<warning><para>Testing and creating new themes is fun but do know that themes are comprehensive

changes to the desktop. When applying a new theme, many related options are not restored
|
||||
when reverting to the previous theme. Generally this is not important to many users who
|
||||
accept all components of a theme, but to those who like to customize the desktop using
|
||||
individual features, installing new themes will override many desktop customizations.
|
||||
To avoid this result requires 1) saving the existing settings as a new theme, 2) manually
|
||||
configuring and testing each setting one at a time, or 3) using a backup copy of your Trinity
|
||||
profile directory ($TDEHOME, normally $HOME/.trinity).</para></warning>
