David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Fable 5 ab0f6a8f2c Fast-poll Tailscale and Dropbox at shell startup so icons go live promptly
Both services fire one status poll when the shell starts, but after a fresh
boot that lands before tailscaled has connected or dropboxd has finished its
respawn dance, leaving the bar icons stale for a full 30s/60s refresh
interval. Re-poll every 2s until the service shows up (or ~30s pass), then
hand off to the normal periodic refresh.

Renders the Tailscale mark natively as a theme-colored 3×3 dot grid, matching the official SVG silhouette while avoiding tiny-SVG rendering quirks in the bar.

Add to the bar

This widget ships as first-party plugin omarchy.tailscale. Add it with omarchy bar plugin add omarchy.tailscale, or add an entry such as { "id": "omarchy.tailscale" } to one of the bar.layout sections in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json; the shell reloads shell.json automatically.
