Starting with saved theme URL and applying gloss_wave background loses all settings

[roberto-cisternino]

Description

If I retrieve the ui url from the css header (see below links) and I try to edit the background of a style by applying the gloss_wave, I loose most of the style and I obtain a rendering based on the default theme.

If the url comes from an old theme version it is rendered correctly but cannot be modified (see the above explanation)
If I "save as" the current theme with the latest version, the link available on the theme css do not produce the expected theme but always the default theme.

A downloaded theme do not take into consideration a scope (if, any) because the index.html should associate to the body a class with the scope name.

In general, at this stage, the theme roller is unusable.

Link to test case

The below theme urls should be equivalent.

This is a 1.11.4 custom theme (this works but cannot be modified):

This is the 1.13.1 version of the previous theme (this doesn't work at all):

Thanks for the report. Given limited team resources the issue is not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/. PRs are welcome if they're not too complex.

I've read this issue again and I have trouble understanding - what does the following mean?

I try to edit the background of a style by applying the gloss_wave

Themeroller allows to modify various background colors in the hex format. Where does this glossy_wave come into picture?
