Export theme
Exports exact ColorToARGB values. A valid non-empty file wins; if it is missing, empty, or invalid, the EA uses Custom Theme inputs. This is the fallback path for macOS/ARM.

How to quickly find where to place the config file?
- Open the MetaTrader 5 platform. In the top menu select "File" -> "Open Data Folder". In the opened window open the MQL5 folder.
- Copy the downloaded file to the "Files" folder.
Full path example: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\MANY-RANDOM-SYMBOLS\MQL5\Files\
For macOS users, the idea is the same: find where the terminal's AppData physically lives and place the config file into the required folder.
Usually on macOS, the user's folder contains hidden files. The terminal's physical AppData is usually somewhere among them.
- In Finder, press Command + Shift + G and enter /Users, then open the user folder, for example /Users/Georg/.
- Inside the user folder, press Command + Shift + . to show hidden files and folders.
- Find the terminal folder among them. Example path: Libraries / Application Support / MetaTrader 5 / Bottles / MetaTrader5 / drive_c / Program Files / MetaTrader 5 / MQL5 / Files /.
- Your path may differ, for example: user / Library / Applications / net.metaquotes / drive_c / Program Files / MetaTrader / MQL / Files /. For Color Picker, use the Files folder.
