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

`PATH` is being overriden inside `omarchy-menu`revision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:56 UTC via poll

System details

Omarchy 3.6.0

What's wrong?

L5 in `omarchy-menu` sets PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/omarchy/bin:$PATH"

But install.sh already defines this:

# Define Omarchy locations
export OMARCHY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/omarchy"
export PATH="$OMARCHY_PATH/bin:$PATH"

Why is this an issue?

In my .config/hypr/envs.conf I set my PATH to first look for my custom scripts:

env = PATH,$HOME/scripts:$PATH

This not only makes it possible to tell hyprland where to look for custom scripts, but also allows me to create wrapper scripts around things like omarchy-menu with extra functionality.

For instance, I want to run a custom script right before the omarchy-lock-screen runs.

Instead of changing system files and risk having these changes removed on the next update, I create a $HOME/scripts/omarchy-lock-screen that runs my custom script and then explicitly runs $OMARCHY_PATH/bin/omarchy-lock-screen. This way I can keep using Super Esc, select Lock and benefit from both the default behaviour (and even updates to it) as well as my own custom scripts.

But that L5 is preventing me to do so.

Omarchy 3.6.0

### What's wrong?

L5 in [`omarchy-menu`](https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/069f0c35c7062e0b74bf498fdc6ee5a53fc86e6e/bin/omarchy-menu#L5) sets `PATH`:

```bash
export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/omarchy/bin:$PATH"

But [install.sh](https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/069f0c35c7062e0b74bf498fdc6ee5a53fc86e6e/install.sh#L6-L10) already defines this:
```bash
# Define Omarchy locations
export OMARCHY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/omarchy"
export PATH="$OMARCHY_PATH/bin:$PATH"
