Features

• Modern: Modern, content-first UI design with a clean layout and elegant animations.

• Theme Switcher: Built-in theme switcher with seamless switching between Auto (system), Light, and Dark modes.
• Floating Toolbar: Clickable button icons for quick access to frequently used pages.

Compatibility

• OpenWrt: Requires OpenWrt 23.05.0 or later, as the theme uses ucode templates and LuCI JavaScript APIs.
• Browsers: Built with TailwindCSS v4. Compatible with the following modern browsers:
  • Chrome/Edge 111+ (released March 2023)
  • Safari 16.4+ (released March 2023)
  • Firefox 128+ (released July 2024)

Installation

Run these commands on the router itself (e.g. over an SSH session).

Via the eamonxg package feed

OpenWrt 25.12+ and snapshots use apk; other versions use opkg:

Tip

: You can confirm your package manager by running opkg --version or apk --version. If it returns output (not "not found"), that's your package manager.

wget -qO- https://openwrt.eamonxg.fun/install.sh | sh

• opkg (OpenWrt < 25.12):

  opkg install luci-theme-aurora
  

• apk (OpenWrt 25.12+ and snapshots):

  apk add luci-theme-aurora
  

Adds the feed once; later updates are just opkg update && opkg install luci-theme-aurora / apk update && apk add luci-theme-aurora — no re-downloading the file. Details: openwrt.eamonxg.fun.

Via a GitHub release

cd /tmp

# opkg
uclient-fetch -O luci-theme-aurora.ipk https://github.com/eamonxg/luci-theme-aurora/releases/latest/download/luci-theme-aurora_1.1.0-r20260711_all.ipk
opkg install luci-theme-aurora.ipk

# apk
uclient-fetch -O luci-theme-aurora.apk https://github.com/eamonxg/luci-theme-aurora/releases/latest/download/luci-theme-aurora-1.1.0-r20260711.apk
apk add --allow-untrusted luci-theme-aurora.apk

Build from source

Build the package yourself with the OpenWrt build system. Host prerequisites: Build system setup. The build writes the package to bin/packages/<arch>/base/ (e.g. bin/packages/x86_64/base/luci-theme-aurora_*_all.ipk); copy it to your router and install it as above.

Via the full source tree or SDK

Get set up — clone the full source tree:

# Full source tree — the openwrt-24.10 branch builds an .ipk, the main branch builds an .apk
git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
git checkout openwrt-24.10

Or the prebuilt SDK (faster: skips building the toolchain). Grab the archive for your target from downloads.openwrt.org, which splits SDKs into Release and Snapshot builds — Release 24.10.x and earlier build .ipk; Release 25.12+ and Snapshot build .apk (filename, arch and compression vary by target):

wget <sdk-archive-url-from-downloads.openwrt.org>
tar -xf openwrt-sdk-*.tar.*
cd openwrt-sdk-*/

Then, from that directory:

# Add this package and install feeds (provides luci-base)
git clone https://github.com/eamonxg/luci-theme-aurora.git package/luci-theme-aurora
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

# Select the theme in menuconfig: LuCI → Themes → luci-theme-aurora
make menuconfig

# Skip these two lines with the SDK — it already ships a built toolchain
make tools/install -j$(nproc)
make toolchain/install -j$(nproc)

make package/luci-theme-aurora/compile -j$(nproc) V=s

Contributing

Aurora uses Vite and a modern front-end toolchain, and is experimenting with end-to-end AI integration across the full development workflow. See Development Documentation to get started. Suggestions and PRs are always welcome.
