hi, im using the theme  COLORFUL - Dark by viking. if you watch the video you will see that when you enter psp the background is blue, like the background for the intro video and if you select snes the background is red for both the snes theme and game selection menu. but when i select tiger electronics the background shows as black when its supposed to be green. how do i correct this? its not game breaking just more annoying than anything. the theme and launchbox are both up to date and i have a valid license to run launchbox. thanks

Green is the default colour for platforms that have not been setup in the theme yet, or the name of the platform is not the same as in the Community theme creator config, in the game list view this is also the default colours for non recognised platforms.

You would have to get the Colorful 4k CTC theme files and edit the theme yourself to add any missing platform you need and and link them with a specific colour. The files can be downloaded in the main Colorful 4k page in this forum.

Looks like the development of this theme is stopped, I had heard that @faeran was working on a new version a while back.

If you are using Viking's original version of the theme and want to keep using it you can edit a style file and add the missing platform name in there and the color code to match the green or you can add a color code you want to use for the platform. 

Go to the theme's folder in Windows and look for the \Views\Styles folder. In that folder edit the COLORFUL_Styles.xaml file in Notepad or NotePad++. Under the "Platforms" section go to the end of that list and add a new line. Just copy and paste one of the other lines then change the platform name to exactly match how you named the platform in LB. Then change the color code to one that matches the green or one you want to use. I believe the default green is code 5abc3c.

So it should look something like this.

Save the file and you should be good to go. 

I recommend just updating to the more current Colorful CTC version.
