Intaglio — 1-bit fine print and Bayer dither theme for Omarchy

01README

Intaglio — Omarchy Theme 🏛️

A 1-bit fine print and Bayer dither desktop theme for Omarchy. Inspired by the classical art of intaglio copperplate engraving and early 1984 Macintosh computing designed by Susan Kare.

The palette pairs high-contrast Paper White (#F4F4EE) typography and active borders with deep Matte Ink Black (#101112) surfaces, textured Slate Halftones (#666666), and traditional archival inks (Stamp Red, Seal Amber, Faded Cobalt). Features razor-sharp 0px pixel geometry and an active real-time GLSL Bayer dither shader for desktop media.
