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.
The bin names should reflect the thing they manage. `refresh bar` is
misleading because the command resets the entire shell.json (which holds
plugins beyond just the bar), and `restart quickshell` names the runtime
rather than the product. Both now end in `-shell` to match the rest of
omarchy-shell.
Updates every caller in autostart, the menu, voxtype helpers, and the
shell README. No behavior changes.
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.
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.
