How to restore the template from the backup files

[morrisr]

- I installed a fresh a copy of 1.2.9
- I restored the database & system\config.php to access it
- I restored the folders (extensions,image & resources)
- I wonder which files I should restore from the 1.2.8 to claim the look and functionality of the old template without missing with the new 1.2.9 setup
- I do not see the menu and Paypal is not registered

Trials:
- I tried the the extension developer tool before and did not find answers to the options needed
- I did not find no guide for the extensions developer tool


I am okay with creating a template as extension, but how?

Thanks

Here is the template developer guide:
http://docs.abantecart.com/pages/developer/template_customization_or_development_guide.html

About restore. If you try to restore your older template from 1.2.8 into 1.2.9, there is no guide for this. This will be manual process of comparing files between older template (storefront/view/..) and new one.
