Heya,

I seem to have stumbled onto a small problem, I have 3 variants in a single theme, two of theme are working fine. One of them however crashes the preview all the time, and won't Apply in ShapeShifter.

I have the Apple crash message, but being a graphics gimp I can't make head nor tail of it. It started after I was working on the "tabs" section. What is the process I should follow to fix asap etc?

I'm from the UK, I can't bring myself to dropping the "R" 'cos it means something entirely different and very unpleasant here.

my suggestion would be...
duplicate the theme.
Theme A and B
delete problem variant 3 in theme B
delete non-problem variant 1 and 2 in theme A
Theme A = variant 3
Theme B = variant 1 and 2
...
then test Theme A to see if it is still causing crashes.
If yes... then delete and start again... or...
create new variant, and copy across the bits of faulty variant into new variant
(testing as you go) to see which part caused crash.

If no... then add theme A back into theme B. =)

My guess is that the 'shell' of the theme variant has picked up an error possibly during a crash. I doubt that the error is actually in one of the image pieces. Unless somehow you have managed to import an image in an unexpected format.

Email the crash log to the support address in the ThemePark Help file (from ThemePark's help menu).

It means something nasty in the U.S. too, btw.

What does it mean? I looked at dictionary.com, urbandictionary.com, m-w.com and google.com and found nothing.

Thanks Sm.ger

I added my backup which is still working, and I am busy copying rsrcs one by one to see where breakdown might be, but will mail file anyway.

I back tracked all the changes I had made today and added them to an older version, which now seems to work :/ go figure .
