Instructions
To use Configurator, you can learn about config.txt and theme.txt by reading the tutorial page or README-CFG.txt. The instructions for using the app are simple and located on the top left corner. Load your input files, make any desired changes to the options, and then save them. Each option has a checkbox, name, and a list of possible values. If the checkbox is checked, the option will be saved with the chosen value when you use the buttons at the bottom. If it's unchecked, the option will return to its default value and won't be saved. If you're unsure what an option does, hover over it for 2 seconds and a tooltip will appear with its explanation. Most values for options also have tooltips that describe what selecting them means.
The overlay wizards let you create your own overlay images and resize background images to the correct size. You can turn any desktop background into a Configurable USB Loader theme in just a few minutes.
The console wizards let you preview what your menu screen will look like, change the color, size, and coordinates, and copy those changes back to the main window. You can find additional instructions for this by clicking the "Instructions" button.
The installation wizard gathers all necessary files and puts them in the proper directory structure, ready to be copied to your SD or USB card. You can also write the files directly to the card/drive using the app.
The installation wizard can also create font images from any font installed on your PC.
