder, then close/reopen Cakewalk and see if the "new" theme shows up.

Try renaming your custom theme and see if it shows up.

I can create a text file called "TestTheme.sth" containing "THIS IS NOT A THEME FILE" and if it is located in that directory, Cakewalk will offer it up as a choice in the Theme drop-down (Obviously i don't try to select it; just proving that corrupt theme files will probably still show up in the list).

EDIT

I maybe over-thinking this. What is your custom theme file called? Where is it located? You know you have to copy over your custom theme files, they aren't stored in the cloud or anything.

I rerouted Cakewalk content in Preferences/Folders. Now it works - thanks
