Mandelbrot Explorer is a Microsoft Windows application for exploring and rendering Mandelbrot and other fractal images. Its MXCS files store the colour scheme settings used to display those images.
The file belongs to Mandelbrot Explorer's own settings and options formats. It is intended to be used within Mandelbrot Explorer rather than as a general-purpose colour file format.
Open an MXCS file with Mandelbrot Explorer on Microsoft Windows. In the application, use its option for loading or opening a saved colour scheme, or associate the file with Mandelbrot Explorer if that option is available.
MXCS files are not intended for conversion to another standard format. Load the file in Mandelbrot Explorer and save or apply the colour scheme there; moving the settings to another application generally requires recreating them manually.
