I realize this theme was not necessarily created with the Mongoose Traveller 2 ruleset in mind, but it does not seem to be working as expected and I am not sure why. For example, all the text (body and heading) in the reference guides is dark and does not seem to be getting over-ridden as would be expected by the theme. They seem to be the same colors as defined in the ruleset iteself. I think that sheettext (just a guess) is also not getting over-ridden.

65450

Any tweaks I try to make to the theme (like merge= or ruleset= just end up making all the text black.

This seems like the right spot from the theme that should over ride the ruleset, but it it not.

I changed the <loadorder> from 50 to 1000 and it seems to be working now. It was 50 before I changed it.

I'm not seeing this issue with the Core - Dark theme by default. I only have the Core - Dark theme loaded in my test campaign.

If I load it into a mostly empty MGT2 campaign, then it does load correctly. When I load the original Core-Dark theme with my main MGT2 campaign, I do see the issue I showed above. I do have a three extensions (FGTabber2, Font-Poppins, and mgt2-shiplocker) that I was loading besides the theme. Setting the <loadorder> higher fixed the issue I was seeing. It probably does not need to be 1000 like I set it to, but something a bit higher than 50.

That sounds like something in one of your extensions is overriding fonts/frames. I would guess Font-Poppins, since that sounds like another theming extension.
