Things to check:

• OpenCanopy.efi must be from the OpenCore package, both must be the same version --- of course I've upgraded this
• Resources/Image folder must have one or more themes folders ----> I have a couple of folders for customisation
• Misc -> Boot -> PickerVariant=Default (for Acidanthera/GoldenGate theme) ---> I use adjusted btwise\ASUS-ROG theme
• Misc -> Boot -> PickerAtributes=145 ---> have 159
• Misc -> Boot -> Picker Mode=External ---> same
• Misc -> Boot -> ShowPicker=true. ---> same
