Cannot get new theme to appear in DockBarX preferences #122

I'm trying my hand at making a theme for DockBarX. Having made a theme, I tried to move the .tar.gz file to /usr/share/dockbarx/themes, but it didn't appear in the Preferences window. I then did the same thing with a copy of Mouse.tar.gz where all I did was change the folder name, tarball name, and theme name in the XML, but it also didn't appear. I've tried putting the tar.gz file in both /usr/share/dockbarx/themes and ~/.dockbarx/themes, and I've logged out and in again. Am I missing something?

Could you upload your theme here? And the local theme path is ~/.local/share/dockbarx/themes, not ~/.dockbarx/themes

Sure! I'm attaching two themes - DockBar95 is the one I started working on, but I'm sure it's buggy because it's my first attempt. The other one, called NinetyFive, is just the Mouse theme but with the name changed - it's all I changed in it.

Other themes I've downloaded online - Splice and Windows10 - both worked just fine placed in the global themes folder.

DockBar95.tar.gz NinetyFive.tar.gz

There should not be a top directory in your theme. Repack it with the following commands

tar -xzf DockBar95.tar.gz
cd DockBar95
tar -czf ../DockBar95.tar.gz *
