Ok, so i have a 'ghosttheme' in my program. I've been using it for 6 months now for sure and it was never a problem, but now i debugged my project to see my changes in action, and when i stopped the debug, my form was completely empty (except for the "GhostTheme1") all other controls are partially lost, i can see them in properties view, but only theme control is shown. Please help asap i am scared, and in my designer file are still all controls 'visible'.

If you mean the controls in the bottom red rectangle, then there is no problem because none of them are visible in a Window. The ContextMenuStrips will be visible but only if you click on them.
As for the rest try a "Send To Back" on your theme, see if that solves the problem.

It is not that this control got over all the others, i can't find any of the controls on my form view, but i can access them through code - for example change text value of textbox.

Sorry for double posting, but does anyone know how can i get my controls back ? The code in designer seems fine, and almost identical with other forms designer file.
Edit:
I found out what is wrong, i have a class with some delegates for multithreading and i tried to create a delegate that will change the text of my theme (containercontrol). And since you can only put windows's controls, for example button,label and similar, instead of using container control since the theme is inherited from container control, i use control, and when i called it first time, the designer removed the lines with "Theme1.Controls.Add(*)" and nothing was being added to the theme.
I was lucky to have a groupbox and a tabcontrol as lost controls
