- `manifest.json` declares the plugin (`id: omarchy.bar`, `kind: bar`) and points at `Bar.qml` as the entry point.
- `Bar.qml` is Omarchy-owned bar engine code, loaded by the omarchy-shell host. Users should not edit it directly.
- `widgets/` holds first-party bar widgets.
- `../panels/` holds first-party panels that the bar can toggle by id.
- `widgets/` holds simple first-party bar widgets with sibling manifests.
- Feature plugins such as `../audio/`, `../network/`, and `../power/` provide richer popup bar widgets.
- The bar receives its config from the host shell as a `barConfig` property; the host loads it from `~/.config/omarchy/shell.json` (or `shell-defaults.json` when the user has no file).
- `omarchy-style-bar-position` updates only the user shell.json file.

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. Multiple `omarchy.indicators` instances are allowed, so different sections can show different subsets. Rich popup widgets such as `omarchy.power`, `omarchy.network`, and `omarchy.audio` live in `../panels/` above.

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`
