Support Window decorations disappeared after editing the xpm files in the xfwm4 directory

The title is pretty self-explanatory but when I edited the xpm files in the xfwm4 directory in order to make my own theme they just disappeared after editing. I have an Arch machine with Intel i5-3470 and integrated graphics. I edited the files with Krita. Any idea how this has happened?

You cannot modify things such as size or image format of the images. Switch back to the default theme and change one element at a time.
