About THEMEPACK
Windows 7 brought theme packs: a .themepack holds a theme's wallpapers, its accent color and often its sounds, cursors and icons, and installs it with a double-click. Windows 8 named the kind whose wallpapers span several screens .deskthemepack. The Microsoft Store and many sites share themes this way.
A theme pack is a Cabinet file, Microsoft's CAB archive, holding a .theme and the files it names. The .theme is INI text: the theme's name under [Theme], the wallpaper and how it's placed under [Control Panel\Desktop], the slideshow's folder and interval under [Slideshow], the colors under [VisualStyles], and its sounds and cursors.
Filepeek opens a theme pack as a folder, its wallpapers in DesktopBackground. Each picture opens in the image viewer and the .theme as text, and Save as ZIP or Extract all saves them all, with nothing installed.

Questions
How do I get the wallpapers out of a theme pack?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a THEMEPACK. It opens as a folder, and each wallpaper in DesktopBackground opens in the image viewer. Save as ZIP, or Extract all in Chrome and Edge, saves every one.
Can I see a theme without installing it?
Yes. Its wallpapers and its .theme, with its name, colors and slideshow, open here, and nothing on your computer changes.
What's the difference between .themepack and .deskthemepack?
Both are CABs of a .theme and its files. Windows 8 named its panoramic themes, whose wallpapers span several screens, .deskthemepack, and Windows 7 doesn't install them.
