Remove the carousel's fade and geometry transitions, hold the reveal until every visible preview has decoded and two frames have pre-rendered (falling back to revealing anyway after 400ms), and drop the fullscreen scrim and its theme tokens so the picker sits directly on the desktop. Only Escape is accepted before the picker is visible.
The canonical colors.toml keys are now background/foreground, including
all permutations (dark_background, darker_background, lighter_background,
dark_foreground, light_foreground, bright_foreground). The old short
names are gone entirely, not kept as aliases; legacy alacritty-generated
themes still resolve through the ANSI color0/color7 fallback.
Theme files are also regrouped: accent/selection/muted first, then the
backgrounds, then the foregrounds, then the named colors.

The three components were three takes on the same shape \u2014 a clickable
rectangle with text/icon, a hot/hover state, an optional persistent
border, and an optional 'selected' or 'active' highlight. CursorPill
was a 30-line PillButton wrapper that added a hovered() signal;
ChoiceButton was effectively PillButton with selected: bool painting
an accent fill+border.
Collapse them into a single qs.Ui.Button. State flags compose
independently:
hasCursor / hover hot fill
active persistent foreground-tint fill
selected accent fill + accent border
bordered: true persistent 1px idle border (form primaries)
focusable: true Tab focus paints the accent ring
pressed pressed fill
The hovered(bool) signal is now built-in, so CursorPill's wrapper is
unnecessary. ButtonGroup wraps a Row+Repeater for the form-style
'pick one of N' pattern; panel-cursor-driven cases still compose
Buttons directly in a Row with per-instance hasCursor wiring.
Theme tokens move into a new [style] section in shell.toml:
border-width = 1
focus-border-width = 3
idle-border-alpha = 0.4
hot-fill-alpha = 0.08
selected-fill-alpha = 0.18
pressed-fill-alpha = 0.22
focus-fill-alpha = 0.22
Style.qml parses these out of the same shell.toml [font] / [bar]
already reads, and exposes pre-computed Style.hotFill / selectedFill /
pressedFill / idleBorderColor / selectedAccentFill / borderWidth +
the existing focusBorder* tokens. Themes that don't ship a [style]
section get the previous defaults unchanged.
Dev gallery consolidates three sections (PillButton, CursorPill,
ChoiceButton) into Button + ButtonGroup, with the cursor model
sections renamed accordingly.
Themes now drive typography the same way they drive colors: one [font]
base-size in shell.toml is the rem root, and every Style.font.<token>
(caption, bodySmall, body, subtitle, title, heading, display,
displayLarge, iconSmall, icon, iconLarge) derives from it via a fixed
multiplier. Themes can also pin individual tokens for stylistic
emphasis. base-size is clamped 11..13 until row-height tokens exist.
Bar dimensions move to the same singleton: [bar] size-horizontal /
size-vertical replace the hardcoded 26/28 in Bar.qml, exposed as
Style.bar.sizeHorizontal / sizeVertical.
Style.qml also resolves the fontconfig 'monospace' alias via fc-match
and exposes Style.font.resolvedFamily so panels can display the
concrete family. Watches ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf so it tracks
'omarchy font set <name>'.
The qs.Ui kit (PillButton, Dropdown, Toggle, TextField, etc.) and
every first-party plugin (bar widgets, settings, menu, clipboard,
emoji, polkit, notifications, osd, image-picker, dev-gallery) now
bind to Style.font.* instead of pixel literals. Only three deliberate
display-scale outliers remain: the notification empty-state glyph and
the weather flyout's hero temperature pair, all commented.
Background plugin's applyTheme IPC fast-path also pushes shell.toml to
Style so theme swaps update typography and bar size without waiting
for inotify debounce.
Dev gallery (omarchy dev ui-preview) now ships a Typography section
that renders the full scale and theme tokens live, and its summon
command is fixed (omarchy-shell-ipc -> omarchy-shell).
Keep only the non-obvious bits: the override mechanism, what counts as
"active" on the bar, the flyout text-color constraint, the
notifications-border convention, and the image-picker alpha modulation.
Drop comments that just restated the key names.
Five plugins each owned their own colors.toml watcher with subtly
different parsers, plus two ad-hoc per-theme override files
(notifications.json, image-picker-colors.json). This collapses all of
that into one source of truth: Commons/Color.qml watches colors.toml +
shell.toml and exposes Color.bar.*, Color.popups.*, Color.notifications.*,
Color.menu.*, Color.imagePicker.* for every surface to bind to.
shell.toml is generated by the existing template pipeline from
default/themed/shell.toml.tpl. Themes can ship their own shell.toml to
override individual keys; everything missing falls back to the
foundational palette via root.pick(). Settings panel is intentionally
not themable beyond the foundational tokens.
last-horizon and solitude ship a minimal shell.toml to preserve their
historical 'notification border matches Hyprland active border'
behavior, which previously came from parsing the theme's hyprland.conf
(now removed).
