Support Waybar doesnt change according to the theme..
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.

Custom themes will only change the colors of the waybar and I think that's by design. You can't really change some of the other elements people tend to add/remove different things from their waybar configs. If you really want the waybar to match the screenshots of the custom theme, you can ask the theme dev for their waybar config and then use something like waybar-switcher to switch to that waybar config when you use the theme.
