With bin/omarchy-menu gone there's no caller that summons the menu by
writing a JSON tempfile and polling a done file. Drop everything that
existed only to support that handshake:
- menuJsonFile / menuJsonFileView / loadMenuJson / openMenu(json,...)
- pendingSelectionFile / pendingDoneFile / selectionFile / doneFile
- mergeProviderJson (the JSON-wrapper for provider output)
- applyProc / releaseProc / doneFilesToRelease / finishDoneFile /
releaseNextDoneFile / resetRequest / requestActive / closeMenu
- the menuBin property pointing at the deleted bin
applySelected is now four lines (close + execDetached); cancel is two
(close + clear filter). open() takes either {menu: id} or a bare initial
menu name, and hands off to openExistingMenu which uses the cached items
from the JSONC FileViews.
Net: 91 lines smaller, no perf change.
The shell now owns the menu — both data and dispatch. The 821-line bash
bin was carrying the open path (cold spawn + jq pipeline + tempfile dance
+ IPC + poll) and a grab-bag of helpers that only existed inside it. Both
go away in this commit.
New bins for the few composite helpers that were genuinely worth keeping:
- omarchy-install-app NAME PKG
- omarchy-install-and-launch NAME PKG DESKTOP_ID
- omarchy-install-font LABEL PKG FAMILY
- omarchy-launch-config-editor PATH
- omarchy-reminder-set-interactive
- omarchy-capture-screenrecording-with-webcam
Sweep through default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc rewrites:
- present_terminal X -> omarchy-launch-floating-terminal-with-presentation X
- install_terminal X -> omarchy-launch-floating-terminal-with-presentation 'omarchy-install-terminal X'
- install / install_and_launch / install_font / open_in_editor -> new bins above
- terminal X -> xdg-terminal-exec --app-id=org.omarchy.terminal X
- default_browser_is X -> [[ "$(omarchy-default-browser)" == "X" ]]
- default_terminal_is X / default_editor_is X / haptic_touchpad_is X same shape
- $(hypr_config_file X) -> ~/.config/hypr/X.lua
- show_custom_reminder_input -> omarchy-reminder-set-interactive
- screenrecord_with_webcam -> omarchy-capture-screenrecording-with-webcam
- stop_active_screenrecording -> omarchy-capture-screenrecording --stop-recording
Hyprland bindings switch from `omarchy-menu X` to
`omarchy-shell-ipc menu summon X` (the keybind hot path now skips bash
entirely). The Bar.qml omarchy widget and the battery right-click do the
same. ALT+PRINT becomes a one-liner: stop the recording if one is going,
otherwise summon the screenrecord submenu.
Measured: keybind-to-visible is ~30ms (was ~235ms). The shell's plugin
keepLoaded:true stops being theoretical \u2014 the menu data lives in memory
across opens, and the only work between keypress and paint is the IPC
roundtrip and the layer-shell window mount.
omarchy-menu used to spawn an 821-line bash bin on every keybind: 11 jq
invocations against omarchy-menu.jsonc, mktemp dance, summon, poll. The
shell waited ~235ms (keybind to visible) before painting the first row.
The bar plugin host is already a persistent process with the menu plugin
loaded (keepLoaded: true) — it just wasn't allowed to own the menu data.
Now it does:
- parseMenuJsonc / normalizeItem ports the bash bin's jq pipeline to
JS: strip // comments + trailing commas, infer parent from dotted
ids, dedupe keyword tokens across id/aliases/keywords, fill defaults.
- Two FileViews with watchChanges: true on the default and user
extension JSONCs. Edit either file and the in-memory item map
refreshes without a restart.
- IpcHandler exposes menu.summon(initialMenu) / refresh() / close() /
ping(). summon resolves aliases the way the old bash route_target
did, including the leaf-alias-is-an-action shortcut.
- Action dispatch is now direct: when summoned via IPC (no selection
or done file), Quickshell.execDetached(['bash','-lc', action]) runs
the action and the menu closes. The legacy tempfile dance is kept
only for the duration of the migration window.
- provider sub-menus (fonts, power-profiles) are inline: tab-delimited
bash one-liner per provider, parsed by mergeProviderRows.
- when:/checked: bash expressions are batched into one Process at
shell startup (and again whenever the JSONCs change). The menu
opens instantly; visibility/check marks settle within ~50ms.
Measured: keybind-to-visible via the new IPC path is ~30ms (was ~235ms).
The bash bin still works for now and is removed in the next commit.
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.
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.
Chat apps (Vesktop, etc.) can rapid-fire the same Notify D-Bus call when
they sync, leaving the pending tab with hundreds of byte-identical rows
because the old handler appended unconditionally and never re-entered the
`markSeenByOriginalId` path for follow-up arrivals.
- addToPending + popup-insert now remove any existing row matching the
same `originalId` before insertion, honoring the freedesktop
"replaces_id" semantics that chat apps rely on.
- loadHistory dedupes by originalId on hydration, so existing on-disk
files with the old duplicate-laden schema collapse on next start.
- loadHistory also guards against re-entry: FileView fires onLoaded
more than once during startup (initial preload + Component.onCompleted
reload), and the old version would double the model each fire.
While in here, move the persistent notifications.json out of `~/.cache`
to `~/.local/state/omarchy` so a "clear cache" habit no longer drops
DND preference and notification history. The image thumbnail cache stays
in ~/.cache where regeneratable artifacts belong.
- Discovered devices now populate via a new `discoveredDevices` filter; the
Repeater was referencing a property that did not exist.
- Pairing chains into trust + connect at root scope, so freshly-paired
devices (especially audio headphones) persist in BlueZ and actually
finish connecting instead of flashing "Connected" and disappearing.
- Wrap the device list in a Flickable capped at 400px with a scroll bar
so crowded RF environments do not grow the popup off-screen.
- Reorder MouseAreas so the per-row X button receives clicks instead of
the full-row click handler swallowing them.
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 tray drawer reserves space for its slide-in animation; placed
mid-section that gap was always visible. Now:
- normalizeLayout moves any tray entry to the section's inner edge
(start of right, end of left/center) so the reserved gap sits next
to the bar center instead of stranded mid-section.
- TrayModule reads its own entry settings to support pinned[] and
hidden[] arrays of SNI ids. Pinned icons render to the right of the
chevron (always visible); hidden icons never render; the rest fall
into the drawer.
- Right-click the chevron opens a management popup listing every
reporting tray item with Pin/Unpin and Hide/Show pills. Toggles
persist via shell.updateEntryInline.
- Bar imports common/ as BarCommon so the tray can reach PopupCard
and PillButton for the popup.
Bar now shows just the chip glyph; hover opens the existing CPU+Memory
graphs popup, left-click launches btop. Removes the inline sparklines,
the right-click→alacritty binding, and the redundant Open btop pill.
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.
Network panel now polls 'ip route get 1.1.1.1' for the active interface
and renders a key/value grid with IP/CIDR, gateway, link speed +
duplex (ethernet) or signal/freq/bitrate (Wi-Fi). One bash script
collects everything in TSV.
Wi-Fi list now works on Omarchy's default iwd+impala stack: when
nmcli isn't installed, falls back to 'iwctl station <dev> get-networks'
and parses the connected/SSID/signal/security columns. The list is
hidden entirely when no Wi-Fi station device exists (ethernet-only
machines).
Right-click on the bar widget and the bottom 'Open Wi-Fi manager
(Impala)' button both run omarchy-launch-wifi directly (was wrapped
in extra OMARCHY_PATH= env that wasn't actually doing anything).
Was gated on isConnected; users with paired-but-disconnected devices
(or devices Quickshell hasn't flagged as connected yet) saw no button
at all. Now shows on every known device. Action follows state:
connected -> disconnect, otherwise -> forget. Tooltip label flips to
match.
Bluetooth rows no longer hover-show a tooltip — clicking to connect
or pair is self-evident from the layout. Connected rows now ignore
their own click and surface a small × button on the right that
disconnects (with its own tooltip + urgent-color hover affordance).
Right-click still forgets the device.
PillButton's attached ToolTip is now a styled instance — uses the
widget's foreground color for text + border and a configurable
tooltipBackground (defaults to a near-black, overridable to
bar.background). No more stock OS chrome inside our popups.
Bluetooth panel passes bar.background/foreground through to its
header pills and replaces the row tooltip with the same themed style.
Each device row is now a two-line entry: name on top, status on the
bottom (Connected · 80%, Connecting…, Pairing…, Disconnecting…, Failed,
Available · click to pair, or Paired). Status text and the bluetooth
icon both color-code by state — connected/active draws in foreground,
idle in dim, failed in urgent.
Pending click attempts arm a 10s timer; if the device hasn't reached
the expected state by then the row flips to 'Failed' with an urgent
color so you can see the connect attempt didn't take. State change
listeners clear the pending flag the moment the device actually
connects or pairs.
Hover tooltips and right-click-to-forget moved into the row so the
behavior is self-contained.
- Scan and Manage are now small icon-only buttons in the header beside
the On/Off pill, with hover tooltips via the new PillButton.tooltipText
prop (backed by QtQuick.Controls ToolTip).
- New discoveredDevices list pulls everything in Bluetooth.devices that
isn't paired/connected/bonded/trusted. While scanning, those appear
under a 'Discovered' header. Click pairs and connects.
- Empty-state text only shows when there are no known and no
discovered devices, otherwise it would push down real entries.
- Header now uses anchors so the on/off pill sits cleanly at the right
instead of relying on a fixed-width spacer that drifted as content
grew.
- Discovery toggle moved out of the header and into a labeled action
row alongside a new 'Manage…' button that launches
omarchy-launch-bluetooth (the Impala TUI).
- Empty-state message tells you what to do based on adapter state
(off / scanning / no paired devices) instead of one generic line.
wttr.in query switched from one-blob format to pipe-delimited fields
(location|condition|temp|feels|wind|humidity). The popup parses each
piece into its own property and renders a clean key/value grid:
fort lauderdale, florida, us
Partly cloudy
Temperature +82°F (feels +91°F)
Wind ↗15mph
Humidity 82%
[Refresh] [wttr.in]
PopupCard gains a triggerMode property — "click" stays as the default
(focus-grab dismissal), "hover" skips the grab so the cursor can move
freely between the trigger and the card. PopupCard also exposes a
containsMouse alias for widgets that want to coordinate hover state.
Weather widget now shows on hover and hides 220ms after the cursor
leaves both the trigger and the popup. The redundant tooltip is gone —
the popup is the detail view. Click is still wired for refresh
(middle) and notification dump (right).
PopupCard now uses HyprlandFocusGrab so any popup in the shell closes
when the user clicks outside it (or any other window in the listed set).
Single primitive — every widget gets it for free.
Weather popup rewritten:
- Smaller cloud glyph beside the city name on one row, both vertically
centered.
- Condition string flows on its own line and wraps inside the popup.
- Refresh and wttr.in pills sit side by side instead of stacked, no
more dead vertical space.
- contentHeight tracks the actual content height so the popup is no
taller than it needs to be.
The legacy 'workspaces' built-in renders cleaner than the animated
workspacesPro file widget. Removed the widget file, its first-party
registration in Bar.qml, and updated the default layouts and docs.
'workspaces' loses the (legacy) tag in the catalog since there's no
alternative anymore.
omarchy.bar-settings and omarchy.image-picker are shell infrastructure —
the customizer and image picker themselves. Listing them in 'Other
plugins' with move/remove arrows is misleading: removing the panel
plugin doesn't disable anything (it's summoned on demand via IPC), and
adding them never made sense.
Dropped them from shell-defaults.json's plugins[] and from the inline
builtinShellConfig fallback. normalizeDraft and availableToAdd now skip
manifests with __isFirstParty so existing user shell.json files
self-heal on next load.
Two handlers were declared for the same property-change signal — QML
refuses to load the file with 'Property value set multiple times', so
summoning omarchy.bar-settings failed silently. Merged the debug log
into the existing catalogRevision++ handler.
