Installed new Theme..Now Banner and other images are Gone!

[thenetxchange]

I can't begin to count how much profanity has come out of my mouth already trying to get my custom header and other stuff back onto my forum. I installed Theme 'Bean' and now all my work's undone. Still have members,posts,etc.
I am using 2.0 RC5

And I just spent the past hour and a half of my life trying to search for the solution on the forums here. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or do I have to reupload everything?

I did make a backup before I changed themes, but when extracting, it says 'unexpected end of file' what the heck?

Can't find a theme called "Bean".

Is it for RC5?

Cancel that. The search must've gone weird.

I have it.

You mean that all the edits died on the default theme, too?

I didn't do too much editing on the actual default theme...I was using 'Curve Gold' theme- that had my banner, icons,etc...everything was fine. Then I decided I wanted a change  You'll see if you goto the site--on top- everything's gone. www.thenetxchange.com

Unless Im doing something wrong here- I uploaded the backup into the 'bean' folder--is that correct? But like I said- it doesnt seem to be extracting. arghhhhh

Well, if you make edits to the files in one theme's directory, why would you think they'd affect other themes, too?

If you make edits to, say, the default theme's index.template.php, you'd need to make the same edits to a custom theme's index.template.php, too, for it to show up, with that theme.

Does that makes sense?

oh crap. so backing up the original changes I had, and trying to upload them into the new theme is just not gonna happen then? Oh man. ty

Likely not, no.

When I do things, like that, I often try to create new files for whatever I'm doing.

Particularly if they're gonna be exactly the same for every theme.

Then, I call the file from each theme's template.

Like the script that I use for my banner.

I created a new file and just called it from each theme's index.template.

Not always feasible, though, unfortunately.
