Baffled -- Need Serious Help

I have a 60gb ipod (gen 5.5).  I installed the latest version of Rockbox this afternoon and had everything up and running.  However, I somehow screwed up the default theme I want to use (iCatcher) by messing around with colors and other options.  Now I cannot restore the original theme.  My ipod boots up with the modified version no matter what I do.  I have read the manual, done countless reboots and resets, deleted the config.cfg file out of my rockbox directory, and even uninstalled and reinstalled everything (bootloader and latest rockbox version).  After all of this, I still have the same modified theme on my ipod and cannot select the original default.  What am I doing wrong?  Please help!!!

MarcGuay:
Try clearing your settings (there's a button you hold on start-up to do this, not sure what it is for your player, search the manual), and reselecting iCatcher from the Browse Themes menu.  If that doesn't work then I'm baffled, too...  Did you modify the .wps file or just mess around with the settings while Rockbox was running?

cgm55082:
I did try the reset several times and while that reset all the other defaults, by screen theme didn't change.  I might have inadvertantly messed with a .wps file, but I unistalled everything and then reinstalled -- and I still have the same problem.  

I don't know what to do.

Chronon:
Reinstall the affected theme.  It's not clear to me that you did this.  If you save theme settings then the .cfg file for the theme you're using will be modified.  You will need to restore an unmodified theme to your player to get things back to "normal".  Clearing your settings does nothing to the .cfg files in your themes folder.

When you re-install Rockbox doesn't it overwrite the included themes?
