A couple things to clarify:
The program above is an empty template. It won't do anything at all (except produce error dialogs) until you:
1) Install one or more custom-graphics mansions and all associated data files inside the application bundle, and
2) Configure it with the filename(s) of the mansion(s) you've installed.
The included readme provides detailed instructions on how to do this. Once you do these two things, the program will install the mansion and its data files for you whenever you want to play, and then restore the game to its default state when you are done. It's quite convenient.
Ideally, developers of custom graphics mansions would ship their mansions and data files all wrapped up in a configured copy of Decorum, so their users never have to worry about it. At least, that was my intent when I wrote it, and so I've designed it with that in mind. One step at a time...
