Broadsheet / Newsprint — Omarchy Theme 📰
A dark ink-on-cream newspaper desktop theme for Omarchy. Inspired by 19th-century broadsheet front pages inverted to dark mode — pressroom red mastheads, aged newsprint textures, and column rules on a near-black press room floor.
The palette pairs Aged Newsprint (#E8E3D5) typography and active borders with deep Press Room Night (#1A1918) surfaces, Faded Graphite (#6A6560) halftones, and Bright Pressroom Red (#C44040) accents. Features razor-sharp 0px pixel geometry and a themed Plymouth boot screen with newspaper masthead artwork.
