That information is maintained by the BB itself from what I've seen. Once you change icon placement for a theme, even if you go to another theme and then come back, the icon placement will be retained as you last tweaked it.
I would guess that that info is stored somewhere in Internal memory on the bb.
Frankly, there is a lot of "stuff" stored that I would like to know where the BB retains it, too. Like where are all the data for Quicklaunch and Shortcutme maintained. Same for twitter clients. I gather that this is part of the security of the device - keeping this stuff secret.
your obviously not making your self very clear. With 48 views, and 8 replies, and none of the replies are helping....i don't think "we" are the problem on this one.
All files on the blackberry have names.
One (or more) of these files stores the information on icon placement for each theme.
What is the name of this file(s)?

Is that clear enough?
I am not sure what you don't understand.
here are the names of some of the themes
net_rim_theme_precision_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_att_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_telefonica_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_tim_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_tmobile_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_tmobileeu_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
net_rim_theme_orange_zen_480x360_b_03.cod
Some other phone have other names depending on your carrier.... Those are for the 9700 using the 5.0.0.442 Operating System...
once again there is no way to "hide" themes or their exact layout....
1: On your computer go to " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files " then click on your OS that you are using
2: then click on Java
3: Find the theme file you want to look at
4: right click
5: open as
6: use Note Pad
IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE BY DOING THIS I HOLD NO ACCOUNTABILITY AS YOU ARE DOING IT TO YOUR PHONE ON YOUR OWN FREE WILL
and you cannot access the information from within the phone.. you have to use a PC (not a mac).

This information is stored in the "Theme Settings" database on your BlackBerry. It is backed up with all other databases during a full backup using BlackBerry Desktop Manager. You may also selectively back up just that database if you wish.
I believe the original poster is asking where the device stores the information for theme XYZ so that if you change to theme ABC and then back to XYZ, the icon placement is left intact. If this is the case, I myself have not found this, but it definitely is stored somewhere when you backup your device through Desktop Manager because my icon placement is left intact when I wipe out my device and restore everything from the backup file.
EDIT: dustin.zack beat me to it with exactly what the OP was looking for! Actually that was nice info for me as well, just never bothered to examine.
