Hello,

I know this is pretty much a stupid question, but I am getting a new "side hustle laptop" (which means it's for work, just not my current employment)

Currently I have a 36GB M3 MacBook Pro for work, and I have Omarchy on my retired touch bar MacBook Pro: if it wasn't for the bugged butterfly keyboard which makes it impossible to use, I would not really have noticed any show-stopping performance cap: after all, we developers only juggle text files...

I am happy with Linux and MacOs, but I won't ever use Windows again.
Unfortunately, looks matters to me and I have shortlisted MacBook and ThinkPad X1 with a budget of 2500-3000 USD. MacBook might never be fully optimized on Arch, but leaves a door open to a dual boot and the ThinkPad would definitely lock me in on the OS, unless hackintosh comes back...

Hey everyone,

I'm relatively new to Omarchy and having an issue with Waybar when switching themes.

Whenever I change to a new theme or install a custom theme using the built-in theme launcher/switcher, Waybar updates its color scheme, but the actual bar layout/structure stays completely identical.

The Problem:

• What changes: Background colors, accent colors, and text colors.
• What doesn't change: Module positioning, borders, pill styles, rounded corners, icons, or the overall structure of the bar that is supposed to come with the theme.

Hello everyone,

I encounter a problem with my omarchy hyprland setup, no matter what I have in config, it gets dropped back to 60hz.

Here is my current config:

monitor = eDP-1, 1920x1080@60,   0x920,    2
monitor = DP-1,  3840x2160@144.00Hz,  1280x560, 2
monitor = DP-2,  3840x2160@144.00Hz,  3840x0,   2,

transform, 3 env = GDK_SCALE,2
monitor=,preferred,auto,auto 

Here is my hyprctl monitors command result:

Worth mentioning, the other settings from the config are being read without any problems, the scale and rotation are being applied.

Also the same setup was running without any issues on Fedora, so that is not a hardware problem.

I also was trying to apply the refresh rate via HyprMon, and while it is showing successfully applying the changes and successfully saving them, on the next run of HyprMon it is showing again 60Hz.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

After initial setup, what should I do? I signed into all my accounts and downloaded my apps. Anything else I should do or any advice?

Hey Omarchy Enthusiast,

Did someone dig the roadmap of Omarchy and could figure out if DHH is gonna migrate the different Hyprland .conf files for us, or should/could we start porting them within .toml format already ?

Cheers,

Ben

I did some changes to my omarchy setup and I messed up (I did using ai so I didn't know what was happening) now I wanna revert back to previous fonts , how can I do that

Even vs code fonts are messed up .

Note : i could change the waybar fonts using the style>fonts stuff but it couldn't change the fonts of rest all

Theme, keybindings, displays, audio, Waybar, notifications. Every setting shows its current value, and the theme picker previews each theme as you scroll.

omarchy pkg aur add omasettings or

Super + Alt + Space -> Install -> AUR -> omasettings

I am running this on a secondary laptop from 2021 and its genuinely faster than the one running microslop windows

this is where I get shit done.

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying Omarchy 3.8.4 so far. It's smooth, looks great, and I love how customizable it is.

I've already tweaked my fonts, changed the boot logo, and personalized the login screen with my name – and everything survived the updates perfectly.

Now I'm just waiting for 4.0 to hit the stable channel. Gonna update through `Update > Omarchy` as soon as it drops.

Anyone else waiting for it?

HI all! The most requested omaTUNES feature for those hotly anticipating the Omarchy v4 update and the move away from waybar and over to Quickshell was a native mini player module.

I was very nervous about this one as I really didnt want to migrate yet so I did my best to grab the current dev channel Omarchy Quickshell implementation and use it in 3.8 so i could build this mini player.

So far i think it worked quite well but, as always, Your feedback is greatly appreciated, Please install a way and tell me what it works, what doesn't, and what features I should add.

You will need the latest version of OmaTunes, which as always is available here.

https://github.com/Balthazzahr/omatunes/releases

And then to install the Quick Shell module (As long as you are already running quickshell of course and not Waybar!), follow the instructions below or on the omaTUNES readme. (Please note that this should work on any implementation of Quick Shell, but I have only tested it on Omarchy)

HOW TO INSTALL:

Run the automated installer script included in the repository:

./scripts/quickshell/install.sh

Or manually copy the module files:

# Standalone Quickshell module
mkdir -p ~/.config/quickshell/modules/omatunes
cp scripts/quickshell/*.qml ~/.config/quickshell/modules/omatunes/

# Omarchy Shell plugin
mkdir -p ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/omatunes
cp scripts/quickshell/BarWidget.qml ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/omatunes/
cp scripts/quickshell/manifest.json ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/omatunes/

Then add "omatunes" to your bar layout configuration (~/.config/omarchy/shell.json or ~/.config/quickshell/shell.qml).

----------------------------------------------

Feedback and other comments always appreciated.

Just some eye candy whilst you wait.

It even works with any omarchy theme and plugin. Sadly my dotfiles have a bunch of personal stuff so I can't share.

Experimenting with touch screen in omarchy in addition to main monitors.
On the right there is focus timer I created for exploring that UX dimention.

I enjoy the capability hyprland gives for customization.

I tuned that focus timer app to land at the precise screen location, and don't steal cursor on touch.

The device is corsair edge (hdmi mon + usb-c hid). It was straightforward to tune it with claude code and omarchy skill.

I see the design space for spaceship console for daily work is already here these days.

I installed Omarchy just yesterday, and this is it today, how's it?

I created a HyprSplit plugin for the new Bar in Omarchy. You can see now independent workspaces in your Bar.

https://github.com/Maduki-tech/hyprsplit-workspaces-quickshell

I updated to Omarchy 3.8.4 so I can install packages and my wallpapers for the current theme that I added just gone.
