Project overview

Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Switching between apps on the same workspace is not as smooth as switching between workspacesrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:42 UTC via poll

Switching between apps instead of workspaces causes re-renders/layouting.

System details

AMD 9950x3d, 5090, Omarchy 3.1+ - same on all my machines

What's wrong?

Expected

A smooth, or instant transition.

Observed

A choppy, relayouting, flashing transition.

DL (right click - save) https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a4e66cfe-53fc-4349-921b-aa90b2d3d421

Steps

  • close all apps
  • open a terminal, full width mode
  • run omarchy-launch-or-focus chromium "chromium https://www.cnn.com"
  • switch back, do it again

and if you don't have any window rules switching workspaces here, you should see the bad behaviour.

I find that if you switch between workspaces, the behavior is good, if you switch between apps, the behavior is bad..
