Hello @babazen @iKuba !

I faced the same issue recently: I created a new collection from the muOS UI, and was displayed an empty purple square as grid icon for this collection. The logic applied by the system to display Collections grid icons is explained in the MustardOS Themes Assets documentation.

Normally, in the catalogue, you should have one directory named Collection, next to the Folder and <Systems> directories. On my side, it is structured like this:

SD2
└─ MUOS
    └── info
        └── catalogue
            ├── <System>
            │    ├── box
            │    │   └── romname.png
            │    ├── preview
            │    │   └── romname.png
            │    ├── splash
            │    │   └── romname.png
            │    └── text
            │        └── romname.txt
			├── Collection
            │    ├── box
            │    │   └── collection-name.png
			│    ├── grid
            │    │   └── collection-name.png
            │    ├── preview
            │    │   └── collection-name.png
            │    ├── splash
            │    │   └── collection-name.png
            │    └── text
            │        └── collection-name.txt
            └── Folder
                 ├── box
                 │   └── foldername.png
			     ├── grid
                 │   └── foldername.png
                 ├── preview
                 │   └── foldername.png
			     ├── splash
                 │   └── foldername.png
                 └── text
                     └── foldername.txt

In order to spare time, I reused the existing Arcade system icon: I copied it from MUOS/info/catalogue/Folder/grid/Arcade.png to MUOS/info/catalogue/Collection/grid/Favoris.png. And now, instead of the empty purple square, the icon displayed for my Favoris collection is the Arcade system one.

Hope this helped !

P.S: Very nice looking theme !

while waiting for solution had installed OneTwo, and absolutely enjoy it, BMO variant is great!

Glad you like OneTwo ! Bulat made an amazing job with their theme.

Also if they look similar it’s because it’s a continuation of the previous version of Aurora (when it was called Rezolution).

I love your aurora thanks, it’s awesome, and I’m a graphic designer, love it. But I also love the console icons of one-two theme. Do you think it’s possible to have a way to choose thoses icon in aurora, as an option? (or is there a hacky way to do that?) Thanks for your theme, it’s wonderfull.

147

If I remember correctly, there’s a way to load up the grid arts from another theme if they’re packaged in a certain way. You may ask @bulkh for an assets.muxzip.

148

Also, quick heads up, the update towards Goose might be the last time I work on Aurora, as I’m switching to an Android based device.

If someone wants to manage the theme, please shoot me a DM.

H! If it’s not a secret, what kind of Android device do you have?

150

I’ll get a Retroid Pocket Classic… For now it just looks (and sounds - might need to do a tape mod) like a RG40XX V without a useless stick and with Android. But I gotta try it

Will this theme be updated for Goose?

@oiimrosabel hi! Any news about Goose compatibility for your theme?

153

it’s on the theme website and available through the theme downloader on the device

154

It works, but I noticed when using it on Goose, it doesn’t have the alternate theme color options like it does on Pixie.

155

upgrade to Canada Goose

156

Hmmm, that’s what I’m on. There’s no alternate them option under customisation.

157

if you are on the latest already then you’re on an older version of the theme. re-download it

158

Weird, so I’m using Canada Goose with the latest version of this theme on my 34sp, but there still is no aleternate theme option. However, I’m using the latest version of Pixie with the lastest theme version on my 40h, and the option is there.

159

the file extension for the alternates changed in Canada Goose. so either you’re not on the latest canada goose or you’re not on the latest theme. One of the two

160

if you browse to /muos/theme/active/alternate/ and the files in there have a .muxzip extension instead of .muxalt you’re on an older version of the theme.

if you got to Info -> System Details and it doesn’t say 2508.1 CANADA GOOSE you’re not on the latest muOS

161

Just checked and I’m on the lastest MuOS for sure. Regarding the theme version, I did re-download the theme, went into the theme alternate folder and the files are indeed muxzip extensions.

162

we obviously don’t update the author’s github page. download it from the muOS website or using the theme downloader on the device.
