Well ...

Like a number of data items, eg certain text and keyboard files, the stock theme isn't accessible. This is so your device can always operate even if you accidentally deleted all your theme, text and keyboard files.

Belgium.ktmf

You might try to start with Belgium.ktmf.

I found that on my Nuvis, the Belgium theme is basically a blank template without any modification of display features with the default Garmin theme.

Alternatively, you could start with any theme and remove all the entries that you do not wish to keep.

thanks.my belgium theme

thanks.
my belgium theme must be a system theme as well because the file size is exceptionally small and it doesn't open in theme maker either so i've been using france as a template but everything needs to be recolored. is your belgium editable or above 1kb in size ?

The Belgium.kmtf on my Nuvis is also quite small (~ 1KB) as yours. It is editable with a plain text editor. In comparison, the French theme on my system, France.kmtf is ~ 63KB. I have no knowledge on the "Theme Maker". I just used any plain text editor to open/modify the Garmin theme (kmtf) files.
