  The SAP error message SO2_TOOL403, which states "Theme still contains objects," typically occurs when you are trying to delete or modify a theme in the SAP system that still has associated objects. This can happen in various contexts, such as when managing themes in the SAP GUI or when working with SAP Fiori themes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of objects (like styles, images, or other resources) that are still linked to the theme you are trying to delete or modify. The system prevents the deletion or modification to maintain data integrity and avoid orphaned objects.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Linked Objects:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for any objects that are still associated with the theme.
  You can also use the transaction SO2 to manage themes and check for any dependencies.
  
  
  
  Remove or Reassign Objects:
  
  If you find any objects linked to the theme, you will need to either delete them or reassign them to a different theme.
  For example, if there are styles or images, you can either delete them if they are no longer needed or move them to another theme.
  
  
  
  Check Theme Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the theme is not being used in any active applications or configurations. If it is, you may need to change the theme settings in those applications.
  
  
  
  Use the Theme Maintenance Tool:
  
  If you are working with Fiori themes, you can use the Fiori Theme Designer or the Theme Maintenance tool to manage themes and check for any dependencies.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation:
