Alucard: a light theme for Omarchy (and the arch-enemy of Dracula)

The road to get everything working beautifully

The wallpapers

The repository

The installation Since January, I've been using my own light theme for Omarchy (do you use Linux and don't know Omarchy yet? Go check it out!) and I forgot to make an official announcement! So, yes, this late post is an attempt to rectify this mistake. I'm a die hard fan of the Dracula theme and I have been using it for years. And, as you might have guessed, I've been using everything I could with a dark theme. But, I have moved to a new house, which is super illuminated by the sun throughout the day with massive windows and, using dark themes with so much natural light proved to be a difficult task. Omarchy (my Linux distro of choice) comes very well served of beautiful themes and I started to use either Flexoki Light or Catppuccin Latte during the day. Yet, neither were quite my taste and I knew there were already a light version of the Dracula theme called Alucard that was offered by their Pro package. When I went to their website to check it out, I found out a quite complete specification for the Dracula and the Alucard theme, so, I did what any developer who loves open source do: I scratched my own itch, I mean, I started working on the Alucard theme for Omarchy and I have been using it everyday since January. When I started digging into the specification and building the theme, I found out a lot of applications (Alacritty, btop, Chromium, Ghostty, and Kitty) didn't had official Alucard themes, so I started building them myself (I yet have to create single repositories for them and open a PR to the Dracula team, I'll be doing it shortly). It took a few iterations for me to get satisfied with the color combinations, but everything worked beautifully. Currenttly, the theme is distributed with three wallpapers: Dracula Waves, Dracula Mountain, and Dracula Galaxy, all of which were taken from the official Dracula wallpapers repository. I simply love the Dracula Waves walppaper and that's why it's the first choice when you install the theme. All the code is available at douglasdemoura/omarchy-alucard-theme.
