About ThemeEngine
ThemeEngine opens the compiled .car asset catalogs that macOS and its apps use to store images and interface resources, and lets you edit them. This makes it possible to theme parts of the system or individual apps.
This repository is a fork of Alex Zielenski's original ThemeEngine. The v3 branch targets macOS 11 and later, and the v2 branch targets 10.11 and later. Editing system .car files on Big Sur and later requires extra steps described in the README.
