Basecamp, Discord, HEY, Google Contacts/Maps/Messages/Photos,
WhatsApp, and X lose their shipped launchers, webapp keybindings,
and the whatsapp-slim extension; aether, libreoffice-fresh, and
obs-studio leave the base package set. The HEY mailto handler and
its registration go with them. Preinstall add/remove lists, the
launcher hide list, and chromium flags stay in sync.

fcitx5-rime, fcitx5-chinese-addons, and fcitx5-configtool join the
base package set, and a provisioning step seeds the Rime profile and
CJK fontconfig for users on systems whose locale is zh_CN, so Chinese
input works at first boot without omarchycn setup.

* Switch back to the packaged quickshell now that 0.3.1 kills synchronously
Omarchy shipped the quickshell-git build for a single fix: 0.3.0's `kill` returned before the instance had exited, so the kill loop in omarchy-restart-shell could race a dying shell. Upstream 0.3.1 ships that fix, which makes extra/quickshell the better package to be on again — signed, versioned, and not rebuilt from a moving branch on every update.
The migration swaps unconditionally instead of first checking which version the mirror offers. A machine left holding quickshell-git while the shipped package list names quickshell has no way to reconcile the two: omarchy-reinstall-pkgs installs that list with --needed, which does not skip a name that is not installed, and the conflict it then walks into has no answer under --noconfirm. A mirror that is briefly behind installs 0.3.0 instead and the next upgrade carries it to 0.3.1, which is much the cheaper way to be wrong.

* Drop the quickshell version note from the shell restart loop
The comment qualified the kill loop as needing 0.3.1 or newer, but omarchy-restart-shell ships in the same package upgrade that brings quickshell along, so a machine running this code already has the version the loop depends on. The caveat could never be false where it was read, which left it as version archaeology rather than something the code could not say for itself.

* Decode webp in the shell
The background and the lock screen are drawn by Quickshell, so they
decode through Qt, which ships handlers for png, jpeg and gif but not
webp. QImageReader answers "Unsupported image format" and the layer
comes up blank. Any third-party theme shipping a .webp background hits
this today, even though every path that goes looking for a background
already globs the extension.
qt6-imageformats supplies the missing plugin for 71 KB downloaded. Its
one new dependency of substance, libwebp, is already on every machine
by way of libvips.

* Store theme backgrounds as webp
WebP codes both of the things these backgrounds are made of better than
the formats they were in: the photographs, where its lossy mode is worth
a third or more over JPEG at matched quality, and the flat art and dot
patterns, where its lossless mode undercuts an oxipng-packed PNG.
28 of them become lossless webp and decode bit-for-bit identically
(AE=0), so the dot patterns and flat-shaded pieces carry no quality
question at all. That includes 0-launch, whose alpha channel comes
through intact. The other 51 are photographs held to the same 38 dB
PSNR floor as the JPEG pass, landing between 38.0 and 54.6 dB. Every
image keeps its exact pixel dimensions, for 29.8 MB.
Each one is encoded from the original as it stands in quattro rather
than from the file the earlier commits produced, so nothing picks up a
second generation of loss on the way here.
13 stay JPEG. WebP is plainly larger for most of them, and three are
grainy enough that its filter smooths the grain instead of coding it:
PSNR plateaus near 34 dB however high the quality goes, well under the
floor.

* Switch to the mise-bin package
mise-bin carries mise's own release artifacts from the Omarchy repo --
PGO+BOLT-optimized on x86_64, glibc-native on both arches -- instead of
Arch's mise, and tracks jdx/mise releases directly.
Existing installs need a migration because the two packages conflict, and
omarchy-pkg-add cannot make the swap: pacman answers its own conflict
question with No under --noconfirm and fails the transaction. --ask=4
answers that one question, so mise-bin replaces mise in a single
transaction -- which is also what keeps omarchy-zsh and omarchy-fish, both
of which depend on mise, satisfied through the swap by its provides.
* Guard the swap with a conditional instead of an early exit
Two-path control flow takes an if, per the style guide; the early exit only made the swap line unreachable from a distance.
Select a screen region and decode the QR code in it to the clipboard, so
an otpauth:// setup code shown on screen no longer needs a phone.
The decoded value is only ever placed on the clipboard, and marked
sensitive so clipboard history skips it. Decoding is restricted to QR so
a stray barcode elsewhere on screen can't take the clipboard instead.

Thumbnails were generated one ImageMagick process at a time. Queue the
missing ones and drain them across every core with vipsthumbnail, which
decodes and encodes faster and lets the per-process startup overlap.
Cold cache for a 92 wallpaper directory drops from 14.2s to 1.3s, and

* Swap terminaltexteffects for ttfx
ttfx is a Rust port of terminaltexteffects that renders byte-identical
frames as a single dependency-free binary. Same option names, defaults,
and exit codes, so every invocation here is unchanged apart from the
command name.
The screensaver runs at --frame-rate 120 with --random-effect. On a
fullscreen canvas Python cannot hold that for the heavier effects
(beams: 14.1 ms/frame against an 8.3 ms budget, so ~71fps); ttfx renders
the same effect at 564fps. Startup drops from ~107 ms to ~1 ms, and the
base image no longer needs Python for the screensaver.

* Ship herdr with a config that mirrors our tmux setup
Installs herdr through the mise shim, ships the matching config as an
Omarchy default, and adds the usual refresh/restart pair. The keybindings
map tmux sessions to workspaces, windows to tabs, and keep both the prefix
and direct bindings from config/tmux/tmux.conf.

* Add herdr versions of the tmux dev layout functions
hdl, hds, hdlm, and hsl drive herdr through its socket API instead of

Route brightness through the focused Hyprland monitor so internal panels keep using the kernel backlight while compatible external displays use DDC/CI. Preserve the Apple Display backend and leave brightness unavailable when the focused display cannot be controlled.

* Add Wi-Fi QR sharing to network panel
* Refine Wi-Fi QR sharing
* Use QR glyph for Wi-Fi sharing
* Add click-to-reveal password to the Wi-Fi share card
Scanning the QR is the fast path, but the person typing on a laptop needs
the actual password. A dimmed "Show password" hint under the QR toggles
the secret in place.
The password stays out of the shell until asked for: a click runs the new
omarchy-network-password helper (a private pipe, never an argument), and
closing the card drops it again. Open and enterprise networks never show
the control.
The card loses its Close button -- Escape and clicking outside already
cover it -- and now sizes itself to its content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Keep a dismissed Wi-Fi share card closed and make Escape reliable
Closing the card mid-generation killed the helper, but its buffered
stdout still arrived and repopulated the matrix, reopening the card the
user just closed. Both collectors now honor qrExpectedStop, and the flag
survives onExited because exit and stream-finished have no guaranteed
order. The password fetch gets the same treatment so a reveal in flight
during dismissal can't stash the secret into a closed card's state.
The content's focus was claimed while the window was still unmapped, so
Escape could land nowhere. Re-acquire it after mapping, the way
KeyboardPanel does.

* Share WEP networks correctly and restore the QR quiet zone
NetworkManager models WEP as key-mgmt "none" plus a wep-key, so the QR
helper encoded WEP networks as open -- a QR that scans fine and then
silently fails to join. Encode them as T:WEP and let the password helper
print the key.
Also widen qrencode's margin from 2 to the spec's 4-module quiet zone;
the card surround is dark, so that white border is all a scanner gets.

Kvantum is a QStyle plugin, so it only ever painted the three QWidget
apps we ship, and it painted them with its own stock look: Omarchy has
never shipped a .kvconfig, so nothing about it tracked the active theme.
Without it Qt falls back to built-in Fusion while the palette still comes
from QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3, so everything stays dark and now follows
the theme instead of ignoring it. Measured across a full 1920x1080 frame,
dropping it moves obs-studio by 132 pixels -- it overrides the platform
style with its own stylesheet anyway -- kdenlive by 0.8%, and the
Hyprland share picker by 4.7%. Flatter buttons, classic tabs, a
conventional checkbox tick.
Existing machines get a migration, which the Qt5 stack never did. The
difference is that this removal cannot reach the greeter. kvantum-qt5
goes in the same transaction, since it is the only thing that requires
kvantum, and it takes qt5-svg and qt5-x11extras along with it -- but
qt5-wayland is explicitly installed, so the cascade stops there and
leaves qt5-declarative and qt5-base standing for any sddm theme still
starting the Qt5 greeter.
kvantummanager stays in launcher.hides. The entry costs nothing once the
package is gone, and it keeps Kvantum Manager out of the launcher on
machines that have not run the migration yet.

kvantum-qt5 only ever existed to dark-mode VLC, and VLC is retired.
qt5-wayland was the Qt5 Wayland platform plugin, but it also quietly
dragged in qt5-declarative, which is what kept sddm's Qt5 greeter alive.
No application we ship runs on Qt5 any more, so the whole stack goes
from fresh installs: about 110 MiB across kvantum-qt5, qt5-wayland,
qt5-declarative, qt5-base, qt5-svg, qt5-x11extras and qt5-translations.
fcitx5-qt keeps a few Qt5 objects it builds regardless, and they simply
go unused.
sddm picks its greeter from the theme's SddmGreeterTheme/QtVersion and
defaults that key to 5, so a theme without it execs the Qt5
/usr/bin/sddm-greeter. That tie is only an optdepend, so pacman would
happily take qt5-declarative and leave a login screen that cannot start.
The theme declares QtVersion=6 now, and the Qt6 greeter renders it
unchanged.
kvantum, the Qt6 style engine behind QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE, was only ever
present as a dependency of kvantum-qt5, so the package list swaps to it
rather than dropping the line. obs, kdenlive and the share picker keep
the styling they have today.
Machines already installed keep their Qt5 stack. Shedding it there means
deciding which greeter sddm will actually launch, and that means
reimplementing its config loader: sddm reads every file in sddm.conf.d
whatever its extension, QSettings trims keys and lets the last duplicate
win, and ThemeDir can move the themes entirely. Not worth risking a
login screen for 110 MiB that a reinstall reclaims anyway.

quickshell 0.3.0's qs kill returns before the instance exits, forcing
restart tooling to babysit pids. Upstream fixed kill to block until the
process is gone, but only on master, so the Omarchy repo now carries
quickshell-git pinned past that fix. New installs get it from the base
packages; existing installs migrate with a single --ask 4 transaction so
the conflicting quickshell package is replaced in place, then restart
the shell after the update to pick up the new binary.

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.
Download the current page's video with yt-dlp via Alt+Shift+D or a click
on the toolbar icon. A native-messaging host runs the download, shows live
progress on the Quickshell OSD, and posts a clickable "Download complete"
toast that opens the file in mpv.
- Extension: pinned key for a stable id, green download-video icon,
keyboard command + toolbar action (reads the active tab URL).
- Native host (omarchy-chromium-ytdlp-host): verifies the URL with
yt-dlp --simulate (else "No video found"), streams progress to the OSD
(time-throttled to ~4/s), saves to ~/Videos, opens mpv on click.
- Installer (omarchy-install-chromium-ytdlp) writes the native-messaging
manifest into installed Chromium/Chrome/Brave/Edge profiles; wired into
browser install and chromium refresh, with a migration for existing users.
- omarchy-osd: add -d/--duration so the OSD can persist during a download.
- Add yt-dlp to base packages, load the extension via --load-extension,
and document the Alt+Shift+D binding.
