I’ve moved your post to a new topic, because it has nothing to do with release of theme options.

Your sales invoice was automatically credited because the customer (Walk In Sale, in this case) had a negative balance in `Accounts receivable`. That should never have happened for a walk-in customer, indicating that you have entered other transactions incorrectly.

Sales invoices have no interaction with cash accounts. They only debit `Accounts receivable` for the customer specified. A separate `Receive money` transaction must be recorded when the invoice is paid to credit `Accounts receivable` and debit a cash account.

I recommend reading and understanding these two Guides:
