Also known as: Inume Opencode Retro Themes.

Inume Retro Themes is a collection of 13 free, MIT-licensed themes for OpenCode, the open-source terminal AI coding agent (TUI). Each theme recreates the look of classic hardware and software — Windows 95, Norton Commander, IBM phosphor terminals, the CGA palette, PlayStation 1 and 2, the Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy, Famicom, and SNES, PCB circuit boards, and worn neon — packaged as JSON theme files you drop into ~/.config/opencode/themes/. They work on OpenCode 1.x and 2.x, in dark and light mode, and were last tested with OpenCode 2.0.21 (October 2026).
Every theme is checked on each push by scripts/validate.js: it must use the OpenCode theme $schema, define all 50 color tokens with dark and light variants (OpenCode 2 silently ignores themes that miss some of them), and keep key text/background pairs at a contrast ratio of at least 1.8:1. That ratio is a legibility floor, not a WCAG accessibility check.

Download a single theme straight into your OpenCode themes folder. Replace theme-name with any theme from the table above:
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/themes curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gianlucabernasconi/Inume-Opencode-Retro-Themes/main/themes/theme-name.json \ -o ~/.config/opencode/themes/theme-name.json
Clone the repo and run the installer to pick themes interactively or install them all:
git clone https://github.com/Gianlucabernasconi/Inume-Opencode-Retro-Themes.git cd Inume-Opencode-Retro-Themes ./install.sh # interactive picker ./install.sh all # install every theme ./install.sh cga w95-classic # install specific themes ./install.sh --project all # install into ./.opencode/themes instead
Inside OpenCode, run /themes to open the theme selector ("Switch theme"), then pick your theme from the list by name (the file name without .json):
/themes
Or set it as your default theme in cli.json (OpenCode 2.x):
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/v2/cli.json",
"theme": { "name": "theme-name" }
}On OpenCode 1.x, the default theme goes in tui.json instead:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
"theme": "theme-name"
}OpenCode 2.x reads tui.json only once, to migrate it into cli.json.
OpenCode loads custom themes from ~/.config/opencode/themes/, <project-root>/.opencode/themes/, and ./.opencode/themes/. Later directories take precedence.
