I messed up the theme of my Overo Fire

I changed the theme of my overo Fire from illumi background to the Angstrom, and now the unit is basicly useless. Does anyone know how to adjust this from consol? I know with linux It is a setting in a file somewhere but I don't know what file. I'm assuming it is in /etc but I know that is the limmit of my knowage.

I found that there is stuff under /usr/share/theme/ that may be a part of the background configuration. I also looked and found that one can rebuild a image from the git reposatory, but is there a pre-build image of the factory avaiable some where? Was anyone wise enough to pull a image of the NAND before messing it up? If so would you like to provide a link to it?
This seems like a real issue, I was using the Illum theme and chose the Angstrom background and now I have a all white area that I can only create a new folder in and a small area at the bottom that has no reaction to mouse clicks or otherwise. I'll most likly be useing a OS on the SD but I like to have a usable OS on the NAND too. Thanks if anyone has any information.

I still haven't solved this, It is low on my list as I can easily boot from a SD instead but I'm hoping someone has a answer for me. Basically the Theme background in the stock angstrom OS is wrong and it will not display correctly any more.  I can re-flash the NAND but from the descriptions nether image is the stock one. The stock one has both Desktop and Palmtop as well as a few others. The ones listed on site are either the Desktop or the Palmtop. I'd rather just go in through kermit and set the background back to the right one. If anyone knows where this setting is stored That would be great.
