Greetings aesthetic enjoyers,

I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to share that I have updated my themes to ensure compatibility with the ever-evolving Omarchy Linux system.

The first major change is, we have migrated to an updated version of the *omarchy-theme-hook* to support more applications and better compatibility so all your themes sync with beautiful colours. Because this is an optional installation, it does not come with themes themselves.

If you currently have the *omarchy-theme-hook* installed, you would need to uninstall it in order to use the new one:

curl -fsSL https://imbypass.github.io/omarchy-theme-hook/uninstall.sh | bash

You can install the new Omarchy hook-system here:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OldJobobo/theme-hook-plugin-manager/thpm/install.sh | bash

- GitHub Reference: https://github.com/OldJobobo/theme-hook-plugin-manager

After installing the new `theme-hook-plugin-manager`, you can just load any of your current themes and they will load across the system as usual.

Lastly, I would like add a spotlight on some of my themes:
- Aetheria, a fan favorite, is still topping the charts!
- Moon-Orbit [v2] (released today), my current favorite.
I also have Beta and Base16-Tarot, for those who love bold colors and Lilly and Deep-Solar, for those who want a more relaxed feel.

All my themes are available on GitHub: https://github.com/JJDizz1L

Take care and keep being creative!
