Omarchy
ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA 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
System: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Intel Arc (Meteor Lake-P) + NVIDIA RTX 4050 Max-Q
Omarchy: omarchy-dev 4.0.0.r6720.g8e02fc8-1
Packages: quickshell 0.3.2-2, qt6-base 6.12.0-2, qt6-declarative 6.12.0-1
Theme: Last Horizon (colors.toml mode = "dark", bar.background = #0c0b0c)
What happened:
With "transparent": false under "bar" in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json, the top bar is pure #000000 and no widget text is visible. A grim capture of the bar area has max pixel value 0. Expected: bar background #0c0b0c with #FAFCFB text from the theme's shell.toml.
Reproduce:
1. Set bar.transparent to false in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json
2. omarchy restart shell
3. Capture the top bar: it is solid black, no text
Log (quickshell log.log, only at startup, then never re-evaluated):
WARN scene: @plugins/bar/Bar.qml[81:-1]: TypeError: Cannot read property 'active' of undefined
WARN scene: @plugins/bar/Bar.qml[74:-1]: TypeError: Cannot read property 'text' of undefined
WARN scene: @Commons/Border.qml[25:-1]: TypeError: Cannot read property 'polkit.border-alpha' of undefined
Color.bar, Color.menu, Color.tooltip and others are undefined while bindings are first evaluated. Re-applying the theme and restarting the shell do not help.
With bar.transparent=true the bar renders but the auto-picked text color is near black (peak 8/255) on the dark wallpaper, although running omarchy-bar-text-color top 26 "#FAFCFB" "#0c0b0c" by hand prints #FAFCFB.
Also seen: a quickshell built against Qt 6.11.2 with Qt 6.12.0 installed gave "must be rebuilt" warnings; quickshell 0.3.2-2 clears that warning but not this bug.
