'New Theme' Issue/Bug?

[sjoens]

This is probably only happening to me right now as I'm building a new theme.

MC8.412, and I believe 408 seems to be switching themes internally without my consent.

1. I created a new theme with it's own folder and file set.

2. I've set Preferences>Display>Visual Theme to the new theme with no issues while using MC8.

3. Occasionally when entering Preferences for any other reason and I click OK or Cancel to close it I get the warning: "Restart Required!" "You've changed the current visual theme..." Only I never did.

4. Upon reopening MC8 the theme is switched back to the default theme.

This is more FYI as I know the Visual Theme function isn't fully developed yet.

Hi,

Try it again, then quit Mixcraft and send us your mixcraft-log.txt file.

Thanks Greg, will do. Hopefully it's something I'm doing wrong.

It happened again. After going into Preferences/Plugins to rescan my plugins, I got the "You changed the language" and "You changed the theme" messages, which require a restart for the changes to take affect, Only this time I was using MC8x64 with factory default theme and settings, not my highly modified MC8x32.

When reopening MC8x64 the theme hadn't changed but the language was now Chinese-Simplified (tho it looks more like computer code).

Since no alterations of any kind were made to MC8x64, I believe these incidents have nothing to do with my new theme. It may be something within MC8 or the Registry causing this???

Hi,

I assume you're using build 413 now? If not, be sure to update.

If it's happening with build 413, maybe it's some kind of Windows permissions issue?

413 here.

If it's happening with build 413, maybe it's some kind of Windows permissions issue?

… it wouldn't be permitting Chinese hackers into my system?!? Chinese-Simplified is the 1st language in the list so could be some kind of default reset glitch.

Hi,

If you right-click on Mixcraft's icon and select "Run As Administrator," does the problem happen?

Greg

I don't normally run as admin. This thing happens maybe once out of every 10 times going into Preferences. And I go into Preferences about once out of every 20/30 times using MC8.

I'll try to run MC8 as admin every time I use it and see what happens. Knowing me, the one time I forget to run as admin it'll happen again.

Hi,

You can edit the properties of the Mixcraft shortcut icon to always run in admin mode if you want.

Right-click > Properties > Compatibility tab.

Done. Thanks.
