settings.json file has already been used in another theme
-
How do I stop this, its driving me bananas, Ive tried everything by exporting from browser and creating a new name and it still does it..
It would be great if when this happens it just asks you if are happy for a new id to be created and it automatically fixes it, also every time this happens and I try again I have to re-enter all the info again..
Thanks in advance.

@matt991 Create a new theme, then export it as zip. If you try to change an existing theme, which has already been uploaded and try to share a new theme from it, it will fail. Alternatively edit the config file directly and remove the ID, as explained in the error message.

@matt991, go into the settings.json file, scroll when you see
"id": "e48xa94ple-4836893-exa0459sk59",
Edit it, so it should look like this:
"id": " ",
{ "accentFromPage": false, "accentOnWindow": true, "accentSaturationLimit": 1, "alpha": 0.75, "backgroundImage": "background.png", "backgroundPosition": "stretch", "blur": 0, "colorAccentBg": "#df81cd", "colorBg": "#1f1627", "colorFg": "#000", "colorHighlightBg": "#000", "colorWindowBg": "#000", "contrast": 8, "dimBlurred": false, "engineVersion": 1, "id": " ", "name": "Your Theme Name", "preferSystemAccent": false, "radius": 6, "simpleScrollbar": false, "transparencyTabBar": true, "transparencyTabs": false, "url": "https:\/\/themes.vivaldi.net\/themes\/theme-name\/status.json", "version": 1 }
