Backgrounds

Every theme ships with its own set of backgrounds, and you can add extras of your own in ~/.config/omarchy/backgrounds/[theme]. If you want to add an extra background image to, say, the nord theme, you just put the file in ~/.config/omarchy/backgrounds/nord.

You can do this most easily by going to Install > Style > Background in the Omarchy Menu. That’ll bring up the folder where the backgrounds for that theme is stored. Hit Super + Shift + F to start another file manager, find your background, copy it over. Now it’ll be included in the choices of backgrounds you can select between using Super + Ctrl + Space.

You can find a huge collection of cool curated backgrounds on https://github.com/dharmx/walls.
