Hopefully this will help some people, and avoid posts to the forum about encrypted theme files. Use these tools to decode them yourself.
Better yet, avoid encrypted themes entirely. They’re always malicious in some fashion. There is no legitimate reason for a theme author to encrypt a theme file.
This site, made by Sucuri.net, will decode most forms of encrypted code:
http://ddecode.com/phpdecoder/This page will let you decode encryption that looks like
$o=whatever

$_F=__FILE__
:
http://www.tareeinternet.com/scripts/byterun.phpOtto also created this one, for encoded files that start with
$OOO0O0O00=__FILE__;$O00O00O00=__LINE__;

eval(gzinflate(base64_decode('...')));
