04Verified downloads and format boundary
Download safely. Keep themes inspectable.
CC Theme exports declarative theme archives that never contain Codex, modified application resources, app.asar files or executable theme code. Platform installers are separate release artifacts.
Choose the target
Choose Codex or WorkBuddy and a supported platform; the package records the exact target build.
Download and keep
The .cctheme archive can be reopened in Studio and inspected as JSON plus safe assets.

What is inside a .cctheme file?
A .cctheme file is the user-facing declarative theme archive. It records the target app and version, the editable theme document, declared local media, compiled target configuration and SHA-256 for every file. The installer and fixed injection engine are separate release artifacts, not theme-package contents.
Read the version-compatible handoff guideWhat is checked before import?
- Reject traversal paths, unlisted files and abnormal file counts or expanded sizes
- Reject scripts, HTML, SVG, remote URLs and absolute paths
- Check image/video type, file signature, size and manifest hashes
- Do not apply an advanced adapter when the target build is unknown or mismatched
Download and installation questions
Which installer should I download?
Choose the Codex installer for Codex and the WorkBuddy installer for WorkBuddy. They target different clients and are not interchangeable.
Why must the exact client version match?
Advanced backgrounds depend on verified client surfaces. An app update can change those surfaces, so an unknown build should not be styled.
Does a .cctheme theme contain an installer or executable script?
No. A theme package contains declarative data, allowlisted local media and target configuration. Platform installers are separate release files.
Are my images or videos uploaded?
No. The current Studio processes media and drafts in the browser, and package export happens on the device.
How do I restore the native appearance?
Follow the restore workflow in the matching adapter README or release. Restore covers CC Theme appearance and connection state; it cannot recover product data or features removed by the client.
About advanced installation
Separate local adapters are verified for Codex 26.715.31251 and WorkBuddy 5.2.6 on macOS. They use a local loopback connection and do not patch the signed app bundle. Unknown builds and Windows remain unsupported.
