Omarchy Japan Night Theme

A dark anime night theme for Omarchy — Japanese night cityscapes with a deep ocean-blue palette extracted from the wallpapers.

All wallpapers are dark night scenes, matching the theme's atmosphere.

• japan-night-street-dim.jpg — empty city street at night with stars over buildings and trees
• japan-night-moon-dim.jpg — anime city street at night with the moon
• japan-night-1.jpg to japan-night-4.jpg — additional night scenes (AI-generated)

Requires an Omarchy installation. Install and apply the theme in one command:

omarchy theme install https://github.com/devgtv/omarchy-japan-night-theme.git

Or, from a terminal:

# Clone to ~/.config/omarchy/themes/japan-night and apply automatically
omarchy theme install git@github.com:devgtv/omarchy-japan-night-theme.git

The theme is applied automatically after install. To apply it manually later:

omarchy theme set japan-night

Running omarchy theme set japan-night generates color configurations for:

• Terminals — Alacritty, Foot, Kitty, Ghostty
• Neovim / LazyVim — via the aether.nvim colorscheme with the Japan Night palette
• btop, helix, vscode, obsidian, tmux
• Omarchy shell — bar, widgets, notifications
• GTK / Qt apps (including Nautilus), Firefox, Zen, Discord, Spotify, Steam and more

Nautilus follows the dark GTK theme automatically, but the repo ships a hook that adds explicit Nautilus styling so folders and files stay clearly visible on the dark background. Install it with:

omarchy hook install theme-set hooks/nautilus-theme.sh

Then re-apply the theme to generate the CSS and restart Nautilus:

omarchy theme set japan-night

The hook appends Nautilus overrides to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css on every theme change.

Backgrounds for this theme (stock or custom) can be added to ~/.config/omarchy/backgrounds/japan-night/ or the theme directory ~/.config/omarchy/themes/japan-night/backgrounds/, then cycle with:

omarchy theme bg next

• Michael91 — helper and reviewer: identified why the Nautilus hook did not run under the plain hook runner and contributed the marker-based, idempotent CSS approach.
• im001 — thanks a lot for the feedback and support!

Thank you both for helping make this theme better!
