Why don't my themes work anymore with 2.6?

When upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0 of EdgeTX, my themes stopped working! How do I get them back?

With EdgeTX 2.6.0, the theme structure was changed to simplify management of themes in the long run. If you downloaded a theme from the EdgeTX themes directory / repo, you can simply download it again in the 2.6 compatible format. If it is a custom theme you made yourself, you'll need to do a little bit of renaming to make things work again.

Basically, with 2.5.0, a theme looked like this when you looked in the THEMES directory on your SD card:

There was the logo, the theme configuration file, custom wallpapers for the two different colorlcd screen orientations, and a set of preview images. Not all the files are required - a theme will work just fine with just the .yml configuration file, but you won't get the nice logo or preview screenshots when looking at it on the transmitter.

Now, in 2.6.0, when you look in the themes directory, you will instead see a folder for each theme:

And inside that folder, every single theme is structured the same way:

So, using the RL_BurgundyRed theme shown above as the example, to make your 2.5 theme work with 2.6, all you need to do is create a new folder called RL_BurgundyRed, move the RL_BurgundyRed.yml into that folder, and rename it theme.yml to make the theme work at a minimal level. If you want to convert the entire theme, then you need to also move and rename the other files (where they exist) as follows:

RL_BurgundyRed.png            => RL_BurgundyRed\logo.png
RL_BurgundyRed.yml            => RL_BurgundyRed\theme.yml
RL_BurgundyRed1.png           => RL_BurgundyRed\screenshot1.png
RL_BurgundyRed2.png           => RL_BurgundyRed\screenshot2.png
RL_BurgundyRed3.png           => RL_BurgundyRed\screenshot3.png
RL_BurgundyRed_bg_320x480.png => RL_BurgundyRed\background_320x480.png
RL_BurgundyRed_bg_480x272.png => RL_BurgundyRed\background_480x272.png
