Gentlemen of Unraid.

 

What is the connection between updating Unraid Connect to version 2025.02.20.1632 today and completely breaking my theme? And isn't that the case, is it that the Theme Engine plugin stops working completely.

 

I've spent many hours setting up the system to my liking, and with each update I'm surprised?

 

It would be good at the plugin level if you controlled a roll-back for these situations, because it's scary to update the plugin on other systems and break it aesthetically.

 

Any solution?

 

Thanks,

 

Odon

hey odon, so sorry this happened -- gotta hate such surprises. hopefully issues like this will be easier to anticipate one the api/connect plugin is open sourced.

 

for context, this update added and changed (the name of) some css variables in order to fix a bug with header gradients. i bet that's breaking your theme customization. rn, i'm not 100% sure what the solve looks like, so i'll have to get back to you on that. going to raise this to the team today for sure tho.

 

agreed on the "roll-back" suggestion. it'd be awesome to have a way to "feature flag" changes, especially breaking changes. this will (most likely) require an update to the connect settings page first though.

Hi Pujitm,

 

I'll give you a little update on the solution:

 

1. Uninstall Unraid Connect.
2. Uninstall Theme Engine.
3. Install Unraid Connect.
4. Install Theme Engine.

 

Following that order, Theme Engine will work again and Unraid Connect will be in its latest version.

 

The option to revert would be fantastic, just like we have when we update Unraid Core. If something goes wrong, please let me go back to the previous state so as not to destroy my system. In this case, it's an issue and it's aesthetic, but in other updates it may be more of a compromise for those of us who have our Unraid system as the head of our production environment for "documentaries about killer ants and super-fast turtles", always recorded with our 8K camera, of course.

 

Thanks for your time.
