v2026.10.30: Batch 1 (four new themes)

Batch 1 of the weekly Friday releases. Nothing existing was changed.

Theme Look Mode
Handheld Four-shade green LCD in a dark casing. Chunky monospace text, dithered title bars, square keycap buttons that sink when pressed, dashed alerts. Uses exactly four greens. Light
Nixie Glowing orange digits on dark brass. Engraved brass plates with rivets, glass-tube meters with a glowing filament, a flickering tube clock. Dark
Subway A transit map. The top menu is a set of coloured lines with station dots, sections hang off a route line, meters end in a station dot. Light
Chalkboard Matte slate with chalk lettering. Hand-drawn wobbly boxes, chalk-stroke meters, a wooden rail and ledge. Dark

Install

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vistrocity/openwrt-luci-themes/main/install.sh | sh -s handheld
# or: nixie | subway | chalkboard

Then hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). Back to the default: System > System > Language and Style.

Notes

  • All four respect prefers-reduced-motion (Nixie's tube flicker stops), have visible keyboard focus styles, and were checked at 390px width for horizontal overflow.
  • Chalkboard's lettering uses the system handwriting font (Segoe Print, Bradley Hand, Chalkboard SE, Comic Neue or the generic cursive), so it looks different per device. Body text stays a normal sans for readability.
  • Tooling: tools/new-theme.sh, tools/screenshots.sh, tools/check-theme.sh, tools/test-install.sh; install.sh gained REF=, OWT_TARBALL= and GITHUB_TOKEN= options. README gallery and counts are generated from tools/themes.tsv.
  • Screenshots use mock data only.

Release steps (done): merge release/2026-11-06 into main, then tag v2026.10.30 and create the GitHub release from this file.
