NVU not switching to new theme when selected.

I modified the pretentious theme to make it look more like the Ulysses Mustarded theme, but when I switch to it, the appearance of NVU is the same as the previous theme that was selected, whatever that is.

This is what's in the .theme file:

If you're using the preferences, that's the "Default Theme." So it takes effect the next time you open a window. To change the current theme for a specific folder, use the View->Theme menu

Yeah, I'm using the View->Theme menu, but it's not switching to that theme. It will change to all others, but not this one. :| I tried re-naming it, copying the contents to a new file and using that one as the theme file...nothing seems to work.

Your theme is not valid.
