Ghost of Tsushima — Omarchy Theme

An evocative, high-contrast samurai aesthetic theme for Omarchy, honoring the cinematic artistry and historical Japanese atmosphere of Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima.

• Base Atmosphere: Dark Japanese lacquerware glass surfaces with subtle backdrop blur.
• Accents: Spider Lily Crimson focus states and borders with Ginkgo Gold hover blooms.
• Borders: Elegant Hyprland gradient transitioning between Blood Red, Ginkgo Gold, and Katana Blue.
• Cultural Elements: Authentic Kamon heraldry, Mempo war masks, Torii shrine paths, and Kurosawa-inspired high-contrast black-and-white.
