instead? You shouldn't need to gain root as it's going into a user directory (for people unfamiliar with *nices, ~ is the user's home directory, in this case /home/user and .local is a hidden directory within it) and you don't need to backup as you're leaving the original files intact. Also using mv rather than cp avoids having extra copies of the files cluttering the filesystem up.
This is really useful, simple, clean and only two lines code involve! Simply perfect!

I don't really understand how it works and what more it is possible to do with that because it doesn't work with /usr/share/themes/

Strange..
