I'll take a closer look into this. Does .atom/storage/reduced-dark-ui folder exist? Does the theme throw error if activated again? 😃

[mfplinta]

Hello 😃 ! Thanks for answering!

The folder .atom/storage/reduced-dark-ui apparently exists.

Re-activating the theme don't seems to resolve 😞

And when I restart the Atom with the theme activated, the white dead screen shows.

I'm running Ubuntu 17.04 🐶

Thanks again and good luck ;)

[tuomashatakka]

Thanks for the comprehensive images 😊

That's really odd. It may have something to do with access control. Or something else. 🙃

I'm currently working on moving from less variables to pure css variables which means all of that less file io may be abandoned. The sequence for checking the storage's files is rather complicated so I think it's best just to finish the new implementation. I'll try to get it done as fast as possible to allow you to enable the theme 🙋 Ps. the update makes the config updates a lot faster than any other theme out there since afaik none of them uses the css variables just yet 😃

@mfplinta I got to accidentally recreate this error on my local environment!

The latest commit (38ac378) has the fix to this, so if you want to, you may apply it to your local copy of the package - I won't publish it just yet, since there are some css variable definitions still unconfigured :)

[tuomashatakka]

I may cherry-pick that commit to the apm later this evening. I still don't know why less parser occasionally thinks that the font.less does not exist - my bet is that it fails to read the file if it's being written to at the same time.
