Theme Tab (Global Settings)

The Theme tab in FMX Global Settings controls the visual appearance of your photo booth experience, including colors, branding, asset management, and UI text customization. All theme changes are previewed immediately in the running application, but are only persisted to disk when you click Save Changes.

Workflow Background Color

• Background Color -- Sets the background color for the workflow experience screen. Enter a value in HEX format:
  • #RGB -- Shorthand (e.g., #F00 for red)
  • #RRGGBB -- Full color (e.g., #FF5733)
  • #AARRGGBB -- With alpha transparency (e.g., #80FF5733 for semi-transparent)

Main Theme / Accent Color

• Main Theme Color -- Controls the primary accent color used throughout the FMX interface. This color is applied to primary buttons, selection highlights, active tab indicators, and other interactive elements. Enter a HEX color value.

Asset Management

The current Theme tab exposes these asset groups. Each group can operate in one of two modes:

• Built-in -- Uses the default assets bundled with FMX. No setup required.
• Customize -- Uses your own files or folder.

Asset Categories

Category	Custom Input	Notes
Print Copies Assets	Folder	Assets used by the print-copies step
Signature Stamps Assets	Folder	PNG stamp assets used by signature/sign-draw workflows
Preview Theme Assets	Folder	Preview UI images; customized preview assets require retake.png and ok.png
Tic Tac Toe Assets	PNG files	Separate square PNG files for X and O marks

Workflow Foreground Image

• Workflow Foreground Image (PNG) -- Select a transparent PNG image that is displayed over the experience screen during operation. Use this for watermarks, logos, sponsor branding, or event-specific graphics.

The overlay is rendered on top of the live experience but does not affect captured media (photos and videos are captured without the overlay unless you configure it as part of your workflow overlays).

Keyboard Settings

• Virtual Keyboard Layout -- Choose the on-screen keyboard layout used for email and survey text input: QWERTY (default) or AZERTY (FR).
• Survey Keyboard Language -- Choose the Open-Ended Survey keyboard language: English, Spanish, French, or Hebrew.

UI Text Translations

FMX allows you to customize every text string displayed in the application by defining key-value translation pairs. This is useful for localizing the booth into different languages or simply adjusting the wording to match your brand voice.

Available Actions

• Add Blank -- Adds an empty key-value pair for you to fill in manually. Use this only when you know the exact text key name.
• Add Common Keys -- Seeds the translation list with the most frequently customized text keys and their default values. This is the recommended starting point -- it shows you which keys are available and lets you edit only the ones you want to change.
• Edit -- Modify the value of an existing key-value pair.
• Remove -- Delete a key-value pair, reverting that text back to the built-in default.

Main Controls Position

• Top (default) -- Places the primary navigation controls at the top of the experience screen.
• Bottom -- Moves the primary navigation controls to the bottom. Use this when your booth layout places the screen lower and guests interact near the bottom of the display.

Save Behavior

Theme settings follow the same preview-then-save model as all Global Settings:

• Changes to colors, assets, and text translations are applied to the running application immediately for preview.
• Changes are only written to disk when you click Save Changes at the bottom of the panel.
• If FMX closes before you save, unsaved theme changes are lost.
