sjoens Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) I just cleaned up my theme folder of unwanted/unused themes. Then I renamed several. After a system reboot CbB still lists all the old names in Preferences. Not sure which is which now. Since Theme Editor is no longer updated is there a way to fix this on my end? Theme Editor itself sees the new names as expected. Edited October 9 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Editor itself sees the new names as expected. It’s not clear if you by Rename mean that you have changed the theme's file name using File Explorer. If so, the file name is not what’s displayed in Preferences. You’ll have to load each theme you’d want to rename into Theme Editor and then select Save As to rename the theme. That will create a copy of the file with the new file name and also update a string located inside the theme sth file. It’s the latter that determines the name being displayed in Preferences.

sjoens Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 (edited) Yes I renamed them in the folder. The quickest, most common, traditional method used by normal people everywhere. 1 hour ago, Canopus said: You’ll have to load each theme you’d want to rename into Theme Editor and then select Save As to rename the theme. That will update both the file name and a string located inside the theme sth file. It’s the latter that determines the name being displayed in Preferences. Thanks for that info Canopus. but simply loading and Saving As to the same name does not work. I located the STRING names in a resource editor and found the names had not changed. This method only works if you're renaming it differently than the name it already has. What does work is, opening the theme, double-clicking a color, clicking OK and hitting SAVE. Now... does doing that to 40+ already renamed files sound like a good use of time? I love the T.E. but the renaming thing sounds like a bad way to code.

Canopus Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I can see that you quoted the first version of my post. Soon after I realized that I hadn't been clear enough, so I updated it ten minutes later. But, apparently, that wasn't soon enough. I agree that it could have been made easier to rename a theme from within the Theme Editor. But, realistically, I can't see most users ever having to rename a large number of themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 (edited) Only me & only once.... 25 minutes ago, Canopus said: I can see that you quoted the first version of my post. Either way looks like I misread it, but they were already renamed so I wasn't going to rename them again. I just finished using the method I posted in bold above and didn't take so long. Took longer to create this thread tho you helped get me on the right track. Edited October 9 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
