Is it possible to effectively lock the system to a certain theme by<br>
copying and renaming that theme? If so, where would the newly renamed<br>
theme have to be stored so that it could be selected by the Theme<br>
Chooser? Is there an index that would have to updated too?<br>

<div>If you look in ~/.mythtv/themes/ you should see folders for each of the themes you have installed. Rename the folder. Then go into the folder and edit the themeinfo.xml file, there should be a name field in there. You'll want to rename the theme there
too.<br>

<div>As a themer, I like to ask a few questions when I get this type of request.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Which theme?</div>
<div>2) Why do you need to freeze it?</div>

I plan on building a system for a non-technical relative and wanted to avoid any future messages advising them of an update to their theme. They won't know what a theme is, much less want to update one.
<br>
<br>
Maybe that isn't the best approach. I'll always take advise from gurus - is there a better method to use?<br>
<br>
The theme in use is the current Mythbuntu.<br>
