I know I can make my own now that I have the programming cable and CPS software for the Baofeng 1701, but sometimes the colours don't match what I have added to the colour palette. They are vastly different for some reason. Maybe its a glitch with the software, I don't know. Anyway, theme files can be shared among users. The files are in .gtm format, and some users have made some amazing colour themes for the Baofeng 1701. And the .gtm files are very easy to add to the radio with the software.
Problem is, one of the only places where users have openly shared the majority of these themes, which are technically free to download, has been left unworking due to the owners claiming that people / bots etc have been hacking the website, and they have disabled important parts of the website because of that. So no one else can register to the website, and the themes can't be grabbed / downloaded.
Pictured above. A screenshot from
the thread "Post your creations here" on the OpenGD77 forum, where nothing can be downloaded and no one can register to the site anymore. The colour theme above reminds me of the old Ceefax screen which used to show on TV in the UK back in the day.
Despite the themes being visible as thumbnails with download links on the site. As mentioned above, that website is the OpenGD77 forum. As a result, none of the shared .gtm theme files at the thread linked to above can be downloaded anymore. I'm not sure if users who are already registered on the forum still have access to the site and are able to download files. I did manage to find 3 other gtm files online but that's it. The best ones are on the OpenGD77 forum.
Does anyone know of a website or download link that has all the .gtm theme files in one place. I could not find one. The files themselves are tiny in size, literally under 1KB. So a full download of all the files on that forum would probably be less than 1mb to download. So frustrating to be able to see them all in the forum thread and not be able to use any of them.
