Apply theme:
```
omarchy-theme-set my-theme
```

Instructions

When creating or modifying Omarchy themes:

Always define all 22 color variables in colors.toml - missing variables cause errors
Use HEX format only (#RRGGBB) - no RGB, HSL, or named colors
Include backgrounds/ directory with at least one wallpaper image
For light themes, create empty light.mode file in theme directory
Test with omarchy-theme-set after changes

For detailed variable usage per application, see reference.md.
