Omarchy Manual's Extra Themes page currently showcases 109 themes of which roughly half (53 themes) do not have a colors.toml file and therefore they do not support the newer Omarchy templating engine that generates application themes in ~/.config/omarchy/themed.

Idea is to add fallback for such legacy themes that reconstructs colors.toml in case it is missing using colors defined in alacritty.toml (which is always present).

I've run an exhaustive test on each of 53 legacy themes and found no issues with all but one theme (Midnight theme, missing part of the palette).

P.S. Two themes listed on the Extra Themes page have already been deleted from GitHub -- Green Hakkar and Torrentz Hydra are gone.


Inspiration: Omazed project (Zed theme generator for Omarchy).
