Ember n Ash Theme
August 13, 2025 · View on GitHub
A warm, smoky aesthetic — deep charcoals and ashy grays kissed with soft ember light. Designed for those who want their desktop to feel like glowing coals in a fading hearth.
Design Notes
- Subtle warmth: Low-saturation ember tones that never overpower
- Smoky depth: Dark grays with just a hint of brown for richness
- Eyes at ease: Muted contrast for long sessions without strain
- One vision, everywhere: Consistent palette across terminal, bar, lock screen, and notifications
