Set the default formatAlt to "dd MMMM 'W'ww yyyy" (was "dd MMMM yyyy")
in shell-defaults.json, the bundled settings-panel defaults, and the
form placeholder text — clock's own widget fallback already used this
spec but the shipped config overrode it.
Qt.formatDateTime doesn't recognize `ww` and renders it literally
(`20 May Www 2026`), so add an `isoWeek` helper to clock.qml that
pre-substitutes `ww` with a Qt-quoted literal of the ISO 8601 week
number before handing the format off to Qt. Users get `20 May W21 2026`
without anyone needing to know about the substitution.
Clock and daytime were near-duplicates with different click semantics
(clock toggles between formats on left-click and opens the timezone
selector on right-click; daytime was non-pressable with a hover tooltip).
Standardize on clock, since it's the more capable of the two.
- Delete widgets/daytime.qml and its FirstPartyWidgets entry.
- Migrate shell-defaults.json, shell.qml's builtin fallback, Bar.qml's
fallback bar config, and the settings panel's builtin defaults so the
center anchor and center-section entry both reference "clock".
- Rename the daytimeSettings form to clockSettings and rephrase
"Tooltip format" → "Alternate format (click to toggle)" so the field
label matches clock's actual behavior.
- Update the gallery dropdown options and bar/README docs.
The custom PositionButtonGroup component wrapped Repeater + Button
directly without setting bordered: true on the delegates. After the
recent Button changes (idle non-bordered Buttons have zero border
width), the non-selected position chips lost their visible chip
structure entirely \u2014 they rendered as floating text labels and read
as unclickable.
Replace the bespoke component with qs.Ui.ButtonGroup (which sets
bordered: true on each chip) inside a Column with a 'Position' label,
and drop the now-unused PositionButtonGroup definition. All four
options now read as clickable chips and the chosen value still paints
the accent fill+border.
The three components were three takes on the same shape \u2014 a clickable
rectangle with text/icon, a hot/hover state, an optional persistent
border, and an optional 'selected' or 'active' highlight. CursorPill
was a 30-line PillButton wrapper that added a hovered() signal;
ChoiceButton was effectively PillButton with selected: bool painting
an accent fill+border.
Collapse them into a single qs.Ui.Button. State flags compose
independently:
hasCursor / hover hot fill
active persistent foreground-tint fill
selected accent fill + accent border
bordered: true persistent 1px idle border (form primaries)
focusable: true Tab focus paints the accent ring
pressed pressed fill
The hovered(bool) signal is now built-in, so CursorPill's wrapper is
unnecessary. ButtonGroup wraps a Row+Repeater for the form-style
'pick one of N' pattern; panel-cursor-driven cases still compose
Buttons directly in a Row with per-instance hasCursor wiring.
Theme tokens move into a new [style] section in shell.toml:
border-width = 1
focus-border-width = 3
idle-border-alpha = 0.4
hot-fill-alpha = 0.08
selected-fill-alpha = 0.18
pressed-fill-alpha = 0.22
focus-fill-alpha = 0.22
Style.qml parses these out of the same shell.toml [font] / [bar]
already reads, and exposes pre-computed Style.hotFill / selectedFill /
pressedFill / idleBorderColor / selectedAccentFill / borderWidth +
the existing focusBorder* tokens. Themes that don't ship a [style]
section get the previous defaults unchanged.
Dev gallery consolidates three sections (PillButton, CursorPill,
ChoiceButton) into Button + ButtonGroup, with the cursor model
sections renamed accordingly.
Themes now drive typography the same way they drive colors: one [font]
base-size in shell.toml is the rem root, and every Style.font.<token>
(caption, bodySmall, body, subtitle, title, heading, display,
displayLarge, iconSmall, icon, iconLarge) derives from it via a fixed
multiplier. Themes can also pin individual tokens for stylistic
emphasis. base-size is clamped 11..13 until row-height tokens exist.
Bar dimensions move to the same singleton: [bar] size-horizontal /
size-vertical replace the hardcoded 26/28 in Bar.qml, exposed as
Style.bar.sizeHorizontal / sizeVertical.
Style.qml also resolves the fontconfig 'monospace' alias via fc-match
and exposes Style.font.resolvedFamily so panels can display the
concrete family. Watches ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf so it tracks
'omarchy font set <name>'.
The qs.Ui kit (PillButton, Dropdown, Toggle, TextField, etc.) and
every first-party plugin (bar widgets, settings, menu, clipboard,
emoji, polkit, notifications, osd, image-picker, dev-gallery) now
bind to Style.font.* instead of pixel literals. Only three deliberate
display-scale outliers remain: the notification empty-state glyph and
the weather flyout's hero temperature pair, all commented.
Background plugin's applyTheme IPC fast-path also pushes shell.toml to
Style so theme swaps update typography and bar size without waiting
for inotify debounce.
Dev gallery (omarchy dev ui-preview) now ships a Typography section
that renders the full scale and theme tokens live, and its summon
command is fixed (omarchy-shell-ipc -> omarchy-shell).
