-The `omarchy.indicators` widget loads individual bar indicators from `indicators/`. Omit `items` (or set it to an empty array) to show all indicators in the default order, or set `items` to a subset such as `["Dnd", "NightLight"]`. Set `alwaysShow` to `true` to keep inactive indicators visible instead of revealing them only on hover.

+The `omarchy.indicators` widget loads individual bar indicators from `indicators/`. Omit `items` (or set it to an empty array) to show all indicators in the default order, or set `items` to a subset such as `["Dnd", "NightLight"]`.

-First-party bar widgets live in `widgets/<Name>.qml`; richer popup widgets
-live in `../panels/<Name>.qml` and expose IPC targets such as
-`panels.audio`. Bar layout ids are namespaced, e.g. `omarchy.audio`,
-`omarchy.network`, and `omarchy.clock`. Legacy UpperCamelCase ids such as
-`AudioPanel` and `Clock` are still accepted as aliases, but new configs should
-use the namespaced ids.
+First-party bar widgets are manifest-backed just like third-party widgets.
+Simple widgets carry sibling manifests such as `widgets/Clock.manifest.json`;
+richer popup widgets live in feature directories such as `../audio/` and
+`../network/`; and feature plugins such as `omarchy.menu`, `omarchy.media`, and
+`omarchy.notifications` declare their bar-widget entry points in their own
+`manifest.json`. Bar layout ids are namespaced, e.g. `omarchy.audio`,
+`omarchy.network`, and `omarchy.clock`. Older UpperCamelCase ids such as
+`AudioPanel` and `Clock` are migrated forward; new configs should use the
+namespaced ids.
 
 Third-party widgets ship as separate plugins under
 `~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/` with their own `manifest.json`
