Guys,
This probably seems such a stupid question though I just can't get it correct, could someone please assist me.

I have installed a few themes and want to copy the themes to MyDocs so I can pick bits and pieces I like to make my own bastardised theme.

Example of what I was doing though didn't work.
sudo gainroot
mkdir MyDocs/THEME/ (THIS WORKED FINE)
cp /usr/share/themes/THEME/* MyDocs/THEME/

Then to paste back
cp MyDocs/THEME/* /usr/share/themes/THEME/

I am sorry I don't understand coding side at all, obvious i am sure, lol.

Stephen
