3OH3 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have iAtkos v7 (10.5.7) installed along with Chameleon v2 bootloader on my Gateway T-1631 laptop. In order to install my customized theme for Chameleon v2 I would need to find the /Extras folder in the root of the partition, which does not seem to be there. What IS there are Applications, Developer, Library, System and User. The com.apple.boot.plist file is located under preferences in Library where it should be located in Extras (so I've read). That being true the "Themes" file which is supposedly under the "Extras" folder which is also missing should also be under the "Library" folder but it isn't. I've tried searching my partition for the "Themes" and "Extras" folders but they're just not in there. Am I missing something? Further insight would be appreciated.

3OH3 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Open a Terminal window and type cd / edit: Wait wait it changed the squiggle to the root symbol in the terminal. I guess that meant I was invoked root privelages now so I typed in "open extra" in the terminal and bam it worked. Thanks for that command snackole. And for anyone wondering if there isn't a "Themes" folder for Chameleon in the extra folder then just create one and paste the folder with all the files of your theme and then navigate to your partitions "Library" folder, go to "Preferences", "System configuration" (or something like that) and then open "com.apple.boot.plist" and add two lines before the "</dict>" and type in the following for your theme (which you placed in the Themes folder): <key>Theme</key> <string>Your theme name here</string> (replace the your theme name here with the name of the folder containing your theme) Then click "save as" and save it at the same name with ".plist" at the end to your desktop (it will ask if you want to keep the ".plist" extension, click yes) copy the new "com.apple.boot.plist" file from your desktop to the folder with the original "com.apple.boot.plist" and click "authenticate" and then "replace", and reboot. The theme should now be in working order Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/175874-no-extras-folder-1057-iatkos/#findComment-1205638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
