I've missed something here surely
You are missing basics about theme files structure. This is what I wrote before - there will be more such black holes ('cause those such things are not consistently documented). Copy&Paste doesn't help though.

There are a few notes:
1. Reaper, to create list of themes shown in Options/Themes does look into ColorThemes directory
2. this directory might be located in different locations depending on your installation. You can find it using Options/Show Reaper resources menu option.
3. While custom color themes are located in mentioned directory, technically speaking, Reaper can load a theme from whatever location you force it to (by clicking on the theme file)
2. Reaper supports zipped and uzipped themes. Unzipped themes have ReaperTheme extension while Zipped themes have ReaperThemeZip one.
3. Zipped theme is nothing more or less than ReaperTheme file compressed into ZIP file (mostly with related resources directory)
4. Unzipped theme is built from at least ReaperTheme file. It may contain resources also. Those are placed in subdirectory. Name of subdirectory must not be related to your theme name. To make reaper know which subdirectory to look into, ReaperTheme contains an ui_img parametr. The variable can point to subdirectory or ReaperThemeZip file

I suppose your ReaperTheme file misses ui_img parametr, or it's filled with wrong value.
Also you may see no difference if resources directory as well rtconfig file are empty. But it's obvious
