… of starting to alter themes. Sorry, one more preparation article, next week we’re actually changing fonts and you can then use your new theme right away!
First, duplicate the themPack file we looked at last week, so we always have access to our test file. You can rename the duplicate to anything you want – its name has nothing to do with its functionality, so you can rename it again later.
I want to stress two things before we continue. I had added a special note to last week’s article, so in case you missed it: all this only works in Bento 2.
Secondly, this hack does not alter the Bento program file in any way, just individual theme bundles, and you should always work with duplicates, so not to change the original themes.
