Without defaultSection, both 'omarchy bar defaults' and 'omarchy plugin add' fall back to center, so upgrades landed Tailscale next to the clock instead of alongside the other status widgets. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tailscale Omarchy Widget

tailscaleCLI onPATHwl-copyfor clipboard copy actions- Taildrop enabled for the tailnet, to send files
Receiving files
Incoming Taildrop files are saved to ~/Downloads by the
omarchy-tailscale-receive service, which announces each one with a
notification (an image preview when the file is an image, and a click to open
it). The Tailscale service install enables it; omarchy tailscale receive
runs the same loop by hand.
Icon
Renders the Tailscale mark natively as a theme-colored 3×3 dot grid, matching the official SVG silhouette while avoiding tiny-SVG rendering quirks in the bar.
Add to the bar
This widget ships as first-party plugin omarchy.tailscale. Add it with omarchy plugin enable omarchy.tailscale, then place it with omarchy bar move omarchy.tailscale if desired.
