Our Discourse was updated yesterday and a few hours later two users informed me their preferred Light theme was replaced by Shades of Blue (which had been made the default). They switched back and forth between the two but are stuck with Shades of Blue. When I checked in the Dashboard the first thing I noticed was the forum was updated 7 hours earlier - when both users were off-line. When I checked the Themes, the color scheme for Light is blank! I think what happened with the update is the Light theme color scheme was cleared so she was defaulted to the Shades of Blue theme… or the Light theme grabbed the Shades of Blue color scheme as something to replace the blank scheme it now has. All the other Themes work without any problem. If it was only one user I would say she changed her preferences, but there are two users involved. I believe all my other users are using the Dark Theme and Shades of Blue. One may be using Vincent.

We have the same Problem in our Board. Fun fact: When I am not logged in and switch the theme using the Theme Selector, it works as intended.

[image] JimPas: color scheme for Light is blank Same here! I had to make a new colour palette for light theme. :neutral_face:

Sorry for the trouble everyone! The issue was fixed by @pmusaraj here: [image] Header Background Color Reverts Bug Hello @Christopher_Kidd, as Justin noted, we have made some changes to how we handle color schemes, and you’ve stumbled upon a bug where editing a color scheme doesn’t update the changes. I am working on a fix for this. For now though, I have fixed this on your instance by renaming the color scheme (renaming bypasses the cache mechanism). WIll update here when the update fix is included, thanks, and apologies for the inconvenience. Update: this issue should now be fixed via this commit. If you are still seeing related issues on latest Discourse or as a hosted customer, please let us know.

Still the same here (customer). We’ll wait for it to be updated. My users are very obliging and patient. :slightly_smiling_face:

just updated … problem seems to still be there :wink:

Thanks for letting us know :slight_smile: As we mentioned on the other topic, you can fix this immediately by renaming or re-generating the color scheme (which bypasses the cache mechanism) but Penar will have another look at this when he starts his day to fix any remaining issues.

Hey @JimPas, Did you already fix the color scheme? Maybe keeping it as it is for a few hours might help Penar debug the issue for hosted customers when he starts his day. If you did, no problem.

No, I haven’t touched it. I’ll leave it alone so he can check it out. :+1:

Thank you, we’re on it :raised_hands:

I don’t know anything but I would disable both theme selector and dark/light toggle, and after that give a new try.
