Themes exported in SkinStudio are empty... any ideas?

from Stardock Forums

Hello there, I have been using SkinStudio + WindowBlinds for about 2 months now, and I have been loving it! However recently, I have been unable to export themes in SkinStudio, whenever I make a WBA package it's always 1.28mbs in size and when I import it, it makes the titlebars invisible and makes the context menus + controls fall back to the Windows Classic theme, it also makes explorer freeze when you open it and the same thing happens with UWP apps too. Has anyone ever seen this odd bug? Thank you in advance.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling SkinStudio first, if that does not fix it you will have to wait for a Stardock response.

I have already reinstalled twice, but it's still broken, I'm pretty sure it's something wrong with the theme I've been trying to compile.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. If it only happen to that theme than most probably, yes, there is something wrong with that theme. I have similar situation when I am trying to load my very old theme like Sonix.wba. Last updated 2000.

You will need to look into all the parts in that theme and see which of it is giving a problem. It will take a lot off time.

Or, The best thing I would do, is to rebuild it all over again. You already have all the graphics parts, you just need to rebuild it from a known working theme.

Just a suggestion.
