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).
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.

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.bar-settings "{}" (which is what
omarchy launch bar-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.
