when I last tried that theme changing colours worked fine. Pay attention to how you specify colours though. Some of the FColor variables you posted have dots instead of commas. You have to use commas!

Code: Select all

;this is wrong
FColor3=0.0.0.255 
FColor4=100.100.100.255

Code: Select all

;this is right
FColor3=0,0,0,255 
FColor4=100,100,100,255
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
