SOLVED - saving custom re-colouring of existing theme

[lacrimula_falsa]

Hi there.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes:

I have recoloured EVERYTHING on my current journal theme (plus I added a background image). I don't want to lose all that work when I switch themes. Is there a way to save my custom colours in a reusable way in case I later switch back to my current theme?

Thanks in advance for any help

EDIT: Thank you all for the help. I've now found a method that works for me. (Saving the contents of the wizard layer.) :)

There is, but afaik there are some limitations to it.

So. From "Select Style", there's a box that says "USERNAME's current theme", and has some other links. You want to click on Advanced Customization. On that page, you want to scroll down to Your Styles and click that.

There might be a few different styles there - mine looks like this. If you click on the numbers, (#0000000) that will let you preview what theme that was before you hit the Use button. (You can also hit Edit if you want to change the name to something you'll remember.)

HOWEVER: This will only save themes. It will not save where you wanted your modules for this specific theme. It will not save different text in the custom textbox. So it sounds perfect for saving your colors, right? It is.

But, I also vaguely remember that it can only save one color combination per theme base.

So, for instance right now I'm using "City Dragon" colors (with some tweaks) on the base "Tectonic". If I decide that I want to try out "Elegant Brown" colors on the base "Leftovers" I can do that, and when I don't like it I can go back to Your Styles and click on my old layout to get my colors and theme back. But if I decide that I want to try "Memory of Flowers" colors in the base "Tectonic", it will wipe out my "City Dragon" customized colors because it's the same base theme.

Does that make sense? (I could also be wrong. I'm pretty sure that's how it used to be, but there might have been some bugfixes since then.) So, if I were you, I would totally take advantage of "Your Styles"... but also keep a backup stash of screenshots to tell me what my colors were in case they accidentally get wiped out.

Funny thing is, I have since stumbled upon this exact method by accident. XD

And yes, as far as I noticed it will save one set of custom colours per base theme. As far as I could see it saved my background image and custom CSS too.
