Hello. Sorry for my late reply (holidays, etc) but there is no theme color option.

Select Settings from the main menu, then Appearance Select the theme color.

Not on a Bridge device (I have 3 of them). Only day/night option available.

Hello. @canderson. Do you know if it is possible to change the map theme or is it not possible?

No. Not possible to change map 'theme' color (or the menu theme color). Again, only day/night option change for the map is possible. This color conversion is handled in the firmware (there aren't different colored maps on the TT units that support this), but the Bridge devices do not include that firmware.

Pg 109 shows Display option.
Pg 110 shows the one option available ("night colours").

"Theme" appears nowhere in the Bridge manual. What manual are you using?
Are you using the one as of firmware 18.1, to which you linked, above?

Way back when, Theme color was possible (e.g., see the manual for firmware 15.2). However, I have not seen that supported since several major versions of the firmware.



This is from the OLD 15.2 manual page:

Here is the info from a more recent manual page:

and

As you can see, the current version supports only night color changes.

Well, I didn't know that Tomtom had released several manuals?

I can conclude that Tomtom removed an option available in another version.

Yes, that would be correct.

I'm curious. Did you ever work with Jelle, Allard, Wouter etc. on this project? Very few in Amsterdam were involved with it, and even less outside Amsterdam.

Have you ever had a chance to enjoy using one of these?

It's a very unique product - not at all like any other TomTom device except for large portions of the UI. And now it is important to be very careful about how they are updated. It is easy to make bad mistakes for devices that do not get automatic updates, and available memory is becoming a problem that requires some extra effort to avoid.
