How to open TMTHEME file?

The main problem with TextMate Theme Format is that the TMTHEME file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TMTHEME files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMTHEME 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 TextMate

The first step is to check if the computer has the TextMate program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TextMate in it.

Programs to open TMTHEME file

Remember to download programs supporting TMTHEME files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TextMate with TMTHEME files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TMTHEME file to open in the TextMate application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TMTHEME file with the TextMate application.

Step 3. Update TextMate to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TextMate program, it is possible that TextMate Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MacroMates Ltd. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMTHEME 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:

The TMTHEME file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TMTHEME files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TMTHEME file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TMTHEME 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 TMTHEME files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TMTHEME file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MacroMates help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TMTHEME 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. Copying the TMTHEME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TMTHEME to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
