Omarchy Kimiko Theme

XIX century newspaper bursts into a night of neon greens and purples, when expression demands.
A theme for Omarchy based on my 2011 vim colorscheme

What

Now updated for Omarchy 3.4: colors.toml based, with overrides

• custom nvim colorscheme
  • strings that are violet, not green
  • 36 distinct colours and shades, mostly of medium contrast
  • optimised and tested for practicality
  • honed through 15 years of primary use
    • though highly opinionated
• waybar colours - calmly informative
• mako colours - for calm, unitrusive notifications
• walker colours - saturated immediacy
• btop theme - meaningful colours, without being too distracting
• hyprlock theme - black with neon lines
  • looks particularly good on OLED
• 16 terminal colours not far off their canon names
  • improving compatibility with a wide range of TUIs
• original backgrounds
  • primary at 6K resolution

Installation

Origin

As of March 2026, this has been single-author work, including the wallpapers. I took and edited the photos, I wrote the vim theme over 15 years. It was for my selfish practical and aesthetic desires - while the repo has long been public, I didn't really expect anyone else to use it.

As Omarchy was launching, the time came for me to return to contributing to the wonderful Gift Exchange. And I found that despite many great themes emerging, I still needed my old vim colours.

So, I've made this omarchy + nvim edition to share, hopefully some of you may find it useful.

Comments, help, and contributions are very welcome

Optional font

The current theme files do not rely on it at all, though the theme looks well with the official Go Lang font, Go Mono [1] - for that old typeface, almost Baskerville-like look.
