backgrounds/ was 154 MB. Every user who installs the theme clones all of it, and the six wallpapers were 7664x3284 PNGs -- a flat gradient pattern stored in a format meant for line art, at up to 2.1 bytes per pixel. Re-encoded as webp capped at 4K wide, the directory is 1.6 MB, and a downscaled comparison against the originals differs by an RMSE under 0.6%.
The four terminal configs and neovim.lua were never reaching anyone. omarchy-theme-set stages a theme installed from a git repo through a filter -- stage_installed_theme in bin/omarchy-theme-set -- that drops any *.lua along with alacritty.toml, foot.ini, ghostty.conf, kitty.conf and vscode.json, because each of those names a program to launch or an extension to install. They are regenerated from colors.toml through Omarchy's own templates instead. A theme written by hand in ~/.config/omarchy/themes is unrestricted, which is why these work locally and then do nothing for anyone who installs the theme from GitHub.
Width is capped rather than fitting the images inside a 3840x2160 box, so the ultrawide framing survives at full width on a 4K panel:
magick input.png -strip -resize '3840>' -quality 82 output.webp

Reviewing the Corporate submission on
omacom-io/omarchy-site(#46) turned up two things worth fixing here rather than there. The site pull request itself is fine — its preview is a correct 1200x675 webp at 98 KB.backgrounds/was 154 MB.

This is the one worth knowing about, because nothing on your machine would have shown it to you.omarchy-theme-setstages a theme that came from a git clone through a filter —stage_installed_themeinbin/omarchy-theme-set— which drops any*.luaalong with those four terminal configs andvscode.json, since each one names a program the terminal launches or an extension to install. Omarchy regenerates them from yourcolors.tomlthrough its own templates. A theme you wrote by hand in~/.config/omarchy/themesis unrestricted, so these work when you test locally and then do nothing for anyone who installs the theme from GitHub. Your palette is unaffected:colors.tomlis what drives every generated config.If you want a setting that survives,
~/.config/omarchy/themed/<file>.tploverrides the template Omarchy generates from — that is per-user rather than per-theme, which is the trade.Reproduce the re-encode with:
magick input.png -strip -resize '3840>' -quality 82 output.webpNothing else is touched — the palette, the README and the theme's own choices are as you left them. Reviewed by Opus 5; no second model checked this one.
