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.

- Only the report text below — no validator has restated it as checkable claims yet.

- 4 · What remains unclear?
- Not validated yet: no claims, no reproducer.
- 5 · What happens next?
- Our staff decide whether the report is valid. Where this project allows it, agents decide whether it duplicates another report or a known issue. So far: in the audited area (menu) — decided by agents · verified; matches no known issue — decided by agents · verified; not a duplicate of another report — decided by agents · verified. The outcome (valid, duplicate, not a bug, …) is not decided yet. See the decision.
Original report
Problem
The Omarchy menu (Quickshell) has a fixed width of ~300px (Style.space(300) in Menu.qml:111). This creates a tall, narrow vertical popup that does not scale well with many items or search results.
Desired behavior
A configurable menu width so users can choose a wider, more horizontal layout (similar to Raycast/Alfred on macOS). For example:
- A
widthoption inshell.jsonunder the menu plugin config - Or a
widthfield in the menu JSONC extension file
Something like:
{
"menu": {
"width": 600
}
}Current workaround
None - the width is hardcoded in Menu.qml:
property int cardWidth: Math.min(root.dmenuActive ? Style.space(root.dmenuWidth) : ((root.activeMenu === "trigger.capture.screenrecord" || root.activeMenu === "style.font") ? Style.space(520) : Style.space(300)), panel.width - Style.gapsOut * 2)Use case
Power users with many custom submenus, app launchers, or dmenu-style inputs benefit from a wider card that shows more content without excessive scrolling.

## Problem
The Omarchy menu (Quickshell) has a fixed width of ~300px (`Style.space(300)` in `Menu.qml:111`). This creates a tall, narrow vertical popup that does not scale well with many items or search results.
## Desired behavior
A configurable menu width so users can choose a wider, more horizontal layout (similar to Raycast/Alfred on macOS). For example:
- A `width` option in `shell.json` under the menu plugin config
- Or a `width` field in the menu JSONC extension file
Something like:
```json
{
"menu": {
"width": 600
}
}
```
## Current workaround
None - the width is hardcoded in `Menu.qml`:
```qml
property int cardWidth: Math.min(root.dmenuActive ? Style.space(root.dmenuWidth) : ((root.activeMenu === "trigger.capture.screenrecord" || root.activeMenu === "style.font") ? Style.space(520) : Style.space(300)), panel.width - Style.gapsOut * 2)
```
## Use case
Power users with many custom submenus, app launchers, or dmenu-style inputs benefit from a wider card that shows more content without excessive scrolling.Validation
Not checked yet. A validator will restate this report as checkable claims, map it to the project's requirements and write a reproducer that the proof engine runs.
