saving custom theme doesn't work? and some other stuff. #146

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. After customizing constructor, you want to save your changes (for upgrades, 
a backup, etc) so you go to constructor->customize->save, give it a name and 
click 'save theme' and then 'save changes'. 
2. Go to the Themes tab. Select the theme you saved in step 1.
3. Save.
4. Go back to the 'Themes' tab. It appears to be using 'current' not the one 
selected in step 2. 

What version of the ... are you using?
1. Wordpress: 3.1 (latest as of 2011-04-03)
2. Constructor: 1.5.7
3. PHP: 5.x
4. Browser: firefox 3 or ie8
5. OS:xp prof

What URL of your blog(s)?
1. http://www.wasatchwebservices.com

Please provide any additional information below.

(sorry for the length of this post - it happens)

No matter how many times I pick my saved theme, it always reverts to 'current'. 

Is this by design and I'm missing how this is supposed to work? In the old 
constructor(1.4.3) I could save a bunch of different themes and pick whichever 
one I wanted to work on. Loved that feature. 

Another thought: Wouldn't this affect child themes? Don't
 have one but might need one someday.

Additionally, via ftp, I went into uploads/constructor/cache/style.css to get 
rid of css I don't want. Saved the file and went back to the constructor admin 
and when I save the theme (using steps above), the old css comes back. 

Specifically, I'm trying to get rid of #menu li:hover { 
background-color:#d1d0cd }. Don't know where it's coming from or why I can't 
delete it, but it's like flypaper.

Also, this may be a new issue, but I customized my tile layout in a previous 
version of constructor (1.4.3). After upgrading to 1.5.7, I restored the tile 
layout I'd saved from my previous version of constructor and it was all horked 
up. My css for that layout didn't work either. This may be more of an FYI, but 
I ended up having to re-create my custom layout and css for constructor 1.5.7.  
Maybe I missed the flashing red sign saying "Your old layouts won't work 
anymore", if so, ignore this comment ;-)

All that being said, Thanks so much for constructor! I do like the theme quite 
a bit. After a little struggle, I got the lavalamp menu to work on it this 
weekend (on wp3.1! Yay me!)

I only had to edit Main.php (to drop the jquery files in the right place) and 
ready.js to add an id, a class and call the function. And css of course. I 
don't have an admin interface for it, but I could probably come up with one if 
you'd consider adding it to the constructor core. Not sure - but I think the 
license allows for that, eh?

Anyway, I'd love it if you added at least the js files to the core so I don't 
have re-work it everytime constructor is updated. Or even better, make it so 
ready.js could be edited or be able to drop custom js files in the new 
upload/constructor/theme directory.

Thanks again for all your work on this theme - it rocks!

Regarding the cache/style.css file: It seems that whenever I make a change of 
any kind in constructor admin, the cache/style.css reverts back to the original 
and my edits disappear, not just when I follow the steps above. 

For example, I changed some text in the constructor->customize->footer tab, 
saved it and the li:hover line I removed yesterday came back. Makes it really 
hard to make any changes in constructor since I have to re-do all my 
customizations in the style file every single time I click 'save' anywhere in 
the admin.

Just wondering if this is going to be fixed? If so, could you give me a heads 
up on timing? It is still deleting my custom themes and layouts.
