Based entirely on the work of @robzolkos in #5711. That attempt was
adapted to better fit the standard templating system while also adding
color mixing for use in other themes.
omarchy-shell's bar plugin replaces waybar on every default path, so the
waybar package, configs, indicator scripts, and toggle/restart/refresh
binaries all go away in this commit.
The four small helper scripts that Bar.qml shells out to (weather.sh and
indicators/*.sh) move with the shell rather than disappear \u2014 they live
at default/quickshell/omarchy-shell/scripts/ now, alongside the rest of
the shell code.
Companion script changes:
- omarchy-shell-ipc gains --if-running so fire-and-forget refresh
callers (toggle-idle, toggle-notification-silencing,
update-available-reset, capture-screenrecording) don't accidentally
spawn the shell when it isn't already up.
- omarchy-theme-set, omarchy-tz-select, omarchy-voxtype-{install,model},
omarchy-toggle-nightlight, omarchy-voxtype-config drop their waybar
branches and comments.
- omarchy-voxtype-status's summary stops claiming it's a Waybar helper.
- omarchy-base.packages drops waybar; install/packaging/fonts.sh's
comment points at the new bar consumer.
- SKILL.md / AGENTS.md / omarchy-menu.jsonc lose their waybar entries.
- test/omarchy-cli-test.sh substitutes a remaining toggle command.
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.
Helix had no theme integration. Installing it from the menu just ran
omarchy-pkg-add and left the editor on whatever default theme it shipped
with, regardless of the active Omarchy palette.
This adds `default/themed/helix.toml.tpl` so the template
renderer produces a helix.toml on every theme switch, and
`omarchy-install-helix` that wires Helix up:
- install the package
- symlink `~/.config/helix/themes/omarchy.toml` at the rendered theme
- seed a config.toml selecting that theme when the user has none
The install menu routes Helix through this script. omarchy-restart-helix
joins omarchy-theme-set and signals Helix with SIGUSR1 so theme changes
are live [[1]], the same way as other packages. Arch-based distros
package the binary as 'helix' rather than upstream 'hx', so the new
scripts target 'helix' and the installer ends with a hint about aliasing
'hx'.

Instead of choosing exclusively between the official or user theme
directory, copy the official theme first, then overlay any user
customizations on top. This allows users to override specific files
(e.g. colors, backgrounds, keyboard backlight) without having to
duplicate the entire theme.

* Cleanup
* Slim down
* Combine render into -set
* Pull out the dynamic template rendering again, but simpler
* Fix vars
* Variables are lowercase
* Better presentation
* Fix missing colors
* Provide stripped values too
* Fix colors for regular hex format
* Bring back explicit btop themes
They're too involved to derive from a basic color set
* Make an atomic swap of the theme directories
* No longer used by walker to cancel
* Explain why
* Remove redundant const
* Consistent const naming
* No longe have $THEMES_DIR
* Correct the blue
* Set opencode colors too
* Fix colors for readability
* Move the templates together with the others in default
* Split user themes and default themes
* Fix paths
* Look for both user themes and default themes
Plus speed things up
* Migrate to the new setup where default themes live inside omarchy
* Explicitly store the name of the current theme
* Cleanup
* No longer need omarchy-theme-next since themes are now fully rendered, not symlinks
* Get current theme name from the new theme.name file
* Look for user background images in dedicated directory

We no longer have symlinks
* Migrate existing user backgrounds to the new proper location
* Install user backgrounds in the correct path
* Fix quoting
* Just rely on the system theme for opencode and get ready for USRSIG2 being available to live reload
* Fix template generation for rgb colors
* feat: obsidian theme to tie into Omarchy theme
* better color matching for search result matches
* feat: simplify install flow
* Removed install/remove scripts and flow
* First `omarchy-theme-set-obsidian` run will look for vaults in
Documents and Dropbox folders and add them to
`/.local/state/omarchy/obsidian-vaults`
* Point of this is such that we assume a couple locations to look for
vaults but allow people to add vaults to the file for custom locations.
Subsequent theme-set invocations aren't impacted by find/search on large
systems
* Each `omarchy-theme-set` invocation will install the themes on all
found/registered vaults if missing and update the live theme
* Added an option of `omarchy-theme-set-obsidian --reset` to wipe out
themes in registered vaults and remove the registry file. This would be
the option to re-run to the automatic vault registration.
* Added migration to trigger install immediately in Obisdian, note that
you still need to pick Omarchy theme.
* Imitating VSCode omarchy-theme-set
* Changed VSCode theme setter take arguments to Cursor theme setter could call it.
* All omarchy commands are in path
