The panel resolves marks by walking assets/<id>-light.svg then assets/<id>.svg, advancing on Image.Error. But the candidates binding is re-evaluated whenever the provider objects are rebuilt, and a fresh array identity with identical content reset the walk to the -light candidate. Re-pointing source at a URL whose load already failed emits no statusChanged, so the walker never advanced again and agents that ship a single mark — Claude — fell back to the generic bar glyph on light surfaces. Key the reset on the candidate URLs instead of the array identity, and defer the error advance one tick so stepping source from inside its own status change doesn't trip the binding-loop detector.

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.
