Having been in the software biz for decades, I can appreciate and understand more than most people the order of magnitude of the project you have undertaken. Question. Have you frozen the data format of the project file? What are the chances the format will change? JVS ---

@dan Stoked this release is out, but I’m seeing problems with all of my projects. The primary one is crashing when I try to edit my custom colors in the theme studio. The other more worrisome one is that my custom typography setup has been changed from underneath me. My font settings have been switched to some other font. Not sure if this was intentional or a bug. I’m sure this might be simple to fix as I can go and make sure the font is reset to my font. Unfortunately, I cannot make this fix as the Theme Studio crashes whenever I try to open it. _UPDATE: I’m seeing a LOT of crashes (more than I have ever experienced in the past). Especially, while trying to test out the new components. The crashes always occur when I try to change some of the settings. Some of my projects will not even open, they crash instantly._ ---

So Sorry about this, I thought there would be a few issues in this build, but not this bad. Don’t worry though, we’re going to get right on it, and get it fixed ASAP. In the meantime, can you send us a project, that crashes? > [@handshaper](#): > > The other more worrisome one is that my custom typography setup has been changed from underneath me.

Sorry again about all this, we’ll get the bugs fixed up and release a shiney new build tomorrow (Friday). ---

> [@dan](#): > > …and can we get a project that crashes on launch too. I’ll put them together and mail you the links. I also noticed after getting lucky with trying to change one of the colors that my overridden color palettes were all gone. Is there a way that I can go back to the previous version so that I can record the colors I had setup so I can rebuild the palettes once I can get into the theme studio? I’m going to have to send you the projects some other way as I cannot get into Elements with the project that crashes on launch in order to upload it to the Elements Cloud? I sent you this one via email. I was able to get the larger project uploaded so I emailed you the link to it as well. This one also has my missing overridden palettes. ---

Hi Dan, Here is the link. elementsapp://downloadDocument/trd9yExr6uQz I had to remove some of the images. Is 1600 px on the long end overdoing it? The fonts were changed, but that should be easy enough to fix. Thanks, Hugh ---

We have some ideas on what we could do, but it’s low priority — **We need to finish and ship the core app as a 1.0 before we can tackle this.** I believe other third-party options (like [this one](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/work-in-progress-cms-replacement-for-foundry-3-alloy/46684/3)) will be available long before we have something to officially offer. ---

Hi Dan, in this project elementsapp://downloadDocument/XciyBB3Cu6Yy it crashes at different places. Open Theme Studio and click on Colors. I have defined my own colors. Another error is that the menu disappears behind the text when viewed in the browser. I have already made several attempts with Z-Index, but unfortunately without success. And how can I change the links to the menu items afterwards? The border radius full should also be wrong in Theme Studio. ---

Hi Dan, Thanks for the quick reply. Have a look at the menu. You can hardly see any of the entries as the text is overlaid by the font. See picture. Should the border radius full in the theme studio really be 576px? ![Capto_Capture 2025-03-21_12-23-56_PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/7/e7ed2ec9993b5a2982cfb22b770683c98b73642e.png) ![Capto_Capture 2025-03-21_12-25-51_PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/c/9ced0d80fdd1b71832f7596189499c71083ab011.png) [Next page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/dev-diary-ep70-elements-0-6-7-update/46805.md?page=2)
