Project Preview Theme Runtime dropdown in the Project Settings does not update when a new Default Runtime Theme file is created or a selected Default Runtime Theme file is deleted
Unity: UI Toolkit Controls
Won't Fix
6.5.X
6000.5.0a4 onwards
We will improve this once feedback starts coming in but for now, this is a very rare use case to begin with so having to restart Unity for this to update is currently acceptable.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new Unity project using the Universal 3D template
Create a new Default Runtime Theme file (Assets > Create > UI Toolkit > Default Runtime Theme file)
Open the Project Settings window
Open the UI Toolkit tab in the Project Settings window
Click on the Runtime dropdown under the Project Preview Theme
Observe the Runtime dropdown
Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Actual results: The newly created Default Runtime Theme file does not appear in the Runtime dropdown
Expected results: The newly created Default Runtime Theme file appears in the Runtime dropdown
Reproducible with versions: 6000.5.0a4
Not reproducible with versions: 6000.4.0b3, 6000.5.0a3
Can’t test with versions: 6000.0.65f1, 6000.3.3f1 (due to no Project Preview Theme in the Project Settings)
Tested on (OS): MacOS Silicon Tahoe 26.1
Notes:
The Runtime dropdown also does not update when a Default Runtime Theme file is deleted, still showing it in the dropdown and is selectable until the project is restarted
Restarting the project makes the new Default Runtime Theme files appear in the Runtime dropdown
