This is wonderfull. Honestly ! the best theme I've seen in years!! 

Nice to see you are working hard on it! But I have a problem with the last update, the menu is supose to be to the color of the platform but for me it's always green for all of them. Should I do something more?

Thanks for all your work ^^

Hum, strange !

Your LaunchBox is up to date ?

Did you used custom personal platform name? Or stock ?

Hi Viking! Just wanted to report that there's a bug in the text view when you invoke the alphabetical list, it shows up behind all the games list. This was tested on a 4K 175% DPI screen. This was on the latest version only. Hope you can fix it! Thanks!

Hi Viking, I use Launchbox 10.7 and no I don't renamed any platform.

The only particularity in my setup is that Launchbox is fully installed on a SSD but my game folders is on a separate HDD. Can it be the reason of my bug?

I try to reinstall and repair the theme several times too.

@alfredolvera : Yes : bug found and fix. Online in next release ?

@Mumut : Strange ... Try to go in your "LaunchBox/Themes/Colorful/Plugins" folder. Right clic on "Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll" and check if this plugin was lock. Is it's lock, just unlock it.

I'm not sure how to do it, after the right clic I go to properties? then in the security section I'd give the full control for every user but it doesn't change anything. The file is not hidden or "read only".

If the problem comes from there, it should be visible. Here is an example in French, but easy to understand :

If not, you downloaded it from which sources?
- forum page?
- BigBox theme manager?

Are you sure you took the latest version? (there are both on the forum download page)
Does your option page have the new "dark gray" design?

I'm French as well so yes it's very easy to understand for me ?

but I don't have any unlock button under "read only" and "hidden".

I download the theme with the manager in bigbox. it says that the 0.5 version.

I'll try directly from here and I come back to you.

Ahah OK.
If you don't have the "unlock" option, it means that it is already well unlocked.

Strange your problem. Perhaps an error in the version validated on the theme manager ...
Yes, please try the forum version !

So I'm back, but nothing change for me. I delete the version provided by bigbox to install the 0.5 forum version but everything is still green ^^

and by the way, you asked earlier but yes the option page is dark grey.

 

Sorry to bother you viking

You don't bother me! It's a very strange problem, because you seem to be the only one affected.

For the color, I used a plugin function developed by @eatkinola .
It uses the file in "Colorful\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig"

• Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config : To normalize different platform names. Make sure that the platform names you use are noted here.
• Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config : Based on the standardized name, gives a hex color code. I filled it according to my videos.

Are these two files present? They look like this:

<!-- PLATFORMS -->
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_ARCHIMEDES" value="Acorn_Archimedes|Archimedes" />
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_BBC_MICRO" value="Acorn_BBC_Micro|Acorn_BBC|BBC_Micro" />
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_ELECTRON" value="Acorn_Electron|Electron" />
        <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_CPC" value="Amstrad_CPC" />
        <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_GX4000" value="Amstrad_GX4000" />

and

<!-- PLATFORMS -->
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_ARCHIMEDES" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_BBC_MICRO" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.ACORN_ELECTRON" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_CPC" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_GX4000" value="#dd4b3c" />
        <add key="Platform.APPLE_II" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.APPLE_II_GS" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.APPLE_MACINTOSH" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.ARCADE" value="#5f60ba" />
        <add key="Platform.ATARI_800" value="" />
        <add key="Platform.ATARI_2600" value="#b92e35" />
        <add key="Platform.ATARI_5200" value="#40599c" />
        <add key="Platform.ATARI_7800" value="#2f7bc7" />

 

I look very closely the files you mentionned and they look exactly like yours... They seems fine to me.

I have two more files in this folder with the prefix "SAVE_" I guess it's normal but I'm lost with this problem ^^

That's my curse I guess lol

Yes, I placed the 2 "SAVE" files, in case someone goes to modify these files, they will always have the stock version on hand.

Honestly, I have no idea!
Do you have the latest .NET framework version up to date?
Windows 10 up to date?
You haven't francized the names of the platforms?
EVERYTHING is green? Or just someone?

My computer is up to date, I just verified in case.

Nope I didn't change platforms' names as you can see, just few details like the numbers of controllers for exemple.

Every platforms is green, like it was at the previous version.

Awesome looking theme! Would love to see a dark version!

Seconding a dark version! Love this theme but the white, it burns!

Truly beautiful theme and with all the work on the videos you're an absolute beast!

Dark Version online ! ?

I love you @viking ! You big sexy bearded warrior!

Big thanks for the Dark Mode @viking !

And you will be glad to know, that my issue of colors we talked about in december, solved itself with the 10.8 update of launchbox!

I don't know why though.

Good news ! I had no idea how to fix this bug! ?
