bug: oomox-cli throws `Error patching extheme.dll`

[onemoresuza]

Description

Running oomox-cli on any of the Xresources themes --- /opt/oomox/scripted_colors/xresources/ --- results in the following message being shown Error patching uxtheme.dll. Although the compilation messages appear as if no problem has occurred, both GTK --- e. g., Firefox, Chromium, pinentry-gtk-2 --- and QT --- pientry-qt --- programs are unable to pick up the generated theme.

To Reproduce

oomox-cli /opt/oomox/scripted_colors/xresources/<theme>

being <theme> any of the following:

1. xresources
2. xresources-reverse
3. xresources2
4. xresources3

Output

STDOUT

With the xresources3 theme:

Error patching uxtheme.dll

it checks for env var "no_jokes", so set it to 1 before running the script (or gui)
