DesignzShop Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 When creating a theme if we (devs) change one of the pre-defined IPB colors (example: body background) while in designers mode the change stays until the theme is re-installed. After a client re-installs the theme the color doesn't revert back to IPB's however it does show a revert button that will change back to IPB's stock color. I can't even say how many times I'll get notice from someone asking what color went where in those stock fields after they've changed it or reverted it back thinking it would revert back to my themes stock color. Please allow themes to keep the new themes colors (changes) and get rid of the revert button Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignzShop Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 @Rikki or @Matt or @bfarber Is this a bug that should be reported or is this WAI? It keeps the custom colors without adding a revert button to the stock colors from IPB after leaving designers mode, just not when it's installed fresh.

Management Matt Posted January 24, 2020 Management Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, I can see how this would be annoying. So you want it so if you install a theme from an XML file, then the colours are locked and no revert button shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported a bug that would not allow you to keep custom settings within a theme when installing from the XML file, specifically custom fonts. If I change edit the theme and update the core, these custom settings are removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how everyone else feels about locked but what I meant was I wanted the colors we put into the stock IPB fields to stay the color we chose to make them then act like the rest of the color fields afterwards. So if someone for example didn't like a button color we created, they could then change that and at that point when they change it then the revert button should show and the revert button should at that point remember the color the developer made it instead of the IPB stock color. Hope that explains it better. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This would be an interesting as a needed fix to say the least. I have seen this time and time again where a customer can install a customized theme make a few edits - decide these edits are unacceptable hit the revert button. Rather than a template reverting back to its custom settings of the custom theme it will normally revert back to the IPB default. In the worse case scenario a customer not thinking will attempt editing on a live board rather than setting up a test board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Can't the custom theme just be reinstalled and all the settings will be restored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read the first post. while in designers mode the change stays until the theme is re-installed. What I mean is if the theme is reinstalled, it WILL restore the theme settings, so this is potential solution to the issue (although I do see your point about the revert button issue).

Are you going to fix the custom fonts bug which I reported a couple of months ago please? I was told that it had been fixed, but it is still there, even worse, custom settings for themes are removed when the suite is updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
