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).
`omarchy-shell-ipc menu toggle root` is what the keybinds use \u2014 it
skips the omarchy CLI dispatch hop and stays sub-ms. But humans don't
want to type that. New tiny wrapper restores `omarchy menu …` as the
CLI entry point:
omarchy menu → toggle root (bare invocation)
omarchy menu toggle [route] → toggle, route defaults to root
omarchy menu summon [route] → always open
omarchy menu close → close if open
omarchy menu refresh → re-parse the menu JSONCs
omarchy menu ping → health check
Internally each verb just execs `omarchy-shell-ipc menu …`. The
omarchy-CLI dispatcher overhead measures ~2ms on top of the direct IPC
path (32ms → 34ms keybind-to-visible), so the wrapper is fine for any
human-typed invocation; keybinds and the bar icon stay on
omarchy-shell-ipc to keep that ~30ms hot path.
Sibling `omarchy menu file`, `omarchy menu input`, etc. still resolve
through their own bins \u2014 the dispatcher picks the longest matching
prefix, so longer routes ("omarchy menu file") win over the bare
"omarchy menu" entry.
The shell now owns the menu — both data and dispatch. The 821-line bash
bin was carrying the open path (cold spawn + jq pipeline + tempfile dance
+ IPC + poll) and a grab-bag of helpers that only existed inside it. Both
go away in this commit.
New bins for the few composite helpers that were genuinely worth keeping:
- omarchy-install-app NAME PKG
- omarchy-install-and-launch NAME PKG DESKTOP_ID
- omarchy-install-font LABEL PKG FAMILY
- omarchy-launch-config-editor PATH
- omarchy-reminder-set-interactive
- omarchy-capture-screenrecording-with-webcam
Sweep through default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc rewrites:
- present_terminal X -> omarchy-launch-floating-terminal-with-presentation X
- install_terminal X -> omarchy-launch-floating-terminal-with-presentation 'omarchy-install-terminal X'
- install / install_and_launch / install_font / open_in_editor -> new bins above
- terminal X -> xdg-terminal-exec --app-id=org.omarchy.terminal X
- default_browser_is X -> [[ "$(omarchy-default-browser)" == "X" ]]
- default_terminal_is X / default_editor_is X / haptic_touchpad_is X same shape
- $(hypr_config_file X) -> ~/.config/hypr/X.lua
- show_custom_reminder_input -> omarchy-reminder-set-interactive
- screenrecord_with_webcam -> omarchy-capture-screenrecording-with-webcam
- stop_active_screenrecording -> omarchy-capture-screenrecording --stop-recording
Hyprland bindings switch from `omarchy-menu X` to
`omarchy-shell-ipc menu summon X` (the keybind hot path now skips bash
entirely). The Bar.qml omarchy widget and the battery right-click do the
same. ALT+PRINT becomes a one-liner: stop the recording if one is going,
otherwise summon the screenrecord submenu.
Measured: keybind-to-visible is ~30ms (was ~235ms). The shell's plugin
keepLoaded:true stops being theoretical \u2014 the menu data lives in memory
across opens, and the only work between keypress and paint is the IPC
roundtrip and the layer-shell window mount.
- omarchy-bar-settings.lua is gone: the Hyprland rules it carried for
the old standalone bar-settings window no longer match anything,
since settings is now a panel plugin summoned via IPC. The still-
needed "Widget settings" sub-dialog rules move into
omarchy-shell.lua next to the existing "Omarchy Settings" rules.
- plugins README documents the `bar` plugin kind so third-party
plugin authors aren't surprised to see it on the first-party
omarchy.bar manifest. The note also calls out that they should ship
`bar-widget`s, not replace the host bar.
- omarchy-style-bar-position seeds from shell-defaults.json before
mutating, so a user without a shell.json (or with a malformed one)
no longer ends up with a stub config that blanks the bar layout.
omarchy-font-set already updates ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf, which
is what fc-match, Qt, and every other XDG app reads from. Storing the
same family in shell.json gives the same value two homes that can drift
apart, and stops the bar from picking up font changes without a shell
restart.
- omarchy-font-set stops writing bar.fontFamily to shell.json and stops
poking ~/.config/waybar/style.css. fontconfig + terminals + hyprlock
+ swayosd are still updated as before.
- omarchy-font-current reads fc-match monospace -f '%{family}' and
takes the first comma-separated entry; the old jq-on-shell.json
path is gone.
- Bar / SettingsPanel / NDropdown.qml default fontFamily to
"monospace" and stop reading config.fontFamily. Qt resolves the
family through fontconfig at paint time, so omarchy-font-set updates
the bar live with no reload.
- shell-defaults.json drops bar.fontFamily.
User-visible effect: pick a Nerd Font, the bar follows it. Pick a font
without glyphs and you get tofu — same failure mode the terminals and
hyprlock already had.
The bin names should reflect the thing they manage. `refresh bar` is
misleading because the command resets the entire shell.json (which holds
plugins beyond just the bar), and `restart quickshell` names the runtime
rather than the product. Both now end in `-shell` to match the rest of
omarchy-shell.
Updates every caller in autostart, the menu, voxtype helpers, and the
shell README. No behavior changes.
omarchy-shell's bar plugin replaces waybar on every default path, so the
waybar package, configs, indicator scripts, and toggle/restart/refresh
binaries all go away in this commit.
The four small helper scripts that Bar.qml shells out to (weather.sh and
indicators/*.sh) move with the shell rather than disappear \u2014 they live
at default/quickshell/omarchy-shell/scripts/ now, alongside the rest of
the shell code.
Companion script changes:
- omarchy-shell-ipc gains --if-running so fire-and-forget refresh
callers (toggle-idle, toggle-notification-silencing,
update-available-reset, capture-screenrecording) don't accidentally
spawn the shell when it isn't already up.
- omarchy-theme-set, omarchy-tz-select, omarchy-voxtype-{install,model},
omarchy-toggle-nightlight, omarchy-voxtype-config drop their waybar
branches and comments.
- omarchy-voxtype-status's summary stops claiming it's a Waybar helper.
- omarchy-base.packages drops waybar; install/packaging/fonts.sh's
comment points at the new bar consumer.
- SKILL.md / AGENTS.md / omarchy-menu.jsonc lose their waybar entries.
- test/omarchy-cli-test.sh substitutes a remaining toggle command.
Adds first-party omarchy.notifications service plugin that hosts a
freedesktop notification server and renders popups + a history popup
inside the shell. Uninstalls mako and retargets every helper, keybind,
indicator, and migration entry to the new daemon.
Plugin (default/quickshell/omarchy-shell/plugins/notifications/):
- Service.qml: NotificationServer, popupModel + pendingModel + pastModel
(two-tier history, see below), DND via PersistentProperties +
cache-file backstop, image cache for /tmp screenshots, IpcHandler with
toggleDnd/setDnd/isDnd/showHistory/clear/clearPending/markAllSeen/
dismissAll/dismissOne/invokeLast/dismiss, per-theme override file
~/.config/omarchy/current/theme/notifications.json honoring
borderColor/backgroundColor/textColor/countdownColor.
- components/NotificationCard.qml: theme-driven card (Color.foreground/
background/border tokens from Commons/Color.qml), 32x32 icon slot,
Nerd Font glyph fallback via omarchy-glyph hint, hero image strip
for screenshot/image-path notifications, hover-pause progress bar,
uses bar.fontFamily so all surfaces share one font.
Filtering and DND:
- transient hint and CLI-style senders (app_name in notify-send /
omarchy-action) bypass history but still pop.
- DND only allows omarchy-action toasts and notify-send -u critical
through; real-app urgency=critical (Discord, Slack, Vesktop) is
silenced and lands in pending instead.
- Pending vs past split surfaced via tabs in the bar widget popup;
past tab is auto-pruned at the 15-minute mark.
- Click-to-jump: notifications without a libnotify default action focus
the matching Hyprland window via class lookup.
Shell host:
- shell.qml: generic first-party service loader (mirrors the existing
noctalia-compat path) and an alias for the bar so plugins can read
barSize / barHidden / position for anchoring.
- Commons/Color.qml: parses the theme's hyprland.conf for
$activeBorderColor so notifications match Hyprland window borders;
picks the explicit accent= key over the color4= alias.
Bar widget rebase (plugins/bar/widgets/notificationCenter.qml):
- Drops the chunk-1 stub server, binds count/dnd state to the service,
hosts the history popup via PopupCard so it drops down from the
notification glyph the same way Quick Settings does.
- Pending/Past tabs, dismiss-individual close X, mark-all-as-seen and
clear-recent action buttons, theme-driven palette.
Quick Settings rework (plugins/bar/widgets/controlCenter.qml):
- DND tile binds directly to service.doNotDisturb for instant feedback.
- Drops the volume slider (already in audioPanel) and the no-op Theme
tile; adds a Bluetooth toggle bound to Quickshell.Bluetooth.
- Bigger 44x44 wallet was scaled back to 32x32 for tighter rows.
Notification scripts (bin/omarchy-*):
- omarchy-notification-send: passes glyph as a custom hint instead of
prepending to the summary; adds -a omarchy-action and -u urgency
automatically; supports -e/--transient passthrough.
- User-action toasts in the capture / toggle / hyprland / default-*
scripts and bindings/utilities.lua now tag themselves
-a omarchy-action so DND treats them as intent-based bypass.
- omarchy-toggle-notification-silencing, omarchy-notification-dismiss,
default/waybar/indicators/notification-silencing.sh, and the Hyprland
comma-keybinds all route through omarchy-shell-ipc notifications.
- omarchy-capture-screenshot / -screenrecording set the image-path
hint properly so the hero-image rendering kicks in.
Mako removal (migrations/1778743515.sh):
- pkill -x mako, systemctl --user stop mako.service, pacman -Rns mako
(uninstalling deletes /usr/lib/systemd/user/mako.service so D-Bus
activation can't respawn it). Removes ~/.config/mako/ and the legacy
toggle file. Restarts quickshell so it claims the bus name.
- Drops mako from install/omarchy-base.packages, autostart.lua,
install/config/theme.sh + toggles.sh, default/themed/mako.ini.tpl,
default/mako/, the omarchy-menu Mako restart row, bin/omarchy
GROUP_DESCRIPTIONS, the settings panel catalogue, and the
default/omarchy-skill paths table.
- Removed scripts: bin/omarchy-restart-mako,
bin/omarchy-style-corners-mako.
- bin/omarchy-style-corners summary updated; corner radius for the
notification card reads ~/.local/state/omarchy/toggles/quickshell-menu.json
alongside the rest of the shell.
GitHub's default branch on basecamp/omarchy is no longer master, so
a plain clone pulls the development branch. Pass --branch master so
reinstalls always land on stable regardless of repo default.
Pad the percent text to 3 chars with printf so " 5%", " 50%", and
"100%" render at identical width in the JetBrainsMono monospace label.
Previously the popup container resized between events because the
label string varied between 2 and 4 characters, which caused the
popup to visibly jump in width on consecutive brightness key presses.
Builds on #5525, which made the percent values themselves step
uniformly; this completes the loop by making the rendered popup match.

Consolidates bar-settings into a single 'settings' plugin with sidebar
categories: Defaults, Style, Bar, System, Plugins. Updates supporting
commands (omarchy-launch-settings, omarchy-style-corners-quickshell,
omarchy-theme-list-with-previews, omarchy-hyprland-monitor-scaling-set)
and refreshes sidebar glyphs to Nerd Font icons.
CRITICAL:
- Re-inject working entry into the settings form every time the dialog
opens. Previously the Loader's onLoaded only fires when the
sourceComponent identity changes, so reopening the dialog on the same
widget id (or on a second instance of the same id, e.g. two spacers)
showed stale field values.
- 'Add widget' menu and the centerAnchor dropdown both read
draft.layout[section] without depending on the section array
identity. Mutating the array in place did not invalidate those
bindings, so the menu would show a stale availability list and let
non-spacer widgets be added twice. Layout mutations now replace the
whole object so any binding that reads it re-evaluates.
WARNINGS:
- Save now writes only the diff against the merged defaults so future
bar-defaults changes are not silently shadowed by a stale snapshot.
- FileView onFileChanged handlers simplified to a single reload() —
the explicit second loader call was duplicating loadConfig and
bumping barConfigSerial twice per change (visible flicker).
- userFile onLoaded ignores reloads while the user has an unsaved
working draft so external edits during editing do not clobber the
in-progress state.
- SpinBox forms switched from onValueChanged to onValueModified so the
initial-value bind no longer fires fieldChanged.
- Hyprland window-rule sizes aligned with the FloatingWindow
implicitWidth/Height values (720 main, 380 dialog).
- omarchy-launch-bar-settings falls back to initialTitle when focusing,
so a dialog that has not yet had its title applied still surfaces
the existing instance.
Each layout entry is now an object — {id, ...inline settings} — instead
of a (name, separate modules map) pair. Multiple instances of the same
widget are trivially supported (spacer is the main beneficiary). Settings
travel with the entry, so reordering keeps them attached.
shell.qml:
- normalizeLayout converts string entries to {id} and drops invalid ones
- ModuleSlot binds to a full entry; moduleName and moduleSettings derive
from it via entryId/entrySettings helpers
- centerAnchor lookup walks layoutEntries directly
- builtinBarConfig defaults use the object form
- README + bar-defaults.json updated to the new schema
bar-settings/ (new Quickshell config):
- Top toolbar with Reset / Save and Position / centerAnchor dropdowns
- Three section editors (left/center/right) with current widgets shown
as cards: name + description + move up/down/settings/remove buttons
- '+ Add widget' menu per section, sorted alphabetically by display name
(only spacer can repeat; everything else is one per bar)
- Per-widget settings dialog (FloatingWindow) loads an inline schema for
widgets in the catalog. Initial schemas: spacer (size), calendar
(formats), brightness (step)
- FileView { atomicWrites } writes to ~/.config/omarchy/bar.json on Save
omarchy-launch-bar-settings + hypr window rules pin the settings window
to a 760px floating square. controlCenter gains a 'Customize bar…' button
that launches it.
