Accent Workspaces for Omarchy

A bar widget for Omarchy that shows six Hyprland workspaces: 1–3 use the current theme accent, 4–6 stay white. Super+1…6 still switch and move windows like stock Omarchy. No patch to /usr/share/omarchy.

⚡ Built for the Omarchy Quattro bar: drop-in replacement for the stock workspace pills, installed with omarchy plugin add.

🚀 Overview

Omarchy already has workspace indicators. This plugin only changes how they look: two groups, theme-aware color, six desks on the bar.

	Stock Omarchy ❌	Accent Workspaces ✅
Shown on the bar	1–5	1–6
1–3	Bar text color	Theme accent (follows omarchy theme set)
4–6	Hidden until used	White
Keybinds	Super+1…0	Unchanged
Omarchy	Built-in widget	User plugin (~/.config/omarchy/plugins)

Note: This is an Omarchy shell plugin. Install with omarchy plugin add — the installer never runs plugin code, and nothing is written under /usr/share/omarchy.

✨ Key Features

🎨 Theme accent, not a hardcoded orange

• Workspaces 1–3 bind to Color.accent from the active Omarchy theme.
• Change theme, the first group follows. No hex to keep in sync.

⬜ A second group in white

• 4–6 use #ffffff by default (or foreground / muted / a hex via settings).
• Empty desks stay dimmed, same as stock.

⌨️ Stock keybinds

• Super + 1…6 — focus
• Super + Shift + 1…6 — move window
• Super + Shift + Alt + 1…6 — move window silently

🛠 Installation

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/austrasien/omarchy-workspaces.git --enable

That clones the plugin into ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/austrasien.workspaces/ and places it on the bar. Review the code before you enable it: plugins run unsandboxed inside omarchy-shell.

If a clone of omarchy.workspaces is already on the bar, remove it first:

omarchy plugin remove austraz.workspaces

⚙️ Configuration

omarchy bar set austrasien.workspaces count 6
omarchy bar set austrasien.workspaces accentCount 3
omarchy bar set austrasien.workspaces restColor '#ffffff'
omarchy bar move austrasien.workspaces --section left

restColor accepts a hex value or a palette role: accent, foreground, muted.

Settings can also sit inline in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json:

{
  "id": "austrasien.workspaces",
  "count": 6,
  "accentCount": 3,
  "restColor": "#ffffff"
}

🗑 Remove

omarchy plugin remove austrasien.workspaces

Then put the stock widget back if you want it:

omarchy plugin enable omarchy.workspaces --section left
