Modify ‘Folder’ and ‘FolderDark’ items (from the left side list). then boot into whichever macOS your ThemeEngine.app will run on and open the Assets.car file with that App.ģa. This version doesn’t work on Big Sur or Mojave. If you are going to edit on 10.15, download a newly built version for Catalina (great thanks to Allan Nyholm/macrumors member #65816) from. This version doesn’t work on Big Sur or Catalina.Ģb. If you are going to edit on 10.14, download the original ‘ThemeEngine.app’ from: (111).
