What is an ATH file?

ATH files mostly belong to Athenasoft NORMA. An ATH file can refer to two distinct file types.: Most ATH files are used by Athenasoft NORMA for cost estimation in Polish projects. These files store project cost details and calculations in a proprietary format that works only with the designated software.
A smaller group of ATH files are used with Alienware systems. In these cases the file uses XML to save theme settings for Alienware FX lighting.
For example:

Athenasoft NORMA cost estimate files: Open these using the Athenasoft NORMA application. They contain cost data and formulas specific to Polish construction or project estimates.

Alienware FX theme files: Open these using the Alienware Command Center or a text editor that supports XML. They control system lighting and appearance settings. More details can be found on the Dell website.

FilExt.com note: Always use the appropriate software to view or edit these files, and back them up before making changes.

ATH format details:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the ATH files looks like this:

ATH files are between 21 KB and 46 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>, <ThemeDataset xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ThemeDataset.xsd"> and <xs:schema id="ThemeDataset" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/ThemeDataset.xsd" xmlns:mstns="ht.
