So I reverted to the tried and tested method of renaming the the icons and placing them in the Image folder that works every time. Maybe I am suffering a bout of brain freeze but it just won't work for me. there are two of us then , but I would like to understand where and why it doesn't go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miliuco Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 @antuneddu Strange!!! Do you think image folder in lower case can be the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) @antuneddu On the screenshot, we can see that Opencore.efi was installed on May 14th (maybe Opencanopy, drivers and tools, also). However, the change of path has existed since the commit of May 15. You will have to build the new version, I think.

Anto65 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 However, overcome some initial difficulties, it is convenient to have all the themes in the image folder (hoping that the 200mb of the EFI will suffice ), without overwriting every time you change the theme , just need to change the Picker variant, we are getting closer to what I was hoping for ie the "Random Theme" option thanks to the OC developers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Ok - I am not absolutely sure but it looks like in a ham-fisted fashion I overcame the difficulties I was having to install various Icon folders. All I did was make and labeled a new folder 'Blackosx' and dump all the Icons in the created folder, then placed it in the image folder and it worked. Please don't tell me I've done it all wrong I don't want to go through the constant reboots to see the results because I gave up a few times and it was only sheer bloody minded persistence that saw it through.

What you have done (and it works) is to put the icons directly into the folder with the name of the creator (Blackosx) and keep the theme's prefix (BsxImacPink_) in the name of the icons. What OpenCore proposes (I'm sure you've already read it) is to create a BsxImacPink_ folder inside the Blackosx folder and put the icons WITHOUT PREFIX inside BsxImacPink_. Thus, with the current value of PickerVariant = Blackosx\BsxImacPink_ the chosen theme would be BsxImacPink_.

eSaF Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 @miliuco Thanks Bro - Didn't blackosx say his future Icons will come without prefixes or am I mistaken? That's another bridge we will have to cross but shouldn't be too taxing to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorenoAv Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The only way that I was able to make it work is copy all the icons and past it in the OC >resources>image and rename the picker variant to the name of the folder and it works with the Blackosx themes...

eSaF Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 @MorenoAv - As I said previously I didn't change the prefixes on the Icons, just made a Folder and named it Blackosx and dumped all the Icons in it then paste the folder along side OC's Acidanthera folder in Image. Also in config.plist PickerVariant, I made this entry Blackosx\BsxImacPink_ and it worked. Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
