Editing Theme (computing) (section)

===Operating systems===
;{{vanchor|Microsoft Windows}}
:[[Microsoft Windows]] first supported themes in [[Windows 95]] as a separate application package called [[Microsoft Plus!#Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95|Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95]]. Themes were later supported in [[Windows 98]] and was built-in there. These operating systems, as well as its successor, [[Windows Me]], came with themes that customized [[Computer wallpaper|desktop backgrounds]], [[Icon (computing)|icons]], user interface colors, Windows sounds and [[mouse cursor]]s.<ref>{{cite web|language=en|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|title=Theme File Format (Windows)|url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773190(v=vs.85).aspx|date=2017-08-13|access-date=2017-09-17}}</ref> [[Windows XP]] expanded Windows theming support by adding [[Windows XP visual styles|visual styles]] and allowing each theme to specify one. Third-party software such as [[WindowBlinds]], and [[Desktop Architect]] enhance theming capabilities. Support for custom themes can also be added by patching system files using third-party utilities, such as [https://www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_uxtheme.php?lang=en UltraUXThemePatcher] and [https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme SecureUxTheme], which is not endorsed by Microsoft.
;{{vanchor|Linux}}
:[[Linux]] operating systems may support themes depending on their [[window manager]]s and [[desktop environment]]s. [[IceWM]] uses themes to customize its taskbar, window borders, and time format. [[Window Maker]] can store colors for icons, menus, and window-borders in a theme, but this is independent of the wallpaper settings. [[GNOME]] and [[KDE]] use two independent sets of themes: one to alter the appearance of user interface elements (such as buttons, [[scroll bar]]s or list elements), and another theme to customize the appearance of windows (such as, window borders and title bars).
;{{vanchor|macOS}}
:[[macOS]] does not natively support themes. Third-party apps such as [[Appearance Manager#Kaleidoscope|Kaleidoscope]] and [[ShapeShifter]] may add this.
;{{vanchor|Android}}{{anchor|CyanogenMod|Android OS|Paranoid}}
: Although [[Android (operating system)|Android]] does not support themes, the forked [[CyanogenMod]] and its successor [[LineageOS]] have native theme support. The CM theme engine is in turn used on many other forked Android ROMs, such as Paranoid Android.
