For Captivate version 9, I need to know the location of these on both Windows and on Ma.

If you know any of these locations please let me know.

    Jay,

    The definitions for Workspaces are part of the Preferences and get wiped out if you reset the Preferences folder.

    Themes are initially stored in the Captivate install directory > Gallery > Themes folder but are then copied to the Public User profile: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts\9_0\en_us (or whatever language you are on)

    There's a ThemeColors folder in that same location.

    May I ask what you are trying to achieve by knowing these locations?

    It's good to know the locations when you want to share them with other people, or if you want to add your own items. For example, if you want to add your own characters, it's important to know where to put them.

    I'm not sure that you CAN add your own characters.  Last time I checked there was something special about those PNG files and the way Captivate related to them. Just dumping more PNGs into the same folder doesn't guarantee they will appear in the dialog and work.
