Dear Experts;
themeroller module seems to be broken.
I've searched the forums and can't find any reference to this problem with themeroller module.

The instructions at http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:themeroller
say to build a new theme:
1 Go to http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ and generate the color scheme you want or pick from a list of existing themes.
2 Click the "download theme".
3 Choose the '1.7.3 (Legacy release, for jQuery 1.3.2) ' radio button. Click "download".
4 Save the file to your desktop.
5 Log in as admin; Admin -> Appearance -> Import themeroller

But neither of those 2 versions (step 3) "1.7.3 or 1.3.2" are available at http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ when you "download theme". Choosing either of the 2 versions that are available doesn't work. Step 5 always results in an upload error called "html error".

Dead in the water.
Can't go any farther.

It seems that http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ has changed to a later version, but the themeroller module was not modified to keep up with the latest version. Ralph Whitbeck of appendTo.com reports:
"jQuery UI only supports the previous major version as Legacy. The current version of jQuery UI is 1.10 meaning the legacy version is 1.9."

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted

I have a similar problem with it too but no error messages.
When I try to upload the zip file created at the themeroller site from PC to Gallery admin, I'm clicking on the "upload" button on the pop up at stage 5 but nothing happens at all. It just doesn't respond so I have to just close that pop up and can't go any further.
