Themes

File Converter Pro ships with Dark and Light themes. The active theme follows your Windows setting by default; toggle it with F2 or override it in Settings → Themes. Custom themes apply instantly across the app, including the Advanced Conversions dialog.

Custom theme preview


Install a theme

  1. Download a .fctheme from the FCP Themes gallery.
  2. In File Converter Pro, open Settings → Themes and click Install a theme (.fctheme).
  3. Pick the file, select the new theme in the list, then click Apply and OK.

To uninstall a custom theme, open Settings → Themes, find its card and click Remove. Built-in themes cannot be removed.


Create or publish a theme

Theme-authoring documentation lives in one place so this page does not repeat it:

  • Create a theme: start from the theme template and follow CONTRIBUTING.md. It covers the folder layout, metadata.ini, required stylesheets, screenshots, packaging, testing and the pull-request workflow.
  • Publish or update a theme: open a pull request against FCP-themes titled [create-theme]: <name> or [update-theme]: <name>. After merging, the repository workflow builds the .fctheme and refreshes the gallery automatically.
  • Report a theme problem: use the FCP-themes issue tracker.

Theme storage

Installed and manually copied themes live in styles/custom_themes/ inside the application's resource folder:

  • Frozen onedir build: _internal\styles\custom_themes\
  • Source run: src\styles\custom_themes\
  • Built-in themes: _internal\styles\themes\{dark,light}\ (or src\styles\themes\ from source)

Each theme has its own folder containing metadata.ini and the required QSS/CSS files. A .fctheme file is a ZIP package of that folder; importing it extracts the theme into custom_themes/. Themes copied by hand appear in the picker after restarting the app.
