You're not allowed to know, its "top secret"...

It looks like its just setting theme templates. I think some other Distros have this in some of their tools, we had someone create something like this for MX-18 or MX-19 I believe, I remember seeing some threads on it.

Wow, when did Whitesnake get so heavy?

Would it work as an "Undecorate All" switch?

what it is is simple.
each theme within mxlinux is programmed to have its own thme color , its own decoration , its own icons and its own wallpaper , and will have its own conky.
and as someone else writes below this is in no other distro that can change everything into one, if you know which one just name them, none.
many have tried this but have not succeeded , because it is not as simple as you think ,
it's like 20 years ago, when ported themes were converted from html template to a content management system in php, the technique is the same, only in linux are other commands that do this.
voyager linux , has so system inside its distro but not everything changed , also makulu linux has this but not everything changed like with me the icons , the colors , panel , windows , decoration and then the wallpapers ,

in a ported theme everything must also be converted to php but the commands are also different, but there you had special software for that time 20 years ago, not for linux so everything within the stylchanger must be ported to the certain folders inside mxlinux like this does it work within the script?

infact all the maps inside stylechanger are ported bash script that opens the ported themes that have there own , icons, theme , window dcoration , color in the window , panel ect , and open itw own wallpaper , that is what it do. but everything must ported in a script for wallpapers , themes , icons and ect but it works fantastico

MX Tweak > Theme tab > Choose a theme set ... already does some of this except change icons, wallpaper, and maybe the panel (if this stylechanger is doing more than change panel theme).

I remember that app that a forum user created that did like whole DE theme changes, I think they gave up on it though, that thread is somewhere on the forum. I thought I saw something similar on Manjaro or one of those Distros on YouTube.

I'd be much more impressed if this was on GitHub, GitLab, SourceForge or wherever so it could get a lot of love... FOSS and all... for now I guess we just wait with bated breath. This would be super cool with MXFBs Tint2 stuff for sure.

wallpapers do not change in mxtweak tool , only icons and themes but not wallpapers. 9_9 the do that you need scripts for the monitors to handle that wallpaper loading for that theme and wallpapers that wil not happen
