What is an RWTHEME file?

The .RWTHEME file extension is used for theme files created by RapidWeaver, a web design application for macOS. These files define the appearance and style of websites created with RapidWeaver, including layout, colors, fonts, and other visual elements.

More Information.

RapidWeaver was first released in 2004, aimed at simplifying web design for macOS users. The .RWTHEME file format was introduced to enable users to apply different visual styles and layouts to their RapidWeaver projects. The purpose of these files is to provide customizable templates that users can use to enhance their website’s design.

Origin Of This File.

RapidWeaver is developed by Realmac Software, a company specializing in software for macOS. The .RWTHEME files are part of RapidWeaver’s ecosystem, which allows users to create and customize websites without needing to code.
