Back up current theme

When I reformat, I backup each program in its own folder, and, separately, each theme/skin in it's own folder, to DVD(orCD) and reinstall all the programs after I get back to running again. Then reinstall the various skins/themes. CAUTION: First wait for more expert help here as I tend to bork my PC on a regular basis and what I described may not be the wisest or work for everyone. Sometimes when I reinstall things, they don't recognize each other anymore and don't want to play nice because registry keys or something didn't get transferred. If help doesn't arrive in time, go ahead and use this method, it'll 'probably' work just fine. Might be a good idea to print out a hard-copy of the data as a fail-safe. Best of luck.

maybe by using theme manager to pack up your setup as a suite?

If all else fails I will give these ideas a try. Thank you for your help.

Try this...in each Object Desktop app there's a folder containing themes, skins etc.
If you have a DVD player (Duh who doesn't)you can copy these folders to a DVD disk as opposed to a regular CD. Graphic details won't be lost. If you have a backup utility like Nero or one similar use that app to backup your folders, reformat, install first what you need to then copy the folders back into their original places. Worked for me.
Had to do that three times already Good luck

That requires a dvd burner, not just a dvd player. The skins and stuff should be able to fit on a CD anyway.

Also, Archiving with SDC.

I tried to edit to correct that but I was denied access. Burning them to a DVD is a better choice, not for size but for quality.
