Common tweaks

This is a collection of common tailorings to the Omarchy setup. Know that it might occasionally be necessary for system updates to restore certain configs to their original condition. If this happens, your changes won’t be lost, but put in a .bak file in the same directory.

If you screw something up, you can restore individual configs to their original setup via Update > Config in the Omarchy menu. If you really screw everything up, you can reset all configs via omarchy-reinstall.

Reveal all tray icons all the time#

By default, tray icons, like Dropbox, 1password, or Steam, are hidden behind the tray expander arrow, which reveals them when you hover it. If you’d like to have them exposed all the time, right-click the expander arrow to open the tray icon manager, then pin the icons you want to keep visible (you can also hide the ones you never want to see).

Rounded window corners#

Omarchy’s default design is one of square corners, but if you like to soften that up a bit, you can change ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.lua so rounding is no longer commented out:

hl.config({
  decoration = {
    -- Use round window corners.
    rounding = 8,
  },
})

Remove window gaps#

On laptop displays, some people prefer not to waste any pixels on window gaps (or even a top bar, which you can toggle off with Super + Shift + Space). You can toggle all gaps and borders off with Super + Shift + Backspace, or remove them permanently by removing the comments in this section of ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.lua:

hl.config({
  general = {
    -- No gaps between windows or borders.
    gaps_in = 0,
    gaps_out = 0,
    border_size = 0,
  },
})
