How can an advanced user build their own theme in ver 11.2 or the new beta 12?
I had a theme i built for a prior version that i liked and want to use again.
Thanks.

Currently custom theming is not supported by the platform.
But there are some work-arounds. I use my personal theme, too.
Let me explain step by step how I did it:
- Create a copy of folder
..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics
- Now choose one of the available themes in
..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\Themes
(DefaultDark f.e.) and modify the files according to your theme
You mentioned that you are an experienced themer so you will know which files to modify.
- After all go to Options -> Designs in the Portable Apps menu and set the theme to the one you modified before. Done!
I hope this helps.
Feel free to come back for further questions if there are any.
Kind regards
