Every time you edit your brushes file, make sure your able to undo changes just in case you leave a tag open, or forget to put the colors in the right format. Reasons why your theme can fail can be: 1. You left a tag open. <strong> ....titleBarEndColor” fill=”#111111″ /</strong> Just like HTML, you need to close your tags. The above example forgot the ">" symbol at the end of the slash. 2. You inserted color in the wrong format <strong> ....titleBarEndColor” fill=”111111″ /></strong> Just like HTML, you need to insert a pound sign for every single color you use. The above example is missing the # sign before 111111. The theme can also fail if you put in less than 6 digits for the colors. 3. You inserted tags that cannot be read by AIM. <strong>....titleBarEndColor” fill=”#111111″ Hello There! /></strong> Inserting things that don't belong in the brushes file such as "Hello There" or any other thing you can come up with, can make the theme fail also. Brush files won't fail for deprecated ids (these are Ids that no longer work in AIM) and they won't fail if you point to an image that does not exist.
