Campfire — an Omarchy theme

A night by the lake: moonlight, pines and the fire. The palette is sampled from the scene of OmaFire by Wes Grimes, and the wallpaper is a frame of his fire burning in that scene. Made by OmarchyTV; the same theme on the TV (Android TV, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen), with OmaFire as the live wallpaper, is coming in the next OmarchyTV version.

Install on your Omarchy PC

Tested on Omarchy 4.5 RC.

omarchy-theme-install https://github.com/piermark/omarchy-campfire-theme

Or by hand: copy this folder to ~/.config/omarchy/themes/campfire/, then run

omarchy-theme-set campfire

(or pick campfire from Omarchy's theme menu).

The fire burning on your desktop (once)

Omarchy wallpapers are still images, so the theme brings a 60-second loop of the fire and a small helper. Run once:

~/.config/omarchy/themes/campfire/extras/install-live

It installs mpvpaper (AUR, with yay), starts the fire behind your windows, and from then on it burns at every login while the theme is campfire; pick another theme and it stops, come back and it burns again.

• With sound (the fire crackling and the night around the lake): extras/install-live --sound · back to silent: extras/install-live --mute
• Undo it all (the theme stays): extras/install-live --remove
• It is a 1800×1010 H.264 video, decoded by the GPU where it can: about 4 % of one CPU core and ~220 MB of memory on the PC it was tested on. It plays all the time, so check btop on an old PC.

The loop is drawn by OmaFire's own fire code and his sounds (crackle, embers, roar, crickets, frogs), cut so the end flows into the start.

What it themes

• colors.toml: the Omarchy palette (terminal, Waybar, Walker, Mako, Hyprlock and the rest through Omarchy's templates)
• hyprland.conf: the active window border burns from fire orange to embers
• btop.theme, icons.theme (Yaru), backgrounds/01-campfire.png, preview.png
• extras/: campfire-loop.mp4, campfire-live (the theme-set hook), install-live

On the TV, OmarchyTV shows the campfire as the live wallpaper of this theme; turn on Wallpaper → OmaFire sound for the crackle and the night. OmaFire itself, the interactive campfire by Wes Grimes for Omarchy, is here: https://github.com/wesleygrimes/omafire

With OmarchyTV (next version, coming soon)

With omarchy-link paired, the TV and the PC follow each other: pick campfire on the PC and the TV switches (and the other way round, with the TV switch "Also change the PC theme"). The TV's random wallpaper sometimes brings the fire with this theme too.
