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.
First-party plugins
These plugins ship with Omarchy and are loaded by the shell at startup.
They use the same manifest.json contract as third-party plugins; the
only difference is that the shell flags them with __isFirstParty: true
so they cannot be disabled.
User-installed plugins live alongside these conceptually but on disk under
~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/ rather than in this directory.
| Plugin | id | kinds | activation | entry point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bar | omarchy.bar |
bar |
persistent | bar/Bar.qml |
| Settings | omarchy.settings |
panel |
on-demand | settings/SettingsPanel.qml |
| Image picker | omarchy.image-picker |
overlay |
on-demand | image-picker/ImagePicker.qml |
| Omarchy menu | omarchy.menu |

on-demand | menu/Menu.qml |
Bar
The status bar. Mounted at startup, lives forever. Layout lives in the
top-level bar: subtree of ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json (with the shell
providing shell-defaults.json when the user has
no file). Owns the bar IPC target for refresh hooks fired by indicator
scripts. See bar/README.md for the widget catalogue
and customization schema.
Bar settings
Visual editor for the entire shell config. Summoned by
omarchy-shell-ipc shell summon omarchy.settings "{}" (which is what
omarchy launch settings ultimately calls). Provides:
- per-section add/move/remove/edit of bar widget entries
- a separate "Other plugins" section for panels, overlays, services,
and menus (entries that live in
plugins[]rather than the bar layout) - a Plugin Manager tab listing every discovered plugin with its manifest
- a dynamic settings form driven by each widget's manifest schema, that writes inline back to the corresponding shell.json entry
Image picker
Fullscreen image-grid selector overlay. Used by omarchy-menu-images
(wallpaper picker) and omarchy-theme-switcher (theme picker) and any
other caller that wants to present a directory of images with previews.
Two ways to drive it:
- Shell-level summon:
omarchy-shell-ipc shell summon omarchy.image-picker '<jsonPayload>'. The payload can carryimageDirs,imageRows,selectedImage,selectionFile,doneFile,colorsFile,colorsRaw,showLabels,filterable. Best for in-shell callers that already speak JSON. - Direct IPC target:
omarchy-shell-ipc image-selector open <imageDirs> <imageRowsB64> <selectedImage> <selectionFile> <doneFile> <colorsFile> <colorsRawB64> <showLabels> <filterable>. Positional args;imageRowsB64andcolorsRawB64are base64-encoded so embedded newlines / tabs survive the bash argv handoff. This is whatomarchy-menu-imagesuses.
The selection round-trip remains file-based: callers create a
selection_file and done_file (both mktemp), pass the paths, and
poll done_file for existence. The plugin writes the chosen path into
selection_file and touches done_file when it's done. cancel IPC
clears it without writing a selection.
The plugin has keepLoaded: true so the layer-shell window survives
between summons within a single shell session.
Omarchy menu
Quickshell-powered replacement for the legacy Walker-driven omarchy-menu.
The menu UI lives in menu/Menu.qml as a first-party menu plugin and is
summoned through the shell (omarchy-shell-ipc shell summon omarchy.menu ...),
so it shares the long-running omarchy-shell process instead of starting a
second Quickshell instance.
The menu definition lives outside the shell host code:
- defaults:
default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc - user extensions:
~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc
bin/omarchy-menu still owns the Bash action helpers and dynamic providers;
it builds the menu JSON, summons omarchy.menu, waits for the selection, and
runs the selected action.

omarchy.theme-switcher— folds theme switching into the shell.
