Lost theme?

I have a theme on my PPC that I can't find the files for. Not just on my desktop, but on my PPC either. What I'm afraid this will mean is that if I put on another theme I won't be able to get this one back.

Can someone help explain to me what may have happened, adn clue me in on if there is a way to somehow export my theme from my PPC so it can be re-installed?

Girevik:

Have you tried looking for the tsk file in the \Windows directory of your Pocket PC? Also, does it still appear as a theme on your Pocket PC? If not, I wouldn't add on another theme to overwrite it. Where did you download this theme? If it is still available on the internet there should be no problem to install it again.

-Tim

The only .tsk file in Windows does not appear to be the theme I'm using (and yes it does still appear as the theme of my PPC).

I don't know where I downloaded it - it was several years ago. I've searched for it on Google and haven't been able to find it again.

Yeah, it's not there either. I just see the one .tsk file I DID see in the Windows folder and "Windows Default".

Is it possible that the one I'm using got renamed is actually IS the one in the windows folder? I'm half tempted to try selecting it on the today settings, but if it's not I'm thinking I won't be able to get back to what I have.

Here's another idea, why not try to search your pocket pc. Use *.TSK in the seach panel and see what comes up.

No luck. For some reason it doesn't even find the one I KNOW is there. Same result when I do the search from my PC when it's connected.

I have no idea what the name of it was. It's a Miami Univiersity (the one in Ohio, not the copycat in FL) theme.

Dang your right... that theme is hard to find. Can you find the jpg wallpaper? That should be all you need. I'd be more than happy to help you out with it.

Ok - I finally got around to looking for it. The only jpegI see in the Windows folder is the Ipaq splash screen.

I know this sounds tedious, but can you try to search for all jpgs on your iPAQ? I know it has to be somewhere on there, it just can't stay resident without a file...
