# Theme format

riso reads and writes a theme format that originated in
[Omarchy](https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy): the `colors.toml` palette with
its semantic key names, the template dialect, and the rule that files a theme
ships take precedence over generated ones.

Implementing it rather than inventing another one is a deliberate choice. A
theme is work, and two incompatible formats would only mean that work gets done
twice. Credit for the design goes to that project and its contributors; Omarchy
is MIT licensed.

riso's implementation is its own, and so is where it goes from here.
