Open THEME File

A THEME file extension is used by various software applications to store theme, skin, or visual style data. Here, we will discuss several formats and ways to open and use THEME file extensions based on the application they are used in.

Microsoft Windows Themes

Microsoft Windows utilizes THEME files in the .theme format to store visual style data for desktop themes. These files include settings for font color, background images, border colors, and sound schemes. In order to apply a .theme file on a Windows-enabled device, simply double-click on the file. Windows will automatically apply the theme and its settings to your desktop.

For more information and to download themes for Windows, you can visit the Microsoft Store Themes Page.

Microsoft Plus! Themes

Microsoft had an earlier version of Windows Themes in their Microsoft Plus! software. These THEME files have a .theme extension similar to current Windows themes, but they are only compatible with Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0. To open these files, follow the process mentioned under "Microsoft Windows Themes."

You can find additional resources on the Wayback Machine archive of the Microsoft Plus! page.

WordPress Themes

In WordPress, THEME file extensions can be found as part of the overall theme package. They primarily consist of PHP, CSS, and Javascript files, but may also contain images and other media. To install a WordPress theme, follow these steps:

Download the theme archive (.zip).
Extract the theme folder.
Upload the theme folder via FTP to wp-content/themes directory in your WordPress installation.

GTK+ Application Themes

THEME files are also used for themes in GTK-enabled Linux and Unix-based operating systems. These themes typically come in compressed .tar.gz or .tar.xz archives. To install a GTK theme, do the following:

Download the theme archive and extract it.
Open your Home directory and create a .themes folder (if it doesn't already exist).
Copy or move the extracted theme folder to the .themes folder.
Use a theme-changing application such as GNOME Tweaks, Unity Tweak Tool, or another compatible tool to apply the new theme.

You can find GTK+ themes from the GNOME Look website.
