This still seems broken in 3.0.5?

Fresh install as of the start of October, updated to 3.0.5 today via updating dependencies and npm install.

@roberttolton can you try:

1. deleting any admin-ui dir created by the compilation process
2. delete any .angular dir that may exist
3. delete node_modules & lockfile, reinstall dependencies

and try again and see if that resolves it?

Hi @michaelbromley, thanks for your help.

This morning I installed a fresh 3.0.5 to compare against, and saw that a bunch of the CSS variables were getting overridden. It hit me then that I had began to customise the theme weeks ago before I had to pause work and come back to it now, and completely forgot.

For my custom theme, I'm now making sure it targets a specific mode e.g :root [cds-theme=light] and everything works.

Apologies for wasting your time, I am certainly banging my head on the desk now!
