Hi James The theme mechanism switches in and out the current theme plugin as the theme is changed, so the shadow tiddlers within a theme are only available if the theme they belong to is switched in.
When you edit a shadow tiddler belonging to a theme you make it into an ordinary tiddler and it is no longer subject to being switched in and out when the theme changes. If you want to access the content of a theme that is not switched in you can use the subtiddler attribute of the view or transclude widget to do so. Best wishes Jeremy.
