If your edits are done in the "theme tweaker" within Reaper, what it does when you save those changes is to create a separate *.reapertheme file in the colorthemes folder. That *.reapertheme file contains only the information relevant to things that the theme tweaker can manage. It references the *.ReaperThemeZip file upon which it's based, for images and other more complex things which are in a file named rtconfig.txt (within the *.ReaperThemZip archive). If you replace that *.ReaperThemeZip archive with a new one, overwriting it, you can still recall your changes made in that *.reapertheme file. Just make sure that file refers to the correct *.ReaperThemeZip file (if you overwrite a *.ReaperThemeZip with one of the same name, the file with changes you made in the theme tweaker will just use the new *.ReaperThemeZip file for whatever it contains). If you need to edit a *.reapertheme file to "point it" to a specific *.ReaperThemeZip for some reason, just open it in a text editor and edit the line that says "ui_img=*.ReaperThemeZip" and save it.
