====== Gnome Theme Package format ======

A .gtp package is a gzip-compressed-tar archive containing an index.theme file and some theme components. The description of the MIME type has been implemented in the gnome-control-center package originally, following the shared mime info specs, and it's just an inheritance of a .tar.gz MIME type with its suffix changed to .gtp (see definition [[http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-control-center/trunk/capplets/theme-switcher/gnome-theme-package.xml.in?revision=7100&view=markup|here]]). On GNOME the default behaviour when double click is launch the theme manager in theme installation mode.
