GDMenu & OpenMenu HD Theme Manager (All-In-One Package) v1.31b

Update (21/01/2026)

• Created my own PVRTool.dll file to replace the old method of converting the png theme to the correct two pvr files so now the process should be much faster, more reliable and work with anyone's setup and should hopefully mean you don't have to run it as admin anymore, It is very important you don't delete the PVRTool.dll file.
• Added the update notes directly into the GDMenu & OpenMenu HD Theme Manager, The button is in the bottom left, I have also moved the Recommended Game ID's button to the bottom left.

Update (20/01/2026)

• Added custom theme ini support for online Folders style themes as well as offline custom Folders style themes.
• Updated Some of the online themes and preview images as well as added a few more themes.

To manually use a custom theme ini file if you're making your own theme, just place it in:
'Assets\Folders\INI\' and name the ini file: 'EXACT THEME NAME.ini'
To ensure the ini file is read correctly by my app everytime, Please keep the layout and order like this:
[THEME]
name=
text_color=
highlight_color=
cursor_color=
multidisc_color=
menu_title_color=
menu_text_color=
menu_highlight_color=
menu_bkg_color=
menu_bkg_border_color=
list_x=
list_y=
artwork_x=
artwork_y=
artwork_size=
list_count=
list_marquee_threshold=
item_details_x=
item_details_y=
item_details_text_color=
clock_x=
clock_y=
clock_text_color=

You can stop after list_marquee_threshold if you don't need the others.

Update (19/01/2026)

• Updated covers file for OpenMenu.
• Updated 'Recommended Game ID's' quite a bit.
• Added new themes.
• Fixed my 'Modern Sleek - Blue' theme.
• Fixed 'Default' theme misalignment.

Update (18/01/2026)

• Fixed theme elements being misaligned.
• Updated theme preview generator to better create a Folders style preview that matches what the console shows.

Once updated please also use this to update your OpenMenu.

Update (17/01/2026)

• Updated the Custom themes option.
• Fixed the themes downloader in v1.30b so it once again downloads the conf files as well as missing themes all in one go.

Now when you want to add your own Custom theme to test, Simply take your main THEMENAME.png and your preview THEMENAME.jpg and give them a suffix to dictate how my theme manager treats them
for example if you add ONE of the following:
_Standard
_HD
_OpenMenu
_Folders
to the end of the names just before .png or .jpg, My theme manager will treat it as such, For example if you add _Folders then my theme manager will treat it as a Folders style theme, Just make sure they're in Assets\Custom and Assets\Custom\Previews.
I've also added the ability to change the name used in the theme ini file from the OpenMenu themes
menu under the preview image just change it before applying the theme, Be aware the preview image shown is based off that name, So if the name is different to the preview image, Then the preview image won't show up but it won't effect anything else except the preview image not showing on the OpenMenu themes menu in my app.
