* Turn Bluetooth off with an rfkill soft block BlueZ never persists an adapter's Powered property, so turning Bluetooth off in the panel lasted only until the next boot. Omarchy's answer was AutoEnable=false, which persists nothing either — it just means "never power the adapter on", so Bluetooth came up off every boot whatever the user had chosen. The soft block already does the job. systemd-rfkill saves every switch under /var/lib/systemd/rfkill and restores it early on the next boot; that is the entire purpose of the unit. Blocking also covers every controller at once, where bluetoothctl only ever addresses the default one. So the block becomes the state and BlueZ follows it: with AutoEnable back at its stock default, lifting the block is enough for bluetoothd to power the adapter up on its own. Powered still tracks the block, so the panel switch and icon read it exactly as before. Everything that turns Bluetooth on or off goes through omarchy-bluetooth-power, because bluetoothctl power on fails while a block is set.

Read it before anything changes, hand it to the block, then put AutoEnable back to its default so bluetoothd can act on that block. Only the exact line Omarchy wrote is reverted, so a hand-edited opt-out survives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Ask the power helper for a direction, not a toggle The helper runs detached and the switch only moves once BlueZ catches up, so a second click inside that window re-read the pre-click state and undid the first. The panel already knows which way it wants to go, so let it say. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Read every controller and bound the power-up wait The block hits every Bluetooth radio at once, but the state was read from a bare bluetoothctl show, which reports the default controller only. A powered dongle sitting behind a powered-down internal controller read as off and got blocked along with it. Enumerate the controllers and take any powered one as on, exposed as is-on so callers do not each reinvent the read. The wait counted probes rather than time, so a wedged D-Bus turned a two-second bound into roughly fifty across a full power-up. One deadline around the whole wait holds it near nine.

Migrations run under bash -e, so that aborted before the config revert and the marker, and aborted again on every retry. The privilege guidance already calls for sudo on machine-wide work run from a visible terminal.

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.
