Frequently asked questions
How do I download CC Theme?
Use the Download CC Theme link to get the immutable 0.2.2 Apple Silicon DMG from the official GitHub Release.
How do I install and import a theme?
Open CC Theme, import a versioned .cctheme package and let the app validate its manifest and integrity records.
How do I apply and restore a theme?
Select a verified detected client, choose Apply, and use Pause or Restore to return to native appearance.
Do themes require AI tokens?
No. The packages are already prepared, so no generation or repeated prompt tuning is required.
Which theme has a compatibility exception?
EVA is verified on WorkBuddy 5.2.6, while its CodeX visual verification did not pass.
What happens after an app update?
Pause the Adapter, restore native appearance and verify the exact new client build before applying again.
Does the current ChatGPT Desktop for Mac build have CC Theme support?
Current compatibility evidence covers ChatGPT Desktop 26.715.31925 through mac-codex on macOS 13.5+ Apple Silicon. A different build needs its own verification.
Is Codex still a separate desktop app target?
No. The current user-facing target is ChatGPT Desktop for Mac, including Codex mode. mac-codex remains the historical Adapter ID.
What is a .cctheme file?
It is a declarative, versioned theme package containing a manifest, theme data, allowlisted local assets and integrity records. It is not the CC Theme application itself.
Can I always restore the native appearance?
CC Theme provides a documented Pause and Restore path for its appearance and connection state. Restore does not recover or change host conversations or other product data.
Which Tencent WorkBuddy version is verified?
Current evidence covers Tencent WorkBuddy Desktop for Mac 5.2.6 through mac-workbuddy.
Are local images uploaded to the website?
No. The public website does not accept personal media uploads or keep cloud drafts. Prepared package assets are imported and validated locally by the CC Theme App.
