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.
Pass a section name to open the gallery with the cursor already on
that component instead of scrolling from the top. Useful when
iterating on a single widget.
omarchy dev ui-preview # default position
omarchy dev ui-preview button # land on the Button section
omarchy dev ui-preview button-group # land on ButtonGroup
omarchy dev ui-preview slider # land on Slider, etc.
The bin script forwards the argument as {"section": "..."} in the
shell summon payload. The gallery's open(payloadJson) parses it,
clamps against visibleSections (unknown names fall back to default),
and sets focusSection + selectedIndex inside the existing Qt.callLater
so the cursor's hasCursor bindings fire ensureCursorVisible
automatically.
Three small fixes around the new Button + ButtonGroup so the cursor is
always visible and the section reads as a single Button showing flag
combinations.
ButtonGroup now exposes cursorIndex + hovered(index, isHovered) so
panels can drive a single Button's hasCursor without reaching past
ButtonGroup's API. Every chip gets bordered: true so the row reads as
a real picker — distinct outlines, not just a tinted fill that vanishes
into the background.
Button's border treatment grows two paths so the cursor is always
visible regardless of other state: bordered + hot recolors the border
to the accent and thickens to the focus-ring width, and selected + hot
thickens the existing accent border to the focus-ring width (so the
cursor landing on the chosen option still reads as cursor presence,
instead of disappearing into the selected fill).
Gallery's Button section pairs each demo button with a small caption
('idle', 'active', 'icon only', 'icon + active', 'bordered +
focusable') so the row reads as one Button with its state flags side
by side rather than five unrelated buttons. The ButtonGroup section
gets the cursor wiring (cursorIndex + onHovered) plus an
onFocusedChanged auto-scroll so the cursor visual is reachable via
j/k h/l from the panel cursor model.
Wide content rows (slider rows in audio / monitor panels) opted out of
the cursor fill by setting fill: "transparent" on their CursorSurface,
which left them with no cursor visual at all — j/k landed there
silently with no way to know what was selected.
Add an `outline: bool` flag to CursorSurface. When true, hasCursor
paints an accent border (Style.focusBorderColor at
Style.focusBorderWidth) instead of a fill, leaving the row's chrome
fully visible underneath. Use for slider rows where a fill would
obscure the track.
Audio output / input slider rows and the monitor brightness row opt
in. The dev gallery's slider section replaces its bespoke Rectangle
wrapper with the same CursorSurface { outline: true }, so what the
gallery documents is what the panels ship.
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).
