Inspiration

Released in 1991, Another World was created by Éric Chahi and published by Delphine Software. Known as Out of This World in North America, it follows scientist Lester Knight Chaykin after an experiment transports him to an unfamiliar planet.

Angular silhouettes, monumental architecture and small figures against vast landscapes recall its cinematic Amiga artwork. Midnight blues and alien teals carry through the collection, with phosphor green drawn from Lester's laboratory terminal. The interface palette stays consistent as wallpapers change.

Installation

Run on your Omarchy 4 machine:

omarchy theme install https://github.com/simoz/omarchy-another-world-theme

You can also enter the repository URL under Install > Style > Theme. To switch back, select your previous theme from Omarchy's theme menu.

Unlock

A phosphor-green laboratory terminal brings Another World to the boot and disk-unlock screen. After installing the updated theme, select Another World under Style > Unlock.

The transparent unlock.png and preview-unlock.png are included. This is a rendered preview using Omarchy’s Plymouth assets and layout; boot behavior still needs a live check. To regenerate it on Omarchy:

About & screensaver

Lester and his alien companion stand together on a ledge in the optional terminal artwork.

About artwork and screensaver artwork share the same compact silhouettes and title. Omarchy supplies the screensaver animation. These are personal branding settings; selecting a theme does not install them automatically.

After installing or updating the theme, run on your Omarchy machine:

mkdir -p ~/.config/omarchy/branding
# Keep a backup of existing personal artwork before replacing it.
for name in about screensaver; do
  target="$HOME/.config/omarchy/branding/$name.txt"
  if [ -e "$target" ]; then
    cp "$target" "$target.backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
  fi
  cp "$HOME/.config/omarchy/themes/another-world/$name.txt" "$target"
done

Close and reopen About, or open System > Screensaver to preview. Switching themes does not remove this artwork. Restore your backup to recover earlier custom branding; Style > Screensaver > Restore Default restores the Omarchy screensaver. These new text assets still need a live check.

Shell

Opaque midnight-blue surfaces, pale blue-gray text and teal borders carry through menus, notifications, the launcher and authentication dialogs. Selected rows use deep teal; phosphor green marks focused controls and active borders. shell.toml leaves font and layout choices to your personal configuration, which takes precedence.

Desktop previews

Captured on Omarchy 4.0.3-1, using Arrival. Click a screenshot to open it at full size. These captures show the palette before the new shell overrides and branding were added; they do not yet validate those additions.

Palette

colors.toml contains the theme palette, including bright terminal variants. icons.theme selects Yaru-prussiangreen.

Opaque-color contrast: primary text 12.13:1 on the background; primary text 6.79:1 on selection. Transparency and application customizations may change these results.

Compatibility

Uses the Omarchy 4 central palette format. Omarchy generates application configurations from colors.toml.

The original palette is shown running on Omarchy 4.0.3-1 in the screenshots above. The new shell.toml, boot artwork and terminal branding have been checked locally but still need a live check after installation.
