Amber Glass Phosphor

Amber Glass Phosphor is a dark, CRT-inspired theme for Obsidian. It is intended to bring my vision of a retro-futuristic interface to Obsidian while remaining easy on the eyes and helping with concentration. Multicolored headings make navigation quicker. Amber Glass Phosphor preview
