The Omarchy bar just got its biggest rework in a while, and it didn’t make 4.0.5, so this is next-release material. The “Rework bar dragging, sections and widget orientation” PR landed in the quattro branch on October 15. It touches 38 files and is coming in the next version.
The big one: the old centerAnchor setting is gone. The bar layout now has five sections, left, centerBegin, center, centerEnd and right. The default puts the clock alone in center, so it stays dead center as the weather and update badges come and go.
- While you drag a widget, the others slide apart to show where it’ll land.
- Widgets keep running when moved instead of being recreated.
- Expanding widgets like the tray grow in the right direction now, so stuff doesn’t jump under your mouse.
- Two migrations keep existing setups looking the same.
- New commands, like
omarchy bar move omarchy.weather --section centerBegin --index 0.
I fiddle with my bar way too much, so smoother dragging is welcome.
Happy Hacking!
