Themes not working

MuOS: 2502.0 PIXIE
Device: RG40XX-H
Steps to repeat:

  1. Download theme from MustardOS Themes.
  2. Make sure that theme is compatible with Pixie.
  3. Copy *.muxthm file to MUOS/theme.
  4. Try to change theme by selecting Config/Customisation/Theme picker.

Issue:
Empty folder, 0 themes to pickup, even defaults.

First of all - please restore your themes through Applications -> Task Toolkit -> Restore Themes

Second - you need to verify with the theme maker/website/github/wherever that it is also compatible with your resolution/device if you have not done that already. The themes page you linked does a good job of separating them with a bar at the top. NOTE: Themes did have to get updated for Pixie and that’s in the hands of the theme developers & maintainers. Some may not work on a whim when this requirement applies.

If you have done the second bit already, skip that step; but heed the advice for the time being.

Third - You need to put the .muxthm file into /mnt/mmc/ARCHIVE then install it from the Archive Manager in Applications. Once that’s done, you go to Configuration -> Customization -> Theme Picker and select the new one there. It should work after.
