After Effect Duik Angela error at line 20042 of the script

[C�lia32852772n6xs]

Hello,

I'm trying to open Duik Angela in After Effects but it tell me that it's impossible :

"unable to execute the script at line 20042" and tell me to use getAppTheme, getUseReducedContrast and getAlloedAppTheme.

But i don't know what that mean. I tried on a past version of after effect it's also not working and tried to update my Duik Angela script but the problem still the same. 

Could someone help me fix this error ? 

(Sorry if my english is bad)

Thanks,

Célia

Hi, @C�lia32852772n6xs!

It seems that the best alternative until any DUIK updates come out is to return to the 2024 version of AE, instead of 2025.

Wish you the best!

Hello @Augusto36361455fz2g,

Duik did make updates to their plugins while we did these updates in Beta so if you are experiencing issues in their latest versions, please let us know.

Hello guys,

I am William, I recently try to install DUIK Plug-ins with my windows laptop "Lenovo Idea Flex 5 14ALC0" and when I tried to open it, it said: "Unable to execute script at line 20207. After Effects error: themeColor is no longer available in AE. Use getAppTheme, getUseReducedContrast, and getAllowedAppThemes instead."

I already update to newest Radeon driver, windows and app (Adobe After Effects 2025 latest Version as per 26 October 2024".

i already tried to:

- Delete all scriptUI files, but it didn't work.
- Restart my laptop, nothing works.
- Check "Allow Script to Write" in Preferences, nothing works.

Right now, i am trying to:
- Install After Effects 2024 and reinstall DUIK Plug-ins to ScriptUI Panels.
- Tried another plug-ins
- Install DUIK Angela lower version.

Please help me. Thankyou so much.

The version out is Duik_Angela_17.1.7 did not resolve the issue for me!

Hello @mardi,

From looking at the website, the most recent version is 17.1.16. I recommend updating to the most recent version.

@mardi,

I have reached out to Duduf, the developer of this plugin. We both believe this was fixed with the update from this summer, though he is going to verify with the build available from the website.

Hi Jessica, @Jessica McMillan 

Thankyou so much for your help. I would like to try newest version of DUIK. I hope there is no bug / error.

For now, I am going to use After Effects 2024. Last time I replied, I was using 17.1.8., I am going to download the latest version of DUIK (17.1.16). Hope it works.

Thankyou so much Jessica.

Hello,

Relaying this from Duduf, the developer of this plugin:

I can confirm Duik should work on Ae2025
A couple of things noticed:

• If the user has installed Duik using the "File" menu from AE, the script goes in %appdata% (and there's need for admin rights)
• But most users and tutorials use the old way, by copying the script file in the app folder (program files on win /applications on mac)

The problem is that users may end up with two copies of Duik in the two locations when updating; the problem is only one gets listed in the "Windows" menu, and it may be the older version.

Marking this as fixed since there is an update that is available to fix the issue.

All the best,
Jessica

As far as I can tell, this is not solved. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the install method or location per the "solved" answer; it seems to be an issue with the .jsx referencing an app called themeColor that is no longer available in AE. The dialog pop-up says to "Use getAppTheme, getUseReducedContrast, and getAllowedAppThemes instead." There are 3 lines in the code that reference app.themeColor, maybe an update can be pushed that revises those lines?

Hi Jessica, thankyou so much for your help.

Recently I installed newest version of AE (2025) and also DUIK. The problem has been solved.

Thankyou so much.
