Guys,

        I am very confused by theme setting in e17 and may have stumble across 
a bug 
or a musunderstood feature related to use of the "Advanced" Theme dialog and 
then a "subsequent" use of the "Basic" Theme dialog.

        At one time I had used the advanced theme dialog to set the background 
to 
night_bling_45 using the wallpaper dialog -> Picture. Later I had set the 
dialog to "Use Theme" background and had changed the theme to A-Sblack-Esp1 
and I believe the background was set to the A-Sblack-Esp1 theme background.

        Now things are all FUBAR with theme setting. The wallpaper setting is 
set to 
"Use Theme",but If I try and change the theme using the Basic Theme dialog, 
the theme will change, but the background will NOT change. I don't under stand 
this (bug/feature). I expected to be able to change the theme with the basic 
dialog and have it change all theme parameters (wallpaper included) when I 
select a new theme. Now the only way to change the wallpaper is to use the 
Advanced dialog and independently "assign" a background, otherwise, the 
background stays stuck on the previiously set background.

        I would expect using the basic dialog for it to change everything even 
after 
some independent settings were made with the advanced dialog. This would allow 
the user to "reset" all the parts of a theme after experimenting with the 
Advanced settings.

        I don't know if this is expected/unexpected for e17, but I know it was 
unexpected for me. If this isn't a bug, you will want to consider changing the 
function of the basic theme setting so that it sets (or resets) everything to 
the theme selected.

        Also, is there I file I can delete that will "Unstick" the advanced 
theme 
setting that is causing the background to stay stuck to the previous advanced 
setting?

        If you want me to post my .cfg files, just let me know, I'll be happy 
to. 
Thanks for your great work on e17. I love it!
