| [00:51:47] | Quantum7: | I'm getting all the themes I DL into ~/.mythtv/themes, but selecting any of them never works. |
| [00:52:42] | Quantum7: | jpabq: I choose a different one, the frontend restarts, but still Terra. |
| [01:03:41] | jpabq: | Your frontend logs should give a clue as to what is going wrong. |
| [01:18:53] | Quantum7: | jpabq: Nothing in mythfrontend.log showing any problem. |

| [02:55:01] | sphery: | Quantum7: you likely need to shut down mythfrontend to see the update |
| [02:55:33] | sphery: | Quantum7: that happens when you start mythfrontend and your specified theme is a) broken (old version), b) missing, or c) unusable due to permissions or whatever |
| [02:56:05] | sphery: | Quantum7: when you say to use an unusable theme, we put in a "session override" that says you'll use Terra until you restart (with a usable theme specified) |
| [02:56:15] | sphery: | so, change your theme to a usable one, then restart mythfrontend |
| [02:57:59] | sphery: | and, I'm not a fan of the approach, but was told I had to use it because "we shouldn't just change a user's configuration without permission" in case someone installed MythTV but forgot to install their desired theme, then started MythTV--some thought that user would be upset if we changed their theme to Terra, so that they had to go in and change it back to the one they want |
| [02:58:35] | sphery: | however, now that all theme installation is done through the theme downloader, it makes even less sense--and really confuses users when they try to change it and it doesn't because of the override that stays in place until you restart mythfrontend |
| [02:58:56] | sphery: | (since when they install the one they want, we'd also change the theme to that one) |
| [05:32:16] | Quantum7: | sphery: Thanks. But I've started completely fresh, compiling 0.27 and deleting all old Myth directories. The only themes I've downloaded are with the Chooser. It looks like mythfrontend restarts when I download each them, and when I try to choose that theme right after that. But I'll try stopping and restarting. |
