I am doing some work on a cart that someone else started.
I want to modify the theme using Designer but need to know the name and width of the theme that was used. Other than just looking at all of the themes, how can I find out what theme was used?
I assume the the theme name is listed somewhere in the files.

All the themes are categorized by two sizes, 800px and 1024px. Just use the drop down list in Shopping Cart Designer to select the theme size you would like to work with.

Scott
Are you saying that the only way is to look at each and try to find the right one that way?
As you know, several are quite similar.

If looking is the only way, can I suggest a new feature the shows the theme name, possible on the "Your Shop" button?

I see what you are saying now. Right now there is no way to see those dimensions if you are opening a custom theme. I will see if in a future version they can address this for you.

Actually I agree fully with Jim here on this issue. After reinstalling everything with the Windows 7 install, I found I couldn't remember which file was my actual theme. I have a bunch of variations with similar names and it took me a hella time to find the right one. In the end it was the only one that wasn't upgraded to the Pro version for beta testing so that part at least made it easier to know it was the right one, but...

There really should be something in the program somewhere telling us exactly which theme is associated with the shop we have open at the time. When I open the .scc file for my shop I should be able to go to a setting somewhere that is storing the information for what theme it is using, but I don't see this anywhere, and when I reinstalled it asked me what theme to use instead of telling me which one was already associated. That was a bit of a scare there lol.

Not sure if this can be done, but it sure would be nice if it was documented in the file somewhere, even if it's not in the same place later at least we'd have the name of it or something?

As a work around for now, when you save or export, just include the dimensions in your file name.

Scott I do not think that it was a custom theme, in the case of the project I am working on.
If it was a custom theme, even the name of the base theme would help

Post a screen shot of it on this thread Jim and there's a good chance someone will be able to tell you exactly what theme was used.

Thanks, Will
I figured out which theme the other guy used by looking at all of them.
I was just hoping for an easier way. Lazy, I guess
