Subject: [PATCH] Scope branding image pickers to ~/Pictures, fix About
 transcode mode (#5733)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

* Scope branding image pickers to ~/Pictures, fix About transcode mode

The "Set From Image" path in both Style → About and Style → Screensaver
was scanning all of $HOME for *.svg / *.png and feeding the result into
Walker dmenu. On a populated home directory this can be tens of thousands
of entries, leaving the picker effectively unusable.

Scope the picker to ${XDG_PICTURES_DIR:-$HOME/Pictures}, matching the
pattern already used in omarchy-capture-screenshot.

While here, drop the hardcoded --mode block from omarchy-branding-about
so the About transcode falls back to the default braille mode, matching
what omarchy-branding-screensaver does and what stock about.txt ships
with. The reduced --width 54 stays so the result fits the fastfetch
logo column.

* Explain the scope of the picker
