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

Hyprland 0.53 compatibility - window/layer rule syntax breaking changesrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:49 UTC via poll

System details

  • OS: Arch Linux (rolling)
  • Hyprland: 0.53.0
  • Omarchy: 3.2.3

What's wrong?

When using Omarchy 3.2.3 with Hyprland 0.53.0 (from official Arch mirrors when Omarchy mirror is unavailable), config errors appear at startup due to breaking syntax changes in Hyprland 0.53.

Error Example

Config error in file /home/vs/.local/share/omarchy/default/hypr/apps/hyprshot.conf at line 2: invalid field selection: missing a value
Config error in file /home/vs/.local/share/omarchy/default/hypr/apps/walker.conf at line 2: invalid field walker: missing a value
(47 more...)

Cause

Hyprland 0.53 overhauled the window rule and layer rule syntax:

Window Rules:

# Old syntax
windowrule = <rule>, class:<pattern>

# New syntax  
windowrule = match:class <pattern>, <rule>

Layer Rules:

# Old syntax
layerrule = <rule>, <namespace>

# New syntax
layerrule = match:namespace <namespace>, <rule>
