Either your techie didn't transfer the defaultv6.dax file (it's usually at \Program Files\OrangeCD\Templates) or he/she did and then when you reinstalled OCD the installation program overwrote your dax file with the default defaultv6.dax. This is one of the problems to watch for when upgrading OCD (but as it has been almost a year since there has been an upgrade, this might now be a moot issue). One way to protect against it is to make a copy of devaultv6.dax in the Templates folder and rename the copy. Then select this renamed file as your theme (View -> Preferences -> Theme -> Theme pulldown menu). Any tweaks you make will then be stored in your renamed dax. If there is an upgrade then installing the new version will certainly overwrite the old defaultv6.dax, but you no longer care that it does as you will have your renamed file. But you will have to reselect your dax theme under View -> Preferences as the installation sets the Theme to the default.
