Hello my friend
If you can't solve the problem
You can reinstall it

sure but before i do that i need to know if theres a way to apply the theme without it crashing

If you start the IDE from the command prompt. you might get some additional information what is wrong.

No idea about themes. I would put the backup of whatever you did edit back in place and retry.

I suspect that you have a corrupt file which results in something not being set in the IDE code; that is probably a font. If you can tell me which file you've changed and post the changed file, I can have a look when I have time.

Else, as said, put your backup of that file back and start over.

heres my theme folder

Please post the content of the theme folder as a text (use dir if that exists an a Mac or ls -l from a command line / shell); redirect the output of the command to a file (e.g. listing.txt) will make it easier.

Please post /attach your theme.txt and I will compare it to the original that is on my Windows system (I don't have a Mac); I might (!!) be able to find something.

Do you still have the original? If yes, put it back. I've attached the one I have just in case; quite sure that it should work.
