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.) :)

Ah, this is a much better option than mine! I might have to start remembering to do this when I switch layers, because I always shuffle my modules around for aesthetic reasons, and it'd be nice not to have to fiddle with the customization options...

Question, though: if I'm pasting the layer to restore an old layout, will the "Customize Your Theme" pages be able to read from that layer so I could make further edits? (Or will touching that nuke my pasted layer from orbit and return to the default settings of the theme?)

The customization wizard will read in from that layer - it'll only nuke things that it can't write (which is mostly custom S2 code, I think). I did just realize that I think instead of making a new wizard layer there for pasted customizations, you may have to pick your layout and theme, and then change something in the wizard to get it to generate a new wizard layer, and then go in and paste on that, because I don't think there's a way to say 'use this wizard layer' other than possibly through the 'My Styles' page.

Thank you. 'Tis a superb option, methinks. I will definitely try that. And yes, custom module text etc. is user-based and carries over. Think journal title and the like.
