Designer crashing

Issues
#1

I do not think I’m doing anything crazy but when trying to load the designer it’s cashing. I have attached my test file
SavantTEST.hrp (3.8 MB)

You have a bad Resources.xaml file. You added a SolidColorBrush to it but never assigned it a Key or a Color. Look at the last item in your file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ResourceDictionary xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:hr="http://schemas.thehomeremote.com/winfx/2015/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">
	<SolidColorBrush x:Key="AccentBrush" Color="{ThemeResource AccentColor}" Opacity="1" />
	<SolidColorBrush x:Key="AccentBrush9" Color="{ThemeResource AccentColor}" Opacity="0.9" />
	<SolidColorBrush x:Key="AccentBrush4" Color="{ThemeResource AccentColor}" Opacity="0.4" />
	<SolidColorBrush x:Key="BackgroundBrush" Color="{ThemeResource BackgroundColor}" Opacity="1" />

	<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TileBackgroundBrush" Color="#333333" Opacity="1" />
	<SolidColorBrush Color="" Opacity="0" />
</ResourceDictionary>

The HRP is just a ZIP file renamed. You can unzip the archive & edit the file with any text editor. Also check your email. I sent you the fixed the file a little bit ago.
