* Read the keyboard being typed on rather than the one holding main The main flag names no keyboard for long. fcitx5 takes it with the virtual keyboard it binds to inject, and those are filtered out, so on a seat running an input method the pick lands on nothing at all: no label, and the widget hides itself off the bar. #6727 keeps polling in that state rather than settling it, and the poll has nothing new to read. Once fcitx5 unbinds, the flag lands on whichever device libinput listed last, as easily a lid switch as a keyboard, and a device that never receives the toggle reports the layout it started on forever, which is the reading #6574 opened. Every device carries the seat's layout list, but only the keyboard being typed on advances through it, so read the furthest-advanced one. activelayout names the keyboard it moved ahead of the layout, so take that name and let it settle the pick, and the click that switches it. * Leave the buttons out of the seat the widget reads Reading the keyboard being typed on left keyboardName standing for two things at once: the device a click switches, and the device activelayout last named. Only the second was still being set, so the first went empty until a switch happened -- which left the click doing nothing on a seat whose only switch is the click, and left the poll running forever on the one-keyboard install it was written to leave alone. Give each its own property, and set the switch target from the reading that confirmed the keyboard is there. Layout progress only points at the keyboard being typed on while the other devices stay where they started, and the ACPI power button, lid switch and sleep key never do move on their own -- but they answer to switchxkblayout and can hold the main flag, so anything that reads or switches whatever the seat hands back can end up describing a button, and unplugging the keyboard beside one leaves it standing in for the seat. Drop them where the virtual keyboards are already dropped. A reading that reaches hyprctl and finds no keyboard now clears the label rather than leaving a device that is gone described on the bar, told apart from the empty output a killed query leaves by the device list itself, and the watchdog asks again rather than waiting for a poll that a settled seat has already stopped.

First-party plugins
These plugins ship with Omarchy and are discovered by the shell at startup.
They use the same manifest.json contract as third-party plugins; the
only difference is that the shell flags them with __isFirstParty: true.
First-party non-bar plugins are enabled unless listed in disabledPlugins[];
omarchy.bar is the default bar option and becomes inactive only while another
kind: "bar" plugin is selected. Services and keep-loaded panels are mounted
at startup; other panels, overlays, and menus are loaded on demand.
User-installed plugins live alongside these conceptually but on disk under
~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/ rather than in this directory.

First-party bar-only widgets also carry manifests next to their QML files,
e.g. bar/widgets/Workspaces.manifest.json. Rich popup widgets live in their
own plugin directories, each with its own manifest.json.
Bar
The built-in status bar and default full-bar option. Layout lives in the
top-level bar: subtree of ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json (with the shell
providing config/omarchy/shell.json when
the user has no file). See bar/README.md for the widget catalogue
and customization schema.
Image picker
Fullscreen image-grid selector overlay. Used by omarchy-menu-images
(wallpaper picker) and omarchy-theme-switcher (theme picker) and any
other caller that wants to present a directory of images with previews.
Two ways to drive it:
- Shell-level summon:
omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.image-picker '<jsonPayload>'. The payload can carryimageDirs,imageRows,selectedImage,selectionFile,doneFile,showLabels,filterable. Best for in-shell callers that already speak JSON. - Direct IPC target:
omarchy-shell image-selector open <imageDirs> <imageRowsB64> <selectedImage> <selectionFile> <doneFile> <showLabels> <filterable>. Positional args;imageRowsB64is base64-encoded so embedded newlines / tabs survive the bash argv handoff. This is whatomarchy-menu-imagesuses. Colors come from the central shell theme singleton; there is no per-call override surface.
The selection round-trip remains file-based: callers create a
selection_file and done_file (both mktemp), pass the paths, and
poll done_file for existence. The plugin writes the chosen path into
selection_file and touches done_file when it's done. cancel IPC
clears it without writing a selection.
The plugin has keepLoaded: true so the layer-shell window survives
between summons within a single shell session.
Lock screen
Session-lock surface using Quickshell's native WlSessionLock and two
separate PAM services: omarchy-lock-password for password auth and,
only when fingerprints are enrolled, omarchy-lock-fingerprint for
fingerprint auth. It mirrors the previous lock screen field dimensions,
colors, blurred wallpaper, placeholder, and Hyprland-driven corners.
Polkit agent
Theme-aware authentication dialog for privileged actions. It uses
Quickshell's native Quickshell.Services.Polkit.PolkitAgent backend and
runs inside the long-lived omarchy-shell process, replacing the old
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 autostart.
Omarchy menu
Quickshell-powered Omarchy command menu.
The menu UI lives in menu/Menu.qml as a first-party menu plugin and is
summoned through the shell (omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.menu ...),
so it shares the long-running omarchy-shell process instead of starting a
second Quickshell instance.
The menu definition lives outside the shell host code:
- defaults:
default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc - user extensions:
~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc
The shell parses both JSONC files at startup (with watchChanges: true
so edits take effect without a restart), evaluates when: / checked:
bash expressions in a single batched subprocess, and executes the
selected action: string directly via Quickshell.execDetached. The
long-running shell process keeps the parsed menu in memory, so the
keybind → IPC → visible path costs ~30ms cold.
