The DESKTHEMEPACK file extension is used for a Windows 8 Desktop Theme Pack. It is a Microsoft-exclusive file format which allows for the bundling of multiple presenting elements within one single file. This includes, but is not limited to, custom desktop wallpaper backgrounds, an optimized window color scheme and its associated shaping, font selection, and more as part of a single theme package.
DESKTHEMEPACK files are created using the inbuilt Personalization Panel by Windows 8, allowing a user to quickly apply and customize a myriad of cosmetic options via one single packet. To differentiate from traditional theme creation formats, there are additional extra parameters available within this extension, such as tile setup and slider position. Once completed, these files will have the DTPK extension affixed to the end. Additional files associated with this specialized formatting can include CAB, THEMEPACK, THEME, GRAFFITI, PRI and more of similar type.
Creation
For versions from Windows 7 onwards, the user must have access to the Desktop Personalization section in order to create their own DESKTHEMEPACK files. This works when selecting and modifying the current desktop customization for their version of Windows. By choosing various options from the panel or sub-menu areas such as lock screen templating can lead to further configuration being introduced into the finalizing process.
Application
These files can be applied in versions beyond just Windows 8. While there may be lack of certain features on older systems, they still remain largely compatible operating-wise regardless of ios or version. When installing a DESKTHEMEPACK file in versions such as earlier builds of Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 can lead to some elements being disabled due to system architecture changes. As previously mentioned, additional files such as themepack or theme can also be applied using similar methods.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DESKTHEMEPACK) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DESKTHEMEPACK extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DESKTHEMEPACK file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DESKTHEMEPACK extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DESKTHEMEPACK extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DESKTHEMEPACK file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DESKTHEMEPACK file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DESKTHEMEPACK file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DESKTHEMEPACK file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DESKTHEMEPACK file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
