Why put in in stash? Saurik says / Library / Themes: iPhone Theming on WinterBoard - Jay Freeman (saurik)

It doesnt matter...it is the same folder

On FW 2.2.1 the following three directories point to the same physical location:

/private/var/stash/Themes.pTDOse is the true location ......
/Library/Themes is symbolic linked to /private/var/stash/Themes.pTDOse
/var/stash/Themes.pTDOse is symbolic linked to /private/var/stash/Themes.pTDOse
