GF Toolbar

[BTT]

Hello All

After spending a lot of time viewing GF Platinum V4 and, writing a list of all the Waveshapes, ColorMaps and Flowfields that were not to my liking I then proceeded to make use of the GF Toolbar by disabling all those configs that were on my list.

It was my understanding that I could then save my ammended list of configs to run / not run as a Theme which I duly did. The problem is I have no idea where GF has saved the information. The most obvious place to me was SoundSpectrum / G-Force / Themes but, it's not there, and it's not anywhere else in the SoundSpectrum folder either. I tried saving the Theme again using the same filename and I am told it already exists. So where is it, floating on 'Soft Skies'?

You really need to specify OS/version; sooooo, I revert to my default assumption (the only one I am pretty sure of anyway, XP )

Start Here ... and work yer way down
[ \Documents and Settings\Your Account Name\Application Data\SoundSpectrum\G-Force ]



( I didn't direct you to the EXACT location, because I thought you might be interested in where the Peference Files are also kept! )

Have fun!

if you have saved any themes they should show in the the toolbar under themes.

Windows XP -
C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\

Windows Vista / Windows 7 -
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\

(You may need to "show hidden files and folders".)

Some Windows users are setup to not allow write access within their Programs directory so Themes and Scripts are saved to the preference directories above.

Hello juxtiphi and sitsparky, many thanks for your replies.

Hello jerohm, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. That's a sneaky place to hide the file. When I first opened the SoundSpectrum folder it felt like Christmas day with all those new files to play with, am I gonna have fun.

Better late than never, I use Windows XP Home SP3, and use Winamp to run GF. My preferred player was MusicMatch until Yahoo bought it and basically killed it off.

The reason I wanted to know where Custom Themes were stored was because I had to format my Hard Drive and carry out a fresh install of Windows.

My thinking was that if I backed up the Theme files, after everything else had been re-installed I would be able to copy the files back into the Themes folder and things would be back to as before. However, for some reason although the cutom theme name appears in the GF Toolbar I am unable to load the files.

I don't know if it's a problem with GF or if it's me not doing something correct.

Regards BTT

Hmm. This should work exactly as you describe, and I was able to do this successfully with GF 4 on both XP and Win 7 -- Created test theme with certain configs unchecked, copied the test theme folder from the prefs folder to Desktop, uninstalled GF and made sure the prefs folder was removed, reinstalled GF 4 and launched the Standalone so that the prefs folder could be recreated, copied the test theme folder back into the prefs folder (Themes), launched GF Standalone again, selected test theme, and the appropriate configs were unchecked.

Not sure why this wouldn't work for you.
