Sunset Theme is broken

[drfreund]

The Sunset theme does not work anymore. If you select it in options dialog and reload/save, nothing happens. After a restart of dnGrep, the Light theme is used instead. There are no error logs written, which could help.

dnGrep-Version: 2.9.400.0
My system: Windows 10 Pro, Build 19043, x64

The Sunset theme is an external file, and my guess is that it got corrupted somehow. It was last updated about 4 months ago and it is working on two different computers that I tried.

The Sunset.xaml theme file is located at C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\dnGREP

The original source file is https://github.com/dnGrep/dnGrep/blob/master/dnGREP.WPF/Themes/Sunset.xaml

Can you try replacing your copy of Sunset.xaml with the one linked above? From the linked page, click the Raw button and copy - paste the whole file into your copy of Sunset.xaml.

That's exactly what I tried earlier ;-). My Sunset.xaml is identical to that under https://github.com/dnGrep/dnGrep/blob/master/dnGREP.WPF/Themes/Sunset.xaml. But the directory ..\AppData\Roaming\dnGREP does NOT exist on my harddrive. My Sunset.xaml is in the dnGrep installation path under "Themes" (c:\Applications\Tools\dnGrep\Themes\Sunset.xaml). That seems to be the right location, because if I rename the Sunset.xaml, I can see it in the dropdown list of the themes combobox with the new name.

OK, yes, there is a bug loading themes when running in dnGrep 'portable' mode when the application is in a writable directory outside of Program Files. It's reading the theme file names from the correct location, but tries to load them from the appdata location.

Fixed in Released in 2.9.428
