Primary and Secondary colors are ignored in 2.1.2

[nemchik]

I just upgraded to 2.1.2 and have found that my selected Primary and Secondary colors are no longer applied.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Have a Primary and Secondary color set

Expected behavior:

The UI should use my Primary and Secondary selected colors.

Observed behavior:

The UI uses the default teal color

P.S. This was not an issue on the previous version prior to updating to 2.1.2 and I have tried completely closing Atom (and ensuring no atom.exe tasks remain) and then reopening and the issue persists.

[silvestreh]

have you tried setting your custom color again?

[nemchik]

Yes I have tried changing to other colors and then setting back to my preferred colors and this hasn't resolved it. I also tried the predefined color selection select list and none of them seem to work either.

[madeddy]

Have the same:

[entepe85]

I'm experiencing the same issue. I somehow managed to set a different color while using the Material Light Syntax theme but after changing that I am unable to change the default color.

[kfalkiewicz]

Got same issue. Tried changing colors, as set, or individually. Nothing changes.

[MxRay]

I can confirm same issue too. Tried everything, changing pre-defined colors, custom colors and nothing works.

Correction: everything works after I restarted my PC.

[xeho91]

I can confirm that after computer restart it works.
Using Windows 10 Pro N (64x).

[gregtyler]

This was fixed for me by just restarting Atom, not the whole PC.

Edit: I think I switched to another pre-defined colour, then back to the one I wanted before restarting Atom. Comments below would suggest that doing so works more consistently.

[silvestreh]

I wasn't able to reproduce this one. But looks like the solution was to restart Atom (or your computer), so I'm thinking it might've been cache related? 😕

On the upside, I did find another bug introduced in 2.1.2 which rendreded the accent color generator useless. Just pushed 2.1.3

[nemchik]

I have both rebooted my PC and restarted Atom (as mentioned in my initial post and comments) and the issue persists for me. Is there something special I have to do in order to clear cache for Atom?

[nemchik]

Ok, I closed and reopened Atom again just now and the colors started working. Then I was prompted to update to 2.1.3 and I did this and was prompted to restart Atom. After restarting Atom the colors stopped working. I restarted again and the colors started working again. This is pretty irritating behavior.

[PeteCrighton]

Can confirm, happened to me after both updates to 2.1.2 & 2.1.3. Simply restarting Atom didn’t fix it, but choosing another predefined color and switching back to the desired color again, then restarting Atom fixed it for me.

[phlippieb]

Same issue on MacOS. I can't find a workaround. Have tried to

1. Select custom colours again
2. Select predefined colours, then do 1 (the UI doesn't even update to the selected predefined colours)
3. Restart atom, then do 2, then 1
4. Restart PC, then 2, then 1

[DominikZians]

I got the same issue (MacOS, Atom 1.24.0), but only in combination with the atom-material-syntax. When I choose an other syntax (for ex. atom-material-syntax-dark) the color changes to the choosen primary color. Changing back to the atom-material-syntax changes the color back to default.

[drakesong]

Have the same issue. This problem only occurs when atom-material-ui and atom-material-syntax are selected. Having any other syntax theme such as atom-material-syntax-dark does not reproduce the problem.

Versions

• Atom 1.24.0
• atom-material-ui 2.1.3
• atom-material-syntax 1.0.8

Tried

• Restarting Atom
• Restarting PC
• Resetting config for atom-material-ui

[tumido]

Despite not using atom-material-syntax, I can also confirm this issue. I'm using material-design-syntax. Changing to some other-and-not-affected syntax themes workaround this issue. The stock ones like Base16, One, Solarized works fine as well.

[nemchik]

I should note that I use Base16 Tomorrow Dark syntax and the issue of updates causing the colors to not work until a restart of Atom has been around for a LONG time before I opened this ticket. Prior to version 2.1.2 I was able to simply able to restart Atom one extra time after an update and the colors would start working again. 2.1.2 changed that and I was unable to get the colors to set correctly again until 2.1.3 showed up as available (see my comments above).

[micleb]

Same issue, my atom-material-ui is in 1.2.3

[ghost]

For me this issue occurs right now on specific syntax themes (like Atom Snazzy Clear). On standard one everything looks fine.

PS: No errors in dev console.

[biogeo]

Same issue here with Atom 1.19.1, atom-material-ui 2.1.3 running on Ubuntu Linux. Using syntax theme Gruvbox Plus causes the color settings to be ignored; other syntax themes, including atom-material-syntax, work normally.

[fragmential]

same issue here, I'm on macOS 10.14.4, Atom 1.36.0 x64 and atom-material-ui 2.1.3. It doesn't seem to matter which syntax theme is in use. I've restarted Atom and uninstalled and reinstalled atom-material-ui and the issue still persists. Predefined colors are also ignored. I don't really like the teal so this is quite a problem for me.

@evelynhathaway You're right, and I already solved it, I was importing ThemeProvider from the wrong library 😅. But thank you so much for taking the time.
