The .xccolortheme file extension is used by Apple Xcode, an integrated development environment for creating applications for macOS and iOS.
An .xccolortheme file contains the colors and other appearance settings that make up an Xcode color theme. The format is intended for customising the way source code and the development environment are displayed.
The file is a theme resource used by Xcode on macOS. Xcode can load user-created or shared color themes alongside its built-in themes.
Open the .xccolortheme file with Xcode on macOS. To add a theme, copy it to Xcode's user color themes folder and select it in Xcode's theme settings.
The file can also be viewed as text in a text editor, but Xcode is required to use it as a color theme.
An .xccolortheme file is a theme resource rather than a document intended for format conversion. Xcode can use the file directly, and its settings can be edited in Xcode or in a text editor.
