Theme Location Unknown

[RamonAbudAlcala]

Description

I am unable to find the file theme.txt responsible for the current theme.

Expected Behavior

I'd like the functionality of tools -> themes -> "save the theme to sketchbook for editing" || "Reload theme.txt update the current theme" to work

Current Behavior

Cannot find theme.txt and cannot create custom themes using the aforementioned functionality.

Steps to Reproduce

I go to tools -> themes -> select a theme e.g. Alloys/morito.txt -> click "save the theme to sketchbook for editing" I don't see the file theme.txt anywhere. At first I assume "sketchbook" is the location of my .pde file, but theme.txt is not there. Where is "sketchbook"?

I can see theme.txt in /lib/themes but this was already there. Changes to /libt/themes/theme.txt file do not affect the current theme.

The consequence is that I am unable to create custom themes. But I'd like the functionality of "save the theme to sketchbook for editing" + "Reload theme.txt update the current theme" to work Default themes work as expected, just by clicking on them.

Your Environment

I am running Processing 4.3 portable on a Windows 10 machine.

Other tests

I have also tried to create a theme under /lib/Personal/mytheme.txt and edited the line

theme=Alloys/morito.txt

to

theme=Personal/mytheme.txt

in the preferences.txt file with processing not running. This changes the theme when I open processing, but I am unable to use the functionality of editing the file and click on tools -> themes -> click "Reload theme.txt update the current theme"

Furthermore, If from this state I select Alloys/morito then preferences.txt changes back to theme=Alloys/morito.txt and then if I click "save the theme to sketchbook for editing" preferences.txt stays as theme=Alloys/morito.txt. Is this meant to happen?

I cannot find anything online about the location of the file theme.txt, it seems that this is taken for granted everywhere.

You can see the location of the sketchbook folder at the bottom of the Preferences window: https://processing.org/environment/#sketches-and-sketchbook

Thanks!

Just for reference, the folder is specified at the top of the Preferences window, rather than the bottom :)
