HELP! Options Menu in Launchbox Not Working

[EddieArkadian]

Dear Admins,

     I made a mistake. I was trying to install a custom theme for Launchbox by placing folders in the right places. Now when I click on Tools>Options, this screen opens instead of the Options menu.  Does anyone have ideas as to what has happened? Thanks for your help.

With LaunchBox closed navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and open it in a text editor. There should be something that says "<Theme>...</Theme>" (without quotes). Change the value between those tags to "Default" (without quotes) and then save and close the file and reopen LB. Looks like you put a BB theme in the LBTheme folder and it's causing issues. LB Themes go in LBThemes folder and BB themes go in the Themes folder.

Glad you were able to get it sorted out. Thankfully most of the current LB themes are in Theme Manager which you can use to download and apply LB themes to potentially avoid some of this (if you meant to apply a LB theme that is). I'd recommend trying Omni, I hear who ever made that one really smashed it out the park
