* Pick window transparency from Appearance > Window Transparency
Transparent, the default, keeps today's windows. Opaque turns the windows
Omarchy makes transparent solid. Glassy is the frosted glass Starship
(#14726): its blur behind every see-through window and shell surface, and a
see-through, blurred background in the theme's terminal files, since foot
turns compositor blur down and a Hyprland opacity rule fades text.

* Leave window transparency to Appearance when animations are off
Turning animations off no longer makes windows opaque. VM installs start
with opaque windows instead, and a migration keeps them opaque for anyone
who already has animations off.

* Add a Glassy bar background, under Menu Bar > Bar Background
Menu Bar > Bar Background picks Opaque Bar, Glassy Bar or Clear Bar, and
Indicators becomes Bar Indicators to match. Glassy keeps the theme
background faintly and Hyprland blurs what is behind it, with the same blur
as Glassy windows.
omarchy bar background opaque|glassy|none|cycle sets it and prints it when
given nothing. omarchy bar transparent true|false|toggle stays for
compatibility, as none and opaque. Double-clicking the bar cycles through
the three backgrounds the same way, from clear to glassy to opaque.

A machine without a GPU, like most VMs, renders through llvmpipe on the
CPU, where every animated frame and every translucent window costs. In a
VM, opening and closing a terminal took ~5s of CPU; a panel ~3.4s.
omarchy toggle animations (also under Toggle > Animations) places a Hyprland
flag that turns off animations, blur and shadows and makes windows opaque.
The shell follows Hyprland's animations:enabled, rereading it on every
config reload: its one-shot animations run for Style.duration(ms), which
is then 0, and its spinners, pulses and title marquee hold still. A new
install in a VM starts with the flag in place.
Measured in the ISO test VM (llvmpipe), CPU per interaction:
terminal open+close 5000ms -> 481ms, workspace switch 1670ms -> 409ms,
audio panel 3446ms -> 796ms, volume OSD 2324ms -> 584ms, menu 2028ms ->
1241ms.

Use omarchy-display-text-size 11 instead of a lone GTK text-scaling-factor,
so the XPS 13 nudge moves shell, GTK, and terminal text together.

The 2560x1600 panel on the 2026 XPS 13 (DX13260) renders the default
scaling a touch large. Ports f1fa7f69 from master.

Reorganizes Omarchy 4 around three layers for populating $HOME:
Seed: omarchy-settings ships defaults to /etc/skel; useradd -m
copies them on user creation
Finalize: omarchy-finalize-user (renamed from omarchy-setup-user)
handles only the runtime tweaks /etc/skel can't do — skill
symlinks, xdg-user-dirs, default browser/mailto, vconsole→hypr
keyboard sync, and install/user/all.sh
Resync: omarchy-reinstall-configs is the explicit, destructive
resync of /etc/skel into an existing user's $HOME
Package-owned files move out of config/ into default/, where the
omarchy-settings PKGBUILD installs them to real system paths:
config/environment.d/fcitx.conf -> /usr/lib/environment.d/
config/fontconfig/fonts.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/
config/mimeapps.list -> /usr/share/applications/
config/omarchy.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/omarchy/
config/systemd/user/*.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/
config/uwsm/default -> /usr/share/omarchy/default/uwsm/
config/uwsm/env -> /usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy
config/xdg-terminals.list -> /usr/share/xdg-terminal-exec/
omarchy-upgrade-to-4 grows a 'retire' action (renamed from 'move' to
clarify nothing is copied — the system path is owned by the new package
once the user's hash-matched ~/.config copy is removed). Mismatched
copies are kept as backups so user overrides survive the upgrade.
Other simplifications:
- Single env bootstrap at default/bash/env-bootstrap sourced by
/etc/profile.d/omarchy.sh, /etc/skel/.bashrc,
/usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy, and default/bash/envs. PATH
prepend only in dev-link mode (production uses /usr/bin/omarchy-*).
- omarchy-refresh-config reads from /etc/skel/.config so refresh
means 'snap to skel'.
- omarchy-reinstall-configs collapses to 'cp -af /etc/skel/. ~/'
plus limine/plymouth/nvim refresh.
- omarchy-font-set uses awk against our own 30-omarchy.conf instead
of xmlstarlet; xmlstarlet dropped from omarchy-base.packages.
- Defer user systemd enables (bt-agent, sleep-lock,
recover-internal-monitor) to first-run via
install/user/first-run/enable-user-units.sh; delete
omarchy-user-systemctl-enable and the per-hardware install
scripts that called it.
- Wireplumber bluetooth-a2dp-autoconnect.conf moves to config/ so
/etc/skel ships it; install/user/hardware/bluetooth.sh deleted.
- Default terminal switched to foot.desktop.
- docs/file-layout.md documents the three-layer model and the
build-time repo→path map.
Remove legacy online installer entrypoints, collapse migrations for 4.0, and move setup responsibilities into target-side system, hardware, and user commands.
