Five plugins each owned their own colors.toml watcher with subtly
different parsers, plus two ad-hoc per-theme override files
(notifications.json, image-picker-colors.json). This collapses all of
that into one source of truth: Commons/Color.qml watches colors.toml +
shell.toml and exposes Color.bar.*, Color.popups.*, Color.notifications.*,
Color.menu.*, Color.imagePicker.* for every surface to bind to.
shell.toml is generated by the existing template pipeline from
default/themed/shell.toml.tpl. Themes can ship their own shell.toml to
override individual keys; everything missing falls back to the
foundational palette via root.pick(). Settings panel is intentionally
not themable beyond the foundational tokens.
last-horizon and solitude ship a minimal shell.toml to preserve their
historical 'notification border matches Hyprland active border'
behavior, which previously came from parsing the theme's hyprland.conf
(now removed).
Settings dialogs were rendering text/spin/combo controls with Qt's
default light style, which clashed with the dark Omarchy theme — black
text on dark fills, white dropdown popups, rounded corners, and a
pill-style toggle that didn't match the native StyleToggleRow switch.
- Style.qml: collapse all radius tokens to 0 so Noctalia-compat widgets
inherit Omarchy's sharp-corner convention
- NToggle: rewrite to mirror the native 48x22 switch with accent fill
and a sliding 16x16 thumb
- NComboBox: skin contentItem, indicator, popup, and delegate so the
dropdown reads on dark themes
- NSpinBox: add a styled background, contentItem, and up/down indicators
- SettingsPanel calendar form + DynamicSettingsForm string field: drop
default TextField chrome for the same translucent foreground fill used
by WidgetCard, accent border on focus
Replace the inline detail flyout with a two-column hero: location chip
and large temperature on the left, big condition icon on the right.
Stats (Feels / Wind / Humidity) move below as caps-labeled columns,
separated from the forecast by a thin divider. Forecast cells now lead
with the day icon and put the day name above hi/lo temps.
Drop the Refresh and wttr.in pill buttons; a Timer refreshes the
forecast every refreshMinutes (default 15). The interval is exposed
through the Settings panel — Bar -> Weather has a gear that opens a
SpinBox-backed form, persisted as "settings": { "refreshMinutes": N }
in shell.json.
omarchy-font-set already updates ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf, which
is what fc-match, Qt, and every other XDG app reads from. Storing the
same family in shell.json gives the same value two homes that can drift
apart, and stops the bar from picking up font changes without a shell
restart.
- omarchy-font-set stops writing bar.fontFamily to shell.json and stops
poking ~/.config/waybar/style.css. fontconfig + terminals + hyprlock
+ swayosd are still updated as before.
- omarchy-font-current reads fc-match monospace -f '%{family}' and
takes the first comma-separated entry; the old jq-on-shell.json
path is gone.
- Bar / SettingsPanel / NDropdown.qml default fontFamily to
"monospace" and stop reading config.fontFamily. Qt resolves the
family through fontconfig at paint time, so omarchy-font-set updates
the bar live with no reload.
- shell-defaults.json drops bar.fontFamily.
User-visible effect: pick a Nerd Font, the bar follows it. Pick a font
without glyphs and you get tofu — same failure mode the terminals and
hyprlock already had.
Adds first-party omarchy.notifications service plugin that hosts a
freedesktop notification server and renders popups + a history popup
inside the shell. Uninstalls mako and retargets every helper, keybind,
indicator, and migration entry to the new daemon.
Plugin (default/quickshell/omarchy-shell/plugins/notifications/):
- Service.qml: NotificationServer, popupModel + pendingModel + pastModel
(two-tier history, see below), DND via PersistentProperties +
cache-file backstop, image cache for /tmp screenshots, IpcHandler with
toggleDnd/setDnd/isDnd/showHistory/clear/clearPending/markAllSeen/
dismissAll/dismissOne/invokeLast/dismiss, per-theme override file
~/.config/omarchy/current/theme/notifications.json honoring
borderColor/backgroundColor/textColor/countdownColor.
- components/NotificationCard.qml: theme-driven card (Color.foreground/
background/border tokens from Commons/Color.qml), 32x32 icon slot,
Nerd Font glyph fallback via omarchy-glyph hint, hero image strip
for screenshot/image-path notifications, hover-pause progress bar,
uses bar.fontFamily so all surfaces share one font.
Filtering and DND:
- transient hint and CLI-style senders (app_name in notify-send /
omarchy-action) bypass history but still pop.
- DND only allows omarchy-action toasts and notify-send -u critical
through; real-app urgency=critical (Discord, Slack, Vesktop) is
silenced and lands in pending instead.
- Pending vs past split surfaced via tabs in the bar widget popup;
past tab is auto-pruned at the 15-minute mark.
- Click-to-jump: notifications without a libnotify default action focus
the matching Hyprland window via class lookup.
Shell host:
- shell.qml: generic first-party service loader (mirrors the existing
noctalia-compat path) and an alias for the bar so plugins can read
barSize / barHidden / position for anchoring.
- Commons/Color.qml: parses the theme's hyprland.conf for
$activeBorderColor so notifications match Hyprland window borders;
picks the explicit accent= key over the color4= alias.
Bar widget rebase (plugins/bar/widgets/notificationCenter.qml):
- Drops the chunk-1 stub server, binds count/dnd state to the service,
hosts the history popup via PopupCard so it drops down from the
notification glyph the same way Quick Settings does.
- Pending/Past tabs, dismiss-individual close X, mark-all-as-seen and
clear-recent action buttons, theme-driven palette.
Quick Settings rework (plugins/bar/widgets/controlCenter.qml):
- DND tile binds directly to service.doNotDisturb for instant feedback.
- Drops the volume slider (already in audioPanel) and the no-op Theme
tile; adds a Bluetooth toggle bound to Quickshell.Bluetooth.
- Bigger 44x44 wallet was scaled back to 32x32 for tighter rows.
Notification scripts (bin/omarchy-*):
- omarchy-notification-send: passes glyph as a custom hint instead of
prepending to the summary; adds -a omarchy-action and -u urgency
automatically; supports -e/--transient passthrough.
- User-action toasts in the capture / toggle / hyprland / default-*
scripts and bindings/utilities.lua now tag themselves
-a omarchy-action so DND treats them as intent-based bypass.
- omarchy-toggle-notification-silencing, omarchy-notification-dismiss,
default/waybar/indicators/notification-silencing.sh, and the Hyprland
comma-keybinds all route through omarchy-shell-ipc notifications.
- omarchy-capture-screenshot / -screenrecording set the image-path
hint properly so the hero-image rendering kicks in.
Mako removal (migrations/1778743515.sh):
- pkill -x mako, systemctl --user stop mako.service, pacman -Rns mako
(uninstalling deletes /usr/lib/systemd/user/mako.service so D-Bus
activation can't respawn it). Removes ~/.config/mako/ and the legacy
toggle file. Restarts quickshell so it claims the bus name.
- Drops mako from install/omarchy-base.packages, autostart.lua,
install/config/theme.sh + toggles.sh, default/themed/mako.ini.tpl,
default/mako/, the omarchy-menu Mako restart row, bin/omarchy
GROUP_DESCRIPTIONS, the settings panel catalogue, and the
default/omarchy-skill paths table.
- Removed scripts: bin/omarchy-restart-mako,
bin/omarchy-style-corners-mako.
- bin/omarchy-style-corners summary updated; corner radius for the
notification card reads ~/.local/state/omarchy/toggles/quickshell-menu.json
alongside the rest of the shell.
The previous clearBodyFocus() set focus = false on navRoot.activeFocusItem
and called navRoot.forceActiveFocus(), which works for plain Rectangles
but not for Controls 2 widgets like ComboBox: the combo keeps an internal
focused child that the surrounding FocusScope happily restores, so the
accent focus border on the Position/Center anchor dropdowns lingered
after backing out to the sidebar.
Add an invisible 1x1 navFocusSink Item inside navRoot and force focus
onto it whenever the user leaves the body (h/Esc/Shift-Tab, category
changes from sidebar nav, or panel reopens). The sink reliably owns
activeFocus so every body control \u2014 ComboBox included \u2014 falls back to
its unfocused style.
Two related fixes from user feedback on the keyboard nav:
1. Focused and selected controls were drawing the same 2px accent border
so it was impossible to tell where the keyboard cursor was on a row
that happened to also be the current value. Focused now uses a 3px
accent border plus a translucent accent fill; selected keeps its 2px
border with no fill. Centralized into focusBorderColor /
focusBorderWidth / focusFillColor so all components share the look.
2. Backing out of the body to the sidebar (h/Left/Esc) left the focus
ring lingering on the body item. FocusScope was restoring activeFocus
to its remembered descendant when navRoot reclaimed focus.
exitBodyZone (and onActiveCategoryChanged when not in body mode) now
clears focus from the previously active descendant before forcing
focus back onto navRoot.
Two zones — sidebar and body — with vim-style bindings:
sidebar j/Down next category
k/Up previous category
l/Right/Tab/Enter/Ctrl-L enter body
Esc close panel
body j/Down/Tab next focusable
k/Up/Shift-Tab previous focusable
Enter/Space activate focused control
h/Left/Esc/Ctrl-H back to sidebar
Wraps panel content in a FocusScope with Keys.priority: Keys.BeforeItem
so j/k always reach the nav handler even when a child control has focus.
Body focusables are gathered by walking the visible subtree of the active
category for items with activeFocusOnTab — automatically excluding
hidden category branches. Sidebar shows an accent-tinted highlight when
focused; each interactive control (DefaultsRow, StyleOptionTile,
StyleChip, FontRow, StyleToggleRow, ActionPill, IconButton, PluginRow)
renders an accent focus ring while focused.
Consolidates bar-settings into a single 'settings' plugin with sidebar
categories: Defaults, Style, Bar, System, Plugins. Updates supporting
commands (omarchy-launch-settings, omarchy-style-corners-quickshell,
omarchy-theme-list-with-previews, omarchy-hyprland-monitor-scaling-set)
and refreshes sidebar glyphs to Nerd Font icons.
