Matrix

An Omarchy 4 (Quattro) theme for the 1999 film.

Phosphor green on void black. Olive lift in the shadows, not gray. The accent is CRT green (#3CBF5C), not laser lime — the lock-screen rain can stay hotter; the desktop sits in the body of the stream.

Install

Omarchy 4:

omarchy theme install https://github.com/BVisagie/omarchy-matrix-theme

Or Install > Style > Theme in the Omarchy menu (Super + Space) and paste that URL.

Backgrounds cycle with Super + Ctrl + Space.

Palette

RoleHexIn the film
Background#080C09The simulation's black, with a green lift
Accent#3CBF5CCRT phosphor, not the rain's white-hot head
Foreground#8BC98CTerminal text, the body of the stream
Muted#3A6840Dim trails, comments
Selection#143318Highlighted code
Red#A83A3AThe pill, the alarm, ACCESS DENIED
Yellow#B8BA48Sickly fluorescent
Cyan#4BB56APrompt, still in-world

Syntax highlighting stays inside that world: phosphor greens, a brick red, a little teal for directories and the prompt. No magenta nightclub.

Backgrounds

All five are 3840×2160.

  1. Mono rain — white-phosphor CRT (default)
  2. Falling code — the same rain in Matrix green
  3. Green street — empty city, rain, CRT color grade
  4. The office — cubicles, CRTs, fluorescent
  5. Hotel corridor — 1999 carpet, rain on the far window

Rain wallpapers are drawn at native 4K from real halfwidth katakana (scripts/render_rain.py, Cairo + Pango, Noto Sans CJK JP). The filmic stills are super-resolved from their 1280×720 masters with Real-ESRGAN, then downsampled to 4K.

Lock screen

This theme paints the shell lock chrome green. Pair it with the custom Rain design from Lock Screen Explorer if you have that plugin:

omarchy-shell lock setDesign my-rain

The Rain design hardcodes the hotter cascade green (#00FF41), so the lock stays in-world even if you hop themes. The desktop uses the dimmer CRT accent.

What it themes

Omarchy generates the rest from colors.toml when the theme is applied:

  • Omarchy shell (bar, menus, notifications, OSD, lock chrome)
  • Alacritty, Foot, Ghostty, Kitty
  • Neovim (Aether), Helix, VS Code, Obsidian
  • btop, Chromium
  • Hyprland active border
  • Keyboard RGB (3CBF5C)
  • Icons: Yaru-olive-dark

License

MIT. The cinematic stills are original generations. The rain is original code. The unlock mark is the Omarchy geometry recolored to phosphor green.
