A safe theme ZIP contains a wallpaper, recipe.json, theme-tokens.css, README.md, and SHA256SUMS. The checksum list covers the wallpaper, recipe, and token file. The package contains no executable or installer; hashing helps detect accidental corruption or replacement after generation.
Verify on macOS or Linux
Open Terminal in the extracted directory and run shasum -a 256 followed by the exact file name. Compare the full 64-character value with SHA256SUMS. A single different character means the file is not identical and should not be assumed safe or complete.
Verify on Windows
Use Get-FileHash with -Algorithm SHA256 for each file and compare the Hash field. Checksums establish file identity, not author trust: a malicious publisher can hash a malicious file. Combine checksums with an original source, readable contents, and a known review process.
Completion checklist
- All expected files are visible
- Every hash is 64 hex characters
- Values match exactly
- Source is still trusted
