How can I get the original string from `.alfredappearance` theme file?

Hi, alfred dev

 

Here is the issue, I opened `light.alfredappearance` theme file of Alfred 2 and I think that is a `.plist` file but how can I get the color string correctly?

If it's an encoded NSColor object, it may not be possible. I think Andrew may have to step in on this one. What are you attempting to do with this if you don't mind me asking?

Oh, I just want to analyze this file into colors list otherwise I should only use the other version `Share Theme URL`, just a interest, hope Andrew can help me understand that encoded base64 string.

Just wanted to drop a note back to you really quick. I spoke with Andrew and looks like we were correct. The .alfredappearance files provide a serialized NSColor object and I don't think it's going to be possible to read that. You'd be better off reading the values from the Theme URL as you mentioned above.
