These Issues should be fixed for a better user experience, since certain theme colors (for example a blue theme or gray theme) can lead to complications and some colors are no longer recognizable.

So please Samsung Developers spend more time to test the Theme Tool enough of unthemed Colors before Release or give us the Option to particpate in a Beta Ring, like Windows 10 Insiders.

There are many thinks which must to improved about Galaxy Themes, in recent years the quality has decreased with the theme tool. too many errors with every new update that could be avoided.

Of course it looks not professional in the moment with so many bugs. In the other Thread Actually Bugs in Galaxy Themes are the Issues are list why Themes are rejected.

Cheers
