What is EMERALD file?
The file with the extension EMERALD is the System Files file type. The creator of this file is Compiz Fusion. In addition to this file, the System Files category includes 323 related files.

The Emerald application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Compiz Fusion team.
How to open EMERALD file?
The most common problem when using Emerald Theme is that a specific EMERALD is not associated with the program. This causes the file EMERALD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMERALD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Emerald
The first step is to check if the computer has the Emerald program installed. This can be achieved by typing Emerald into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EMERALD with Emerald. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EMERALD files.
Programs to open EMERALD file
Remember to download programs supporting EMERALD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Emerald with EMERALD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EMERALD file still does not use the Emerald program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EMERALD file with the Emerald program.
Step 3. Update Emerald to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Emerald program with the Emerald Theme file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Compiz Fusion team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMERALD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EMERALD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EMERALD file. Sometimes virus-infected EMERALD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EMERALD files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EMERALD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Compiz Fusion, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EMERALD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EMERALD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EMERALD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
