Thanks guys, yes, I sort of "figured out" that I could do it that way. But, just for argument's sake, isn''t that what you would expect a "theme" to do? Isn't that why you want to install a theme instead of just icons and a taskbar? Anyway, before changing theme my desk had a number of shrtcuts and icons none of which appear in the new theme. When I go back to default (austerity) the re-appear. Any suggestions how to have them stick around in the new theme?
