actually it's quite easy to bring back the wrench and the qwerty
buttons in asu theme.  it's not the real issue though.

wrench:  it's a gadget to put on the illume 'shelf'.  so just add it
back into the config then it will show up.  something like this
(haven't tested):

qwerty:  enable it in the theme.

the real problem is, after you click on the wrench, it will show the
config menu, but click on any one of them will give you black screen.
probably black fonts on black background.  I hope someone can find out
what went wrong because I don't have time to work on it.
