Where does Big Box store the themes it's using for each platform?

[vaderag]

I currently have a different themes for a few different platforms, and my main platform wheels etc and I'd like to back up these options before trying out a new theme across everything - so I can easily revert

Where is this information stored?

Thanks!

In each theme’s folder you should see an overrides xaml. I do not remember the exact name. Might be BogBoxOverrides.xaml or similar or one of the xaml files in the \Data folder. Not sure If I remember correctly if that houses the specific settings you mention.

Thanks @Retro808 but that's not quite what I'm looking for

If I look at BigBoxSettingsOverrides for say RetroMags (which I use for my Favorites) it just has

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<LaunchBox>
  <BigBoxSettings>
    <GamesListView>TextListWithDetails</GamesListView>
    <PlatformsListView>TextListWithDetails</PlatformsListView>
  </BigBoxSettings>
</LaunchBox>

This seems to be storing the choice of what view I'm using it with, but not what I'm actually using it for

Somewhere there must be a file which shows Favoites uses RetroMags, Platforms uses StationEmulation etc?

I believe this is the file you are looking for:  LaunchBox\Data\Platforms.xml

Yup, that seems to be the one for Platforms - looks like i need to backup the whole playlist directory as well if I've changed theme on those
