What is a .OBT file?
The .OBT file is a type of file called an Openbox Theme File. It is used by a program called Openbox, which is a system that lets you change how windows, menus, and other parts look on your computer's desktop if you are using GNOME or KDE. These are both environments that make Linux look nice and easy to use. The .OBT file contains information like what colors to use, how big or small things should be, what the text looks like, and more. This means you can make your computer's windows and menus look different from the standard look, making it more personalized.
To open an .OBT file, you need to use Openbox. Once you have Openbox, you can apply the theme from the .OBT file to change how things look on your desktop.
There's also some useful information about where these theme files are kept on your computer. If it's a theme that everyone who uses the computer can choose, it's stored in a special folder named /usr/share/theme/. But if it's a theme just for you, it will be in a folder inside your personal folder, which could be either [user]/.local/share/themes/ or [user]/.themes/. The [user] part is where your personal username on the computer goes.
