Appearance Settings - Save Profile?

It takes quite a while to set up the font types & sizes in 'Appearance
Settings'. Unfortunately there is no method of saving one's settings, for
example, by creating a profile. So if one tries another theme or whatever and
is disatisfied with the result, one has to go through all the settings again
to get back to where one was before experimenting with other settings/ themes
etc.
So, please could we have a 'Save to profile' for the desktop appearance?

Re: Appearance Settings - Save Profile?

This is how it is done. Set up what you want in Appearance Settings then
apply. Go to Themes, click on "Save As" Name it what you want and and send
it to where you want. Your settings should now be saved. It you want to
check you can open the .theme file you created in Notepad and see if the
fonts or whatever are what you picked. Then close Notepad.
