Achiving the theme or copying it to a different installation?

Not sure for that specific program.

Usually the JWM themes are located in:
/root/.jwm/themes (.jwm is a hidden directory. To see it Rox file manage needs set to show all)

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

If you create a new theme, you should be able to find it using pfind to search for the name you created.

Terry you're right & I did that with no results, probably failing to specify a parameter (like system files instead of personal or all).

I also probably had an inkling of where to look, but my focus isn't continuously on the os & it isn't rote.

I did a time search (today) and results were very small files in /etc.

Strange thing...

The Tahr default theme, paleblue or something like that, won't load in the editor.

But I think I improved upon it.

I'd only seek two new features:

  1. More/better font control

  2. The Active color is the same as the highlight color, so the active window is the same color of the menu item you've moused over. I'd want them separate.

A newer Theme Maker looks useful for Slackware with Ptheme.

You looked in /root/.jwm/themes and could not find the theme you made?

I did, why I thanked you for your post.

No Puppy crises at the moment except I have some learning to do and need to know how to compile a simple script.
