Five sites hardcoded "#cacccc" or "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font" as the
fallback when no bar context was available. Those magic strings are
the *current* palette defaults — they diverge silently when the theme
changes. Bind to the Color / Style singletons so the fallback tracks
whatever the theme says the foreground / monospace family should be.
Color.qml itself keeps the literal "#cacccc" — that's the seed value
the singleton is bootstrapped with before the theme loads.
Six widgets (clock, daytime, keyboardLayout, lockKeys, activeWindow,
media) shipped identical copies of `function setting(name, fallback)`.
Eight widgets reimplemented `readonly property bool vertical`, and
three reimplemented `readonly property int barSize`. Move all three
onto the BarWidget base so widgets read the same wiring everyone else
gets for free.
While in here, drop the dead `setting()` declaration on media.qml — it
was defined but never called.
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).
