That is right, you can change an existing scheme, you can not add another
one to the drop down list, got it?

Wow. Did you understand anything from my original post? I clearly
asked how to *create*, not *modify*, a scheme. Got it?

For that matter, did you even read your own posts? In your previous
post, you said, and I quote,

"Pick a scheme>change it to your liking>click Save as>change the name
if you like>click ok"

What does "change the name if you like mean"?

What the hell do you think the Save As... button is for if you cannot
add another scheme to the list?

I suppose I should have realized you have no idea what you are talking
about when you didn't even know the OS this NG is about. How do you
make it through the day?
