Customizing masthead in theme editor

Question

Hi,
  I made some changes to masthead in theme editor and saved it with new name. But I am not sure now how to swap the new masthead in the default framework page. First thing is where can I find the new masthead I changed and saved. Is it saved as Iview or par file. if so which folder is it saved? Second thing how can i modify the framework page with the masthead changed in theme editor?
Thanks

Hi,
   Before defining themes the Default Framework Page has to be defined.Copy the default framework page in the Portal Catalog located under Portal Users->Standard Portal Users. Paste into the folder Admin Content->Systems->Portal Desktop.Edit object to open the new default framework page. Rename the page for future reference. On the left side will be a property editor. Make sure that “frameworkpage” is the display object ID. Then scroll to “Page Name” in the Property List.
Click Save. New name will automatically appear in the Portal Catalog.
The next part of the desktop is the theme that will be applied to the default framework page. To create new themes, choose System Administration > Portal Display > Theme Editor.
Then a new Portal Desktop has to be defined.Choose System Administration -> Portal Display -> Desktops &
Display Rules. Go to Portal Content->Portal Destop.Right Click new Portal Desktop.Save it. Add the framework page to this desktop(Right click u'll get this option). Then add the theme that you would like to have available to the role that will be assigned this portal desktop(Right click the theme u have created->Add theme to portal desktop).Set as default both a frameworkpage and a theme and save the portal desktop. 
Finally, the portal desktop needs to be applied to a role, group, user, element or multiple combinations. This is done by creating rules in the “main_rules.” Edit the object main_rules (Master Rule Collection) by choosing in the Portal Catalog: Content Administration-> Portal Content -> Portal Administrators -> Super Administrators -> main_rules.  If there are no rules that apply to a user, then no users will be able to access the portal.Add the IF Expression.Select the IF Condition that will be in effect. 
Example:
User = i803466 (the ID of the user)
Role = pcd:(location of role definition)
Group = Customers (group name)
Bandwidth:
Browsertype:
Next with the flashing curser in the expression input box, right click on the role that will be part of the
expression. Add role to expression.
The add the desktop to the expression. Save the rules.
