GDMenu/OpenMenu HD Theme Manager (All-In-One Package) 1.19a

Update (08/10/2024)

• Added the ability for you to add -offline to the 'GDMenu HD Theme Manager' filename, for example 'GDMenu HD Theme Manager -offline.exe' to bypass the updater and go straight to the theme manager if you wanted, or if you are having issues launching it on linux because of the updater.
• Made sure all the current OpenMenu themes and ini files are included (all themes upto today's date) as well as having 10 custom OpenMenu themes already pre-setup for you just like i've done with the GDMenu style themes for OpenMenu, Now when you boot up 'GDMenu Card Manager' and add OpenMenu to your sd card it will automatically add all these themes i've setup or you can change them to alternatives beforehand if you want.

Update (26/09/2024)

• Changed the PVR color format in both apps from ARGB1555 to RGB565 as per recommendation from derek (ateam) which should result in a nicer looking theme image.
• Fixed an issue where trying to overwrite a theme could result in it not creating the pvr's in 'Easy OpenMenu Theme Creator'.
• Fixed an issue where if you exit out of the 'Current Themes' window in 'Easy OpenMenu Theme Creator' without applying a theme it resulted in the main themes list being messed up until you reload the app.

Update (05/09/2024)

• Fixed a slight issue with 'GDMenu Theme Preview Generator' that caused the disc section to be slightly off.
• Added my new app 'Easy OpenMenu Theme Creator'. (slightly altered for better integration)

The Easy OpenMenu Theme Creator app is specifically for making OpenMenu themes and not GDMenu style themes.
When the app has finished making the OpenMenu theme it will automatically be copied to the SD Card Managers/GDMENU Card Manager/tools/openMenu/menu_data/theme/ folder, Just ensure that is correct before getting GDMENU Card Manager to rebuild OpenMenu.

Update (16/06/2024)

• Fixed the theme manager updater as it wasn't correctly downloading new themes.
• Updated the theme preview generator app to get custom font colors working again.

Update (11/06/2024)

• Removed a test color preset that isn't needed and made a tweak to the update link url.

Update (11/06/2024)

• This is a complete remake from scratch to simplify and speed up the process and remove a load of code which isn't needed anymore and options that didn't get used, Outside of the initial startup which checks for new themes and the app itself checking if there is a new version, This app fully works offline.
• I have also cleaned up the folder structure a lot and made it very simple to add your own custom themes, Just place them in 'Assets/Custom' and they will show up at the top of the list.
• For those who want to customize more of the options, I will leave v1.16 available.

Update (28/05/2024)

• Fixed an issue where the timing was off and it didn't copy the new 1ST_READ.BIN file to where it needed to go
• Added an offline mode so the theme manager can be used without internet access, This mode can be activated manually via the button but if my app can't get the online info at startup it will default to the offline mode
• I've also hidden away some of the options in Advanced to make it less confusing, These can be added back by creating a blank file with no extension in the root directory called advanced
• I've also changed up the text for importing your own custom theme and/or font so it's a bit more obvious
