How to install a theme in Telegram?

Telegram supports customization right in the client settings. However, many users prefer to download ready-made themes from other authors. In this way, you can get a design with a well-developed color and a high-quality background picture. Here we will tell you how to install your own or someone else's theme in Telegram.


Installing a theme from the generator

  1. After saving the theme created in the generator, click on the "Download" button.
  2. Then click on the desired format. Now we provide themes of the following extensions:
    1. tdesktop-theme: Windows, Linux, Mac OS;
    2. attheme: Android.
  3. Send the downloaded file in a message to yourself (to favorites) in Telegram.
  4. Click on the theme, and then on the "Apply" button.
  5. Ready! Your theme is installed!


The order of installation of any other themes is no different: You just download the file and then send it in a message - to someone or to yourself (to favorites). After that, tap / click and in the window that opens, click on the "Apply" button.

    When you click on the downloaded theme (one click, two – it doesn't matter), you open this (screen). I don't see any windows with a suggestion to apply the theme.

      The answer to a similar situation is already below. The theme will only work on the desktop version of the client. You have the swift version.

      Where did you get the information about the right mouse button or the like? - It is written in clear language: the topic should be sent in a message, in Telegram.

      Open the side menu and go to settings, then select "Chat Settings". A catalog of all installed and standard themes (+basic color settings) will be displayed here. Edit the parameters at your discretion, save the changes if necessary.

              Telegram latest version? I just checked, everything is working, the theme is being installed. You need to download the file format .tdesktop-theme.

      @komekko, edited your theme, just download it again. Added forced image compression to the generator to 4K resolution (3840x2160px). The Telegram client does not want to eat your picture in 8K resolution πŸ™ƒ

      @beissmich, judging by the "Show in Finder" button, you are using the Swift version (macos.telegram.org /), whereas tdesktop-theme works, oddly enough, with the desktop version of the client (desktop.telegram.org /)
