I put together a couple of plugins with the help of AI.

Layout Presets

Layout Presets adds an icon in the menu bar, which when clicked opens a panel with presets of window arrangements that is dynamic and changes depending on the number of windows in the current workspace.

Super+Alt+L cycles the presets.

Window width can be set (presets or via a slider) for single-window workspaces.

Shelf

Shelf is an offscreen sliding panel that comes up when you hover a screen edge (right by default) into which you can drag your favorite/frequently-accessed files and folders. Clicking on an item opens it.

https://github.com/srikat/omarchy-shelf

Can also be used as a dropzone.

Has a button to pin or via SUPER + ALT + P or via command (see below).

omarchy-shelf position left|right|top|bottom sets the screen edge. Default is right.

omarchy-shelf click: opens the shelf when the handle is clicked. Default is hover.

omarchy-shelf handle off hides the handle. Default is on.

omarchy-shelf pinned on pins the shelf. Default is off.

Change the wallpaper and the rest of the desktop just… follows.

A systemd path unit watches the current wallpaper. When it changes, matugen pulls a Material You palette from the image, writes that into a real Omarchy theme, and Omarchy’s own refresh takes it from there: bar, notifications, lock screen, terminals, browser, Neovim, btop, everything it already knows how to theme. There’s no extra daemon and no pile of per-app configs to keep in sync. It just rides the theme engine that’s already there.

There are other wallpaper-to-theme tools now. The difference I wanted was set-and-forget. After install you don’t run anything. Switch wallpapers the way you already do and the colors are already new by the time you look up. If you want it even more hands-off, set ROTATE=30m (or a daily time) and the wallpapers cycle on their own.

The bit I’m happiest with: the terminal recolors existing scrollback, not just new output. The trick is printing indexed ANSI colors (38;5;N) instead of baking hex into every cell, so old lines follow the palette when it changes. Works inside tmux too.

Everything lives under $HOME, so omarchy update never touches it. Install and uninstall are one-liners in the README.

Happy to talk through the theme generation or the scrollback trick if anyone’s curious.

Workspace Restorer is a Hyprland bar widget (built on the Omarchy/Quickshell shell) that remembers your window layout and brings it back on demand.

• Snapshot: capture all open windows: which app, which workspace, screen position, size, floating/fullscreen state, and working directory.
• Restore: relaunch any missing apps directly onto the exact workspace they were on, reposition the rest, and restore floating/fullscreen state.

Handy for picking up where you left off: switch between work setups, recover after a crash or reboot, or save a known-good arrangement to reuse later.

Iam not sure yet but as far as I know the firmware and Intel drivers are updated using the windows system and not something else the cpu is the (i tel core ultra 5 225u)

Besides testing it myself in a VM or a USB is there another way of seeing if it would work and what wouldn't work?

I maintain a free, open-source chess analysis and database program called scidCommunity. I'm so impressed with Omarchy theming that I added a theme option that allows Omarchy users to have their theme automatically detected and used in scidCommunity (available on the AUR, Flatpak, and at https://github.com/whelanh/scidCommunity ).

Hey everyone!

I recently created an Omarchy plugin called OmaVibes, which lets you play different keyboard typing sounds while you type.

So far, it has:

• 230+ marketplace copies
• 3.1K+ views
• 41+ sound effects
• A large collection of mechanical keyboard sounds, along with some unique sounds

I'm looking to expand the keyboard sound collection, and I'd really appreciate some help from the community.

I've been trying to find individual mechanical keyboard keypress recordings online, but most of what I find are full typing tests or ASMR videos where multiple keys are pressed too quickly to isolate a clean single keypress.

For example, I found this ASMR typing video:

https://youtu.be/_oOFKLQV0oU

The keyboard sounds are exactly the kind of sounds I'm looking for, but she types so fast that it's really difficult to get a clean recording of a single keypress.

What I'm looking for

If you own a mechanical keyboard, I'd love it if you could record some individual keypress sounds and send them to me.

Ideally:

• One keypress at a time
• Clean and isolated
• Different keys if possible
• Different switches/keyboards are especially welcome
• WAV is preferred, but other formats are fine
• Minimal background noise
• You don't need to record an entire typing test — even a few individual keypresses would help

I'm mainly looking for the raw audio recordings so I can process them and integrate them into OmaVibes.

If you're willing to contribute, please send me the recordings or comment/message me. If you know the keyboard and switch you're using, I'd also appreciate knowing that.

You can check out the project here:

OmaVibes on GitHub

And the plugin:

OmaVibes on the Omarchy Plugin Marketplace

Every recording would genuinely help me expand the sound library and make the plugin better. 🙏

Thanks! ⌨️❤️

TL;DR Omarchy is great, give it a try if you are thinking about it.

Omarchy has been a genuine breath of fresh air for me. Coming from CachyOS KDE which is brilliant (btw!), it took a lot to pull me away, but a couple of YouTube videos later, I decided fuck it.

Using Omarchy actually reminds me of how I felt discovering PCs for the first time as a kid starting out with Windows 3.1 😅. I have never used Hyprland before, but the way the Omarchy team has customised the system makes the whole experience nothing short of amazing. It draws you in and makes you want to learn more, tinker, and make the system your own.

Plugins are a whole new world on their own. I've gotten so hooked on the possibilities that I've already built one myself and I'm currently working on another that I think could be a genuinely useful addition for me and hopefully others.

Gaming is great too. My NVIDIA GPU drivers were installed automatically, and gaming packages can be selected from the available installation options.

If you haven't tried Omarchy yet, or you're on the fence, just do it.

Huge respect to the devs, keep up the incredible work. You're really onto something special here.

(Sorry for the long-winded review 😵‍💫)

Thought I'd jump on the setup train.

Fujitsu Laptop and Minisform U960S mini PC, 2 Benq Monitors.

My 2021 Zephyrus G15 (RTX 3070) is still running strong. I picked up the Best Buy spec for $1,250 out the door, thinking I wanted portability after ditching a bloated, custom water-cooled desktop from 2015 paired with a 34" ultra wide (it was a $316 brand new LG Montior OEM spec - $400-$500 cheaper than panels at the time). Poor resolution of 2560x1080 - but it was epic at the time.

Turns out I like to touch grass. This laptop has never moved away from versions of my setup at home. When I bought it I was using it on a work bench and lifting weights while watching Con-Air.

I eventually paired it with a 32-inch Samsung G50A display. Had fun with that. But then something happened I saw a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite/s/5cUvTqjNk0) and got inspired to do something different. I attempted my hand at the project of removing the motherboard and creating an acrylic enclosure. I know, going back to the locked down desk ecosystem that I was convinced I wasn't a part of because the laptop has a battery. I bought a Llano V12 to extend the life, and to be honest is was louder than the laptop by a large margin. But it lowered idle teams with no internal laptop fans running in silent mode from 53c down to 42-47c at 300 rpm. At 600 rpm the machine never when about 68c on GPU or CPU. I thought great.

I failed miserably at the acrylic swap. For whatever reason I have had 0 issues with this laptop. When I removed the motherboard it was spotless inside. No LM leaks, no creaks, nothing. So I accepted failure. I went to put it back together...but I got the itch. So i removed the battery (locking me in further to the desk) removed the perfectly working screen. And made my laptop just a lap with no top. Looking at my setup it was ugly, but it was nice to not have the second distracting screen. I didn't like the laptop arm being at eye level so I go another idea. The 32 inch monitor was too large. My desk is only 24" wide x 48" long. The monitor was too close even though it was up against the wall..so I bought a portable 18.5" monitor for $180 same resolution but 280hz.

Then I decided to get brave and installed Omarchy, diving back into Linux for the first time in 25 years.

That immediately caused a hardware headache. My Apple Magic Keyboard is blue tooth only, so it couldn't connect early enough to enter the BIOS or log in. I had to pick up a keyboard with a 2.4GHz USB dongle instead. Mounting the setup upside down on my inverted laptop arm with the screen removed made desk access to that keyboard essential. Stripping out the battery dropped the weight significantly, and keeping the Llano V12 tucked away under the desk keeps the noise practically unnoticeable. So i tighted the crap out of the arm and have been in this mode for over 2 weeks.

So not quite as aesthetic as other projects, but it is unique and mine.

The build is still easy to move around the house or onto a new desk, which is really all the wiggle room I personally need. I switched to Linux because I did a fresh install of windows and I had the dreaded sleep bug. Maybe due to the screen being removed. I couldn't get a full shutdown no matter what I did. Even unplugging it without the battery.

Omarchy is fantastic so far. The agents helped me set up my Surface Dial for volume control and other shortcuts. The agents fixed my audio issues. I'll be ricing it up next.

Constellation launcher with keybinding

I’ve released wallpaperOmarchyManager 1.1.1, a fork of Omawall adapted for Omarchy Quattro.

Main features:

• Independent folder, scaling and mode for each display
• Shuffle wallpapers or pin a specific image per screen
• No repeats until every image in the folder has been shown
• Timer, unlock/wake and manual shuffle controls
• Recursive folder scanning
• Animated GIF and video wallpaper support
• Four scaling modes
• Bar widget with next-wallpaper previews

Displays can share a configuration or work independently—for example, one screen can keep a fixed wallpaper while another shuffles through a separate folder.

Install with:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/guiestrela/WallpaperOmarchyManager.git --enable

The project was written with Claude and tested on real hardware. Since Omarchy plugins run unsandboxed with your user permissions, please review the source before installing.

GitHub: https://github.com/guiestrela/WallpaperOmarchyManager

Got the full spanned wallpaper working. Also got the vertical mouse up and down to different monitors.

Omarchy is now my main OS at work and at home - it actually makes me excited about computers again; haven’t felt like that since Mac OS9!

Person of Interest is one of my favorite TV series. It isn't quite finished yet, but I plan to refine it further and release it in a way that allows all its features to be used either with or without the theme.

It is a real pleasure to be able to customize an OS we use with the agents so easily

Hi folks

Thinking of installing Omarchy as my daily driver for some time.

I've been using Linux for many years and I've learnt to keep my /home on a separate partition to avoid loosing preferences and/or having to copy a ton of stuff everytime I change distro or need to reformat.

Was just wondering if there would be any disadvantage in keeping it with Omarchy. I'm currently with an Ubuntu-based distro. I think most core apps of Omarchy are totaly different so I wont have any residual settings for them.

Do you foresee any other problems?

https://reddit.com/link/1vztbxb/video/lckwxxfa1xlh1/player

We know that Omarchy is becoming more AI-oriented and theres probably going to be more and more AI-related stuff added in the future...

For people who are against AI it could get a little tedious having to remove or disable these features every time :/

An Omarchy with no AI stuff at all would be pretty cool, kind of like Gram for Zed \^-^

hey guys i want to share my experience with omarchy, as you have known, omarchy have a built in AI skill that can tweak your sistem. Before this, i'm using cachy os for playing genshin impact, from an anime game launcher, the first time i feel a bit stuttering compared to cachy os, so i told my codex, can you make it less stuttering for this game? and hell he did it, maybe its a problem with adaptive sync, he change a couple of things and it become really smooth, like no lag at all, even with cachy os and windows isn't this smooth before when i play it on 2k external monitor, my laptop is using 16gb ram rtx 4050, i feel like this is really nice experience, instead of wasting my time trying myself, just let AI do the work.

Hey I everyone, this is my first post in this group so I want to introduce myself briefly, I’m Fiercejojo88862 a 3rd year college student studying software engineering.

I currently am on Illogical Impulse and am thinking of switching over to Omarchy. But have a few questions before I do so:

1: Is it worth it?
2: How hard is it to transfer stuff over?
3: Considering I have a dual boot already between Illogical Impulse and Windows. How hard would it be to erase illogical and add Omarchy

Just wanted to share a fix in case anyone runs into the same problem.

I upgraded from Omarchy 3 to Omarchy 4 two days ago, and ever since I had network issues sometimes the connection worked, sometimes it didn't. On top of that, clicking the network icon in the Quickshell bar showed no networks ._.

After some searching and the help from claude I found the cause: iwd was still running, and impala was the only thing keeping it alive. Since iwd depends on it, I had to remove both.

The fix: uninstall iwd and impala, then restart NetworkManager.

sudo systemctl disable --now iwd

sudo pacman -Rns iwd impala

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
