Where Do I Put The Reaper Theme Files?

[OakleyRdStudios]

I've done this before but I have some kind of brain freeze and can't remember how I did it.

I have adjusted some of the images a bit. I had originally unpacked the REAPER theme folders into a folder (on Mac) as a copy and then edited some of the images in the copied version. I can't remember where it has to go now or how to make it into a ZIP file. I did know all this, but have completely forgotten the steps. I am unable to get to the REAPER theme files on my Mac through Finder but someone told me how to get there through the Finder 'Go to folder' command in the Finder menu. So I need to know if I need to zip it back up again or not and where I need to go to overwrite the theme.

Your previous thread is here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=211491. Themes don't have to be zipped to be used. The folder containing the theme only needs to be inside the ColorThemes folder in the resource directory.

Thank you very much!

Now, my editing folder looks like this:[img]https://forum.cockos.com/attachment....1&d=1542085586[/img]

What do I need to do, regarding zipping them into a t-shirt icon that triggers the theme in REAPER?

[OakleyRdStudios]

Okay. Got it, I think.

No, I haven't got it. In the themes folder there are just t-shirt icons. I don't actually know what to do now. There are no other folders in there. Do I just dump this folder in there?

[OakleyRdStudios]

It hasn't worked by just putting the folder in there.

Zipping was the wrong question, I think. I need to turn the Default 3.1 folder full of images and the t-shirt icon into just one t-shirt file but I cannot remember how to do that.

no

drop the non-t-shirt icon and the folder in your Reaper/ColorThemes folder

The T-shirt icon means it's a zipped (or compacted) Reaper theme file containing both the theme file and the image folder.
Zipped (or compacted) Reaper Theme files end with:
.ReaperThemeZip

The doc or text icon means it's an unknown file or a file not associated with a program.
This particular file is the un-zipped (or un-packed) theme file for your theme.
Un-zipped (or un-packed) Reaper Theme files end with:
.ReaperTheme

Note there is no 'Zip' at the end.
This file requires the un-zipped (or un-packed) image folder for the theme in order to work.
