Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config

[COLORFUL bigbox theme]

Huge thanks to @Jason Carr and @faeran . On my side I try to update the old plugin, but it’s hard. And also thanks to @viking for his hard work on colorful theme.

[COLORFUL bigbox theme]

Hi @DebugFlo. This should only be an issue if you are on the most recent beta. The theme should work fine on the latest official version of LaunchBox (currently 11.12). If you are more worried about the Colorful theme than testing the new beta features, you can always revert back to the official release by going into your LaunchBox\Updates folder and running the 11.12 installer overtop your LaunchBox files.

Unfortunately, the themer plugin that Colorful uses for some of its features is no longer being worked on by the author anymore.

There are ways to accomplish what the themer plugin does for Colorful, but the theme would have to go through some major migration efforst to achieve them.

It's not a problem for me to do these migrations, as long as i know how to do them. I looked at the documentation, but I don't have the impression that there is a way to do conditional in the views but i may have look wrong.

 

[COLORFUL bigbox theme]

Hello,

I'm trying to know why the custom color per platform were not working for me. Does anyone for whom custom colors work have the lastest version of Launchbox. Because for me i got this error int the "Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll" logs :

2021-07-19 16:41:36 [Ao.Bigbox.Utils.Fu.EmbeddedAssembler] loading external LB dll: <path to launchbox>\LaunchBox\Core\Metadata\Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.dll

And in LaunchBox logs :

I think the DLL Ao.Bigbox.Themer is not compatible with the newest version of launchbox/bigbox and wont load correctly because the Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows DLL can't be found in the /Core/Metadata folder (does not exist anymore) and now is in the /Core folder.

Is there a plugin that can do the same as the Ao.Bigbox.Themer in replacement ?
