Amber OLED

An Omarchy theme for OLED panels. True black, a mid-century palette, and warm amber like tubes glowing in an old amp. Amber goes only on things that glow, so most of the screen stays dark and most of the pixels stay off.

Amber OLED: a terminal in the theme's colours over the lava lamp

omarchy-theme-install https://github.com/limehawk/omarchy-amber-oled-theme

What's in it

  • 132 wallpapers at 4K, hand drawn in code as Bayer-dithered dots and ASCII glyphs, in parchment, walnut and amber on #000000.
  • A terminal palette to match: parchment text, amber accent, and warm mid-century colours that keep diffs and errors readable.
  • A boot unlock logo: the Sputnik chandelier, its bulbs amber, above the disk password (pick it in Style → Unlock).
  • Every other app (Hyprland, the shell, btop, Neovim, VS Code, Chromium and the rest) is generated by Omarchy from one colors.toml.

Wallpapers

The background picker walks through them by style, one highlight from each below. The lava lamp at the top is the default.

Up close, at one screen pixel to one image pixel: the dither is the look. Fades break into single dots, so the grid and the gradient show at once.

Close-ups at 1:1: an Edison bulb's spiral filament, a Nixie tube's glowing digits, a Lissajous figure

Terminal colours on a sample of Python and git output

Chromium-based browsers take Omarchy's pure-black seed. Chrome builds its own dark palette from it, so its frame is Chrome's darkest grey rather than true black; a browser theme can't go further.

How it was made

Every wallpaper is drawn in code, dot by dot or glyph by glyph, and went through a trial sheet before it joined the set.

Credits

The amber nods to RetroPC. The dithered style nods to Omarchy's Flexoki orb, and the ASCII to Midnight.
