Commodore 64 for Omarchy

READY. The sixteen VIC-II colours dithered into a dusk, plus raster bars for the demo scene.

Part of the Squatchware Retro Pack: six Omarchy themes for the machines that raised us. Keep an eye out for the squatch.

Install

omarchy theme install https://github.com/squatchware/omarchy-c64-theme

What's in it

• Colours for everything Omarchy themes (terminals, Hyprland, the shell, btop, editors…), generated by Omarchy from colors.toml. Every text colour clears 4.5:1 on its background.
• Wallpapers in the machine's own palette and drawing style, at today's pixel density, with room left for your windows:
• 01-dusk.png
• 02-raster.png
• Boot splash and lock screen (unlock.png): the machine's own start-up screen.
• Screensaver art (screensaver.txt), animated by Omarchy's screensaver.

Extras

The screensaver and boot splash need one command each (the second asks for sudo):

~/.config/omarchy/themes/c64/extras/install-extras.sh          # screensaver
~/.config/omarchy/themes/c64/extras/install-extras.sh --boot   # + boot splash

The screensaver hook is shared by every Squatchware theme: it uses the active theme's art and puts your own back when you switch to a theme without any. The boot splash stays until you run omarchy plymouth set by theme <name> for another theme.

The rest of the pack

• Apple II: Green on black, with hi-res line art in the six colours the Apple II could make.
• Teletext: Page 100: eight broadcast colours and chunky mosaic graphics, with a skyline to match.
• Nixie: Neon-orange cathodes behind glass, brass and bronze fittings, warm smoky black.
• Phosphor Green: A P1 green monochrome monitor: glow, scanlines and a boot screen that takes its time.
• Phosphor Amber: A P3 amber monochrome monitor: the warm one, easy on the eyes after midnight.
