Thanks a lot !! One question is will this color theme cause more significant battery drain?

Hello, what do you open .gtm files with?
THANKS
73
You need the Open CPS from here: downloads/CPS/Latest (this is an updated version and is required for colour themes*)

Make sure your radio is connected then open the "Extras" menu and "Theme Editor".

From there you can "Open Theme File" which will load the colour scheme to your screen and then you can hit "Write to radio", the radio will reboot and you'll have the new scheme.

Note: Probably worth using the "Save theme file" first to keep a copy of your existing scheme as a backup.

Don't like that scheme? Cool, just change what you don't like or open your backup and write to radio.


*You need to ensure you have installed the updated firmware as well, more info on doing that here: https://opengd77.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2876

M0FXB has also popped a video on his youtube channel covering this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGTdhIPcBNY
