First of all, let me apologize for my limited knowledge on the subject of OSX as well as if I am asking a question that is answered elsewhere. I have recently converted my Dell Mini 9 to dual boot OSX 10.6.4 (lots of fun, and time, getting there) and Windows 7. I know very little about OSX, which will be apparent in my post in a moment. I should start by clarifying here, that I installed Chameleon v2 using Netbook Installer, so I am not sure exactly what it did to the file structure.
I've read everything out here on applying themes, and I feel comfortable that I know the mechanics of it now. The problem is, that I can't see my Extra folder. I researched how folders are hidden and I downloaded an app (Houdini) to allow me to see my hidden folders... voila, I can see Extra now in Houdini. Awesome, except when I try to modify the folder attributes (using Houdini) to permanently reveal it in Finder, it says, it's not hidden... well, it may not be "hidden" in the sense that the attribute is set that Houdini is referring to, but I can assure you that it's not visible in my finder Window on my OSX partition, where it is definitely installed.
I've Googled and search these and other forums, and no luck on figuring out how to make it visible to me in Finder. Ok, well, I figured I'd get past that later. I tried to rename a logo file to "_bak" so that I can get back there if I screw it up, in the default theme folder, and it told me I don't have permission to do so. Now I'm really stuck, since I can't see anything to change any permissions.
Any help that folks could offer on how to make my Extra, "Not Hidden" folder, actually visible in finder, as well as have the files contained there-in updatable by me, would be very appreciated.
