GO Launcher Menu Theme Stuck after update... - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hey all,
I am Rasa, and I am a "noob", lol
I own a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0.
I have searched for a good 15 minutes and couldnt find a similar problem or answer.
I've only owned an android device for a few weeks now,
But am a fluent Linux user, and don't really have any problems navigating or finding/changing things.
However,
I just updated my "GO Launcher" yesterday,
and now the "menu" (where preferences/edit/go store/ etc) are,
Won't change when I switch themes.
Before the update, When I would switch themes,
The menu would also change to match the theme.
But after the update..
The menu stays white (with green highlights) , no matter what theme I change to.
Ive tried restarting it, exiting it, and everything else I could think of..
But it doesn't change anything.
I don't currently have a screenshot tool on my device,
But I could manage to get a photo or two if required.
Has anyone else experienced this?
and if so.. Do you know how I can fix this so that the menu changes along with the chosen theme?
Thanks for any help, Much appreciated.
Great job on the forum and the dev. work!
Merry Xmas!
Rasa

I apologize if this is in the wrong spot.
Please forgive my noob arse, if so.

Do you mean the launcher buttons at the bottom of the screen?
The style of those buttons may stick around after you change theme. You can long press those buttons and replace them with theme icons if you wish.

Hi and thanks for the reply.
those aren't quite what I'm talking about,
I can change those no problem,
but...
When I hit the actual "menu button"
(the bottom-left "button") seen here..
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
a menu comes up,
like this..
[snagged from google images]
and that menu usually changes along with the chosen theme.
But it no longer does so after the update.
This is what I'm stuck on. lol
Not sure how to fix it.
(could I revert the update back to previous version?)
Everything else changes with the theme like it should, except this menu.

Personally I don't really care what that menu looks like, it's not open that often (unless you're saying it's actually "stuck" there and won't close). You might look at menu/pref/visual settings/icons/ "menu icon" to see if there's something there to change.

Hi tcat and thanks for the reply.
Nah, it's not stuck open,
and while I agree that it's not really open enough to matter much,
It still bugs me. lol
I don't much like white on my OS's, not white menus, bg's, windows, or much of anything else to be white. And this is white! lol
On a good note, I am now screenshot-able!
I've looked through all settings and there is just nothing to change this.
No matter what theme I switch to, this menu stays as it is.
But it changed fine before i updated GO Launcher.
Meh!

Hi,
I see what you mean. It might be a bug that they introduced with the update.
Did you by any chance backup your apps with maybe Titanium Backup?
If not, maybe try contacting the developer.
[email protected] (I think).
Or, their website:
http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/
has links for the previous APKs, which you could download and try to re-install.
Jim
P.S. I didn't have any earlier versions, but just installed the latest a couple of days ago, and I see the same behavior you're seeing.

Hi Jim! Thanks for the reply, and especially for the confirmation that it's not just me! lol
I didnt back up anything before I did that update,
Only afterwards. doh!
and this thing isnt rooted yet, So i only have a "generic" backup tool from the market. No Titanium, yet.
I hope it's just a bug and not actually a new" feature" or something.
I may just contact them , good call.
Thanks again man.
I appreciate it.
edit: emai sent.
we'll see.

I'm having the same issue, even now. I'm searching desperately for a fix. I've found that very very very few themes will also theme the menu. You can see which ones will work by going to 'MENU' - 'Preferences' - 'Visual Settings' - 'Icons' - 'Menu Icon', and a list will pop up of available themes for the menu. The problem is that many many more of the themes I have installed SHOULD work for the menu. They used to, anyway. It's obviously an update problem. Did you ever find a fix?

Hey, I never found a "fix"..
But I learned the same as you, That you can see what menu themes are available,
and I also learned (pretty sure anyway), That it is due to GO Launcher being updated without certain themes also being updated by the creator.
So, If the creator of the theme does not update their themes along with the GO launcher updates..
The menu defaults to that white background with green icons/menu items.
All of the newer themes Im using, or the themes i have had updates for since GO Launcher updated, seem to have their own themed menus,
But the themes that have not been updated after Go launcher was,
All seem to get stuck with the fugly-ish white menu.
So me thinks it's just a matter of certain themes creators not staying "on the ball". lol
Pretty sure of it.
I think the only 'fix' for it is for the theme makers to get off their butts and update their themes. lol

Sorry for the 2x reply, but I found the fix. Well, sort of. Go to the GoLauncher site like he said, and install Version 2.68, because 2.69 is where they made the update to the menu that stopped most themes from working. The downside: Any themes that HAVE been updated to work with the new menu from 2.69 on, will NOT work with 2.68. The other option is to email the devs of your favorite themes and beg them to update.

Hey, That's good to know. Thanks.
I wondered how to "roll back" if I wanted to.
I have emailed a couple theme creators asking them to update,
but got no reply that I know of. lol

We must have posted at almost the same time lol. I didn't see this until I posted again and basically told you the same thing. Craziness. But thanks for the heads up. At least your question got me on the right path to finding an answer.
