Retro808 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 You can get other themes from the downloads section of the forum. Install them into the \Launchbox\Themes folder. Did you accidentally change the view in the theme you are using? Each theme (including the default) have different view styles. Check your BigBox settings and see what key/button you have mapped to switch the theme view and use that to try different views. Without knowing what you had it set to before it is hard to be more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think I'm correct in saying the Default theme will reset any image changes you made as once it installs a new release the default images get put back to there original files.... What you need to do before manually changing images is to make a copy of the Default theme and change the folder name to what ever you wish (you can only change the default theme folder name, never a download one) and then the changes you make in there will stay after every update.

Go to your Launchbox/Data folder and delete the BigBoxsettings.xml while Bigbox and Launchbox are closed, that will revert Bigbox to default settings and a new settings.xml will be created when you launch Bigbox.

MrB Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 ok, thanks. is there a easy to download and install themes for bigbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 All themes are installed the same way, unzip and drop into Launchbox/Themes folder. Then in Bigbox just go to options/views/Theme and cycle through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just make sure when you download a theme before you unzip it, right click on the zipped file and go to properties. If you see a check box for "unblock" make sure you click it. Some themes have certain files that need to be unblocked or the theme will not work correctly.
