Dreamwarrior77 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hi I have been using Launchbox for a while now and have not been able to switch to any of the themes in BigBox for some reason. It's a real bummer can anyone help me fix this problem? Maybe a bug or configuration problem? It has been broken for a whole bunch of versions and I am on the most current version now which is 7.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamwarrior77 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 No but I tried to use the one that comes with it besides the default theme but it does not work. I will try to unzip a new theme and see if that jogs it to start working correctly.. by default it will not use the one that comes with it though..

neil9000 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 How are you trying to use it? All you need to do is go to options/views highlight the one that says default and hit enter or A on the gamepad to switch to the other theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamwarrior77 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 No luck, I tried unzipping and selecting RetrAO_Cafe_v1.6.1 but it will not switch themes. Am I missing something maybe in the options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamwarrior77 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 I would hate to have to reinstall my whole setup again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 OK, calm down you will not have to reinstall your whole setup. Your setup works right? no issues there, and the fact that bigbox works at all means that themes are working. So its a different issue.

Right your theme name should not look like that at all, I'm going to attach 2 pics to demonstrate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Have you made sure that the theme you unzipped itself was not inside the folder you unzipped, if it is you need to take it out of that folder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 HOHO @neil9000 Both answered together LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamwarrior77 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) ok Cool, Got it, it works now, the name was wrong, it was inside of another folder when I unzipped it I had to copy the folder and it worked fine. Thank You! Edited April 14, 2017 by Dreamwarrior77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Sometime themes come in a folder inside a folder you unzip as the creator might have placed a read me or fonts etc in there for you to install. Always read the installation read me where you download the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
