Hi Folks!<br>
<br>
In a nutshell I've lost most of my Themes -- the ones like Steppes,
Retro-wide, Childish, etc., which provide a backdrop and the
appearance of the TV show selection menu and other menus. (Found
out in my Googling there are many type of 'themes'.) This has
happened on most if not all of the Frontends here, so possibly a bug
or I'm just consistently doing something wrong. Found the files are
supposed to be in<font face="Courier 10 Pitch">
/usr/share/mythtv/themes</font>
or
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style><font
face="Courier 10 Pitch">(home directory) /</font><font
face="Courier 10 Pitch">.mythtv/themes</font> . If the theme is
listed in Setup> Theme Chooser it's in one of those directories.
If it used to be and 'disappeared' I've not been able to find it
anywhere: not Trash, not some random directory.<br>
<br>
Latest issue was I created a new Frontend. Originally had these
Themes listed:<br>
<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }</style>
<ol>
<li>A Forest 2.2</li>
<li>Arclight 28.1</li>
<li>Blue Abstract 1.12</li>
<li>Childish 25.1</li>
<li>LCARS 1.0</li>
<li>Monochrome 1.91</li>
<li>MythAeonNox 28.5</li>
<li>Mythbuntu 28.21</li>
<li>Mythbuntu-classic
26.22</li>
<li>MythCenter 1.3</li>
<li>MythCenter-wide 1.7</li>
<li>MythCenterXMAS-wide
1.5</li>
<li>MythMediaStream
Redux 28.1</li>
<li>Readability 0.5</li>
<li>Retro-wide 1.1</li>
<li>Steppes 28.6</li>
<li>Steppes-narrow 28.4</li>
<li>Terra 1.4</li>
<li>TintedGlass 4.56</li>
<li>TransBlue 1.0</li>
<li>Willi 2.28</li>
</ol>
Select Steppes 28.6
==> downloads, goes to Terra. Reselect Theme Chooser, now only:
<ol>
<li> MythCenter 1.3</li>
<li> MythCenter-wide
1.7</li>
<li> Steppes 28.6</li>
<li> Terra 1.4</li>
</ol>
Exited, rebooted, LIS tried to find with the 'find' command...
Haven't been able to find a live repository (?) where can download a
Themes Package (correct terminology?). Have found where I can
download some of the Themes but not all.<br>
<br>
BTW, running 0.28. LIS this missing Themes problem is on all of my
Frontends of various brands, home-made, 32- and 64 bit.....<br>
<br>
So the questions are what do I do to restore the Themes and what do
I do to keep from loosing them again?<br>
<br>
TIA!<br>
