[Bug]: Applying any "Defaults" breaks custom themes

[tdtrumble]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

When using 'Defaults' menu in settings, changes to UI are always detected so trying to save any setting will update ui-config.css and break custom theming. As soon as new defaults are saved, UI will always load in as default theme.

You can still change it for the session, but I've found no way to fix this via the UI so it saves a selected theme.

When this occurs, I can delete ui-config.css from the main folder and relaunch, it will recreate the ui-config.css file using default and fix the custom theming behavior.

This basically renders the 'Defaults' saving functionality in settings useless.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to Settings tab
2. Go to 'Defaults'
3. Hit 'View changes' to see it detect changes to: ui_theme/Vars/value and ui_theme/Css/value
4. Hit 'Apply'
5. Reload UI, change theme, as many times as you want and watch it always load defaults

What should have happened?

I suppose the correct fix would be to have Settings>Defaults ignore any detected changes to ui_theme/Vars/value and ui_theme/Css/value for this repo, that way the custom theming and persistency between sessions never gets overridden

Closing. I did a fresh install and can't get the theme to save between sessions. I have no idea what the "expected" behavior is so can't tell whats wrong.
