New Spicetify version changes color template of custom themes

[ZacheryMcLaughlin]

Hello, I updated from version 0.9.5 to 0.9.9 of Spicetify and noticed that the new version causes the custom themes that were linked to have reversed color schemes instead of what is intended. Is there any way to fix this?

For example, here is what the theme Vaporwave (color scheme: NewRetro) is supposed to look like and what it looks like for me.

What is your spotify version?

[ZacheryMcLaughlin]

Version: 1.1.35.458.g891674f3

Can you reinstall Spotify and run

spicetify backup apply

I just tried that and it still has the inverted colors. My laptop had spicetify version 0.9.5 and it was the right color scheme, but when I updated to the recent version the colors became inverted like shown above.

Same issue, spicetify-cli ver 0.9.9, spotify ver 1.1.35.458.g891674f3

this isn't an issue introduced by the latest version of spicetify-cli but by a recent spotify update, either the theme creator needs to fix the theme or spicetify-cli needs to change which color variables are assigned to what

dont really have a full screenshot of my old spotify, but this is the best i could get, old and new[bugged] side by side

Yeah it doesn't seem like there's a fix for it. Something with spotify switching up the variables most likely

i mean, it was a 7 second fix for me, replaced color a with "temp", color b with a and "temp" with b, but its more about solving this issue so it doesnt happen to other people/break old themes that are more complex and arent updated anymore

@ZacheryMcLaughlin did you manage to fix it? I honestly don't know what could cause this.

[ZacheryMcLaughlin]

@khanhas Yeah I was able to figure it out. I followed the process that @ThaUnknown posted earlier. You have to swap the main_bg and sidebar_and_player_bg color codes to get it correct. I posted a picture below to visualize. I don't know why they're swapped in the first place tho.
