This is great Thete! I only just found this. Good work! Not sure about the colours on the dark version but the light one is great. It's my new theme :)

Having complimented the excellent theme, I did however have one issue with it. Call it constructive criticism. I don't know if it's a bug or meant to be that way. It's with the new radial menu. I preferred the old one and while the new burnished brass radial menu perhaps works with the darker theme. It doesn't really match with the lighter theme IMHO. I don't know whether this is easily changed or whatever but it's just this one feature that stops it from being perfect for me. Just my 2 cents worth.

unzip the extensions and have a poke around - you will find how easily you might be able to replace those radial menu icons.

Always welcome. I made the radial icons when there was no light theme. Then someone said they like it to be lighter...so I made lighter desktop and now I prefer lighter, but I don't think the default radials will grow on me. 
I'll make a lighter theme without the radials and post it up, gimme a week or so to get round to it :)
...or do as damned suggested

Having had a poke around in the unarchived extensions I can see the icons I would need to replace to revert to the default radial menu. The question I have though is once unarchived. And assuming I replace burnished brass radial icons with the default one. How do I then go about repacking the unarchived file into a .ext file that is readable by FG. I've had a similar issue with a unextracted .mod files. I don't know how to repackage an unarchived .mod file back into a .mod file once i've edited the contents. I'm beginning to think it may be an issue with me using mac osx and the way it extracts and rearchives files but i'm not too sure. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong Damned?

you can remove/replace the tokens in two ways -
1. Swap out the graphics with the preferred ones ensuring the names match exactly
2. Remove the new graphics AND remove the code that calls them - look at the xml files in the graphics subdir

when done - ZIP (not 7z, arj or any other compression method) the contents of the extension folder and its subfolders but NOT the root folder itself - and then rename the file from something.zip to something.ext

Please note that FG will actually read/load the unpacked dir as well as the packed extension so clean up the unpacked one when done.
