Find name of current theme

[cfourkays]

How do you find the name of the current theme have installed?
Personalization only shows "Unsaved Theme".
Right now I have "Bing Dynamic" installed but nowhere on the Personalization page does it show.
I've had a couple of customers ask me and I'm a little stumped.

Go to
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
AppData is hidden use step 3 of this tutorial to unhide it http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/56005-file-folder-hide-unhide.html

There will be a Custom.theme file, right click on it and Open with notepad, scroll down to [VisualStyles] and look at the theme info there. The themes are at C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Here are 2 screenshots.

Hey, Bongo Jerry,

Thanks for the reply.
I asked the question as the way my customers ask me.
I should have said I know how to get there. RSS theme go black at times and you have to get there to delete the false themes.

What I was looking for was an easy way to indentify the existing Theme to a non-geek person.
I
Interesting comparing your Notepad file and the way mine is. I don't think mine identifies the Theme as yours does. Attached.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The only reason you're .theme file is different from mine is because I was using a custom theme before making changes that created the Custom.theme file.
