Theme's only part working

[John@TunerUK]

Hi all
Whenever I change a theme, the only thing that actually changes is the UI background. All symbols remain the same, and highlight bars remain the standard colours, and also in their standard position.
Is there another file I should be swapping too? I would have thought that simply choosing a different theme in the setup would alter everything required

What STV are you using, and what theme?

In the stock STV, choosing the theme from the setup menu is all you need to do, assuming the theme has been installed properly on your system.

I am indeed using the standard STV, and the theme's are installed into the following folder:

C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV3\Themes\"Theme folder here"\"Theme images and property file here"

See anything obviously wrong?

[GKusnick]

Looks right so far. But again, what themes are you using? I'm not trying to be nosy, but as far as I can see there are just two themes available for the stock UI, and one of them is mine, so if it's broken I'd like to know about it.

Note that themes designed for SageMC probably won't work with the stock UI.

That's possibly the problem then. The theme's are 'liquid black' and 'BlueTwo Dark Metal'

I' be happy if I could use the current UI, but simply swap the blue highlight bars and backgrounds for a light grey. Is there an image file I can swap in the standard setup to do this?

those themes are SageMC themes. They won't work for the stock UI.

Are you using the SageMC UI, or the stock UI?

YOu can modify the themes for the stock UI yourself. Make a copy of the Standard SD/HD theme, which ever one fits your screen better, and name it something else, like John's Theme. Then, in that theme, you can modify the different image files to give you the colors you want.

That's excellent. I'll give that a go and see what I can come up with
