Theme park and Keyscafe don't like each other anymore (read: they don't sync very well)
You can create a keyboard theme in Theme Park, but you can't customize effects or sounds. Themes created in Theme park are not displayed in Keycafe.
Themes created in Keycafe are displayed in Theme Park. But, occasionally with unexpected results, as in my next example
I created my Keyscafe theme using one recommended sample, I customized all as I wanted (keyboard, letters, colors, effects and sounds.
After I applied theme in Keyscafe, theme appeared in Theme Park as keyscafe_color_preset
My theme has a little little bug- black toolkit colour on almost black background. Because Keyscafe don't have separate option for customize colour of toolkit in keyboard, toolkit took colour of letters, in my case black colour.
So I edited my recently created Keyscafe theme in Theme Park and changed colour of toolkit only, because I noticed that only that can be changed in Theme created in Keyscafe, nothing else if I change not appearing in keyscafe theme. So, I applied my changed theme in Theme Park this time
You maybe think that's all..Oooo, no.. Because, your theme actually didn't apply in keyboard.
Now you must open keyboard, tap 3 dot, menu will appear, tap theme and top of the screen you will see your theme and here you must again apply your theme.
You can see in the first picture that I now really have the yellow letters toolkit. What you can't see or hear is that this my customized keyboard keep my effects and sounds which I choose in Keyscafe.
Samsung, why keep it simple when it can be complicated, right? Even though I didn't completely remove the black toolkit letters, when I tap on the emojis, they are still black, so I'll have to change the color of the keyboard letters, which is a shame, I really like this one
And in Theme Park you must create separately theme for light mode, because same keyscafe theme appeared on both night and light mode. And I'm not sure that this theme will keep Keyscafe effects and sounds.
Really, Samsung?
Edit:
Now I changed in Theme Park colour of letters. Theme was automatically applied. Of course, there is another BUT. Now my emojis are green, theme in Theme Park also shows green letters, but on my keyboard letters are black, and emojis are green. What a mess 😂

Maybe let two app developers know too

Well, I guess developers should know how their two connected applications behave. And especially they should know that it's a little strange that the keyboard can be uploaded to Google or downloaded to My Files, it wasn't like that before.
Keyscafe is limited on 10 created themes. After you reach that limit you can not even edit existing themes, you must delete one if you want to edit. And keyscafe theme in Theme Park looks like live theme, if you change theme in Keyscafe, that theme will automatically replace previous theme. With all this mess, you can't even say which keyboard modified in Theme Park belong to original keyscafe theme, all modified theme looks same in keyboard theme, if you choose "wrong" theme, you loose keyscafe effects and sounds and must repeat all process again. Very frustrating indeed.
