Overview
Experience Modeler’s new Theme Editor is written in python and runs as an external application.
Separating the Theme Editor from the modeler enables changing the theme and Theme Editor without changes to the Modeler.
Theme Editor was written in python, a commonly use computer language and uses Tcl/Tk for GUI and requires python 2.7.x. Even though python 3.x is available, Tcl/Tk currently only works with v2.7.x which is standard on Max OS X.
You can confirm the presence and version of python on your Mac after opening a terminal window and entering the command:
– python –version
Because the Theme Editor incorporates images for better presentation and understanding, you will also install the Python Image Library (PIL).

Installation
After confirming the presence of a compatible version of python, you will need to install the Python Image Library (PIL).
There are many ways to install PIL, but these will do a basic install using standard Mac tools. You can also install with MacPorts and Homebrew, although they install in locations unique to themselves.
Procedure:– Install Xcode from App Store – free– Install command line tools for Xcode
• This include gcc the GNU c compiler– Install PIP – Package Installer for PHP– Install PIL – Python Image Library
That’s it
