Change themes, wallpapers, fonts, window shape, animations, the bar and per-app rules of an Omarchy desktop from one app, applied live with undo.
Window rules, monitor arrangement and launcher entries are deliberately not part of a look. Applying keeps a Just before look first.
Written to a Lacquer-owned fontconfig file, not previewed; apps read it when they start.
A starting point only: Animations and Curves still edit every value, and the section says when they no longer match.
README states testing on one screen only; only a confirmed change is written, to hypr/monitors.lua.
Works on a copy of the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications; undo deletes the copy.
Needs the optional Lacquer Shell companion plugin, which Lacquer offers to install.
Unknown theme or section names are refused; `setWallpaper` checks only the file's location.
Ctrl+Z covers looknfeel.lua and shell.toml but not shell.json (bar layout and plugin settings).
Off until you turn it on; stays dormant while OmaShuffle is installed.
Needs aether; Generate & apply switches the desktop to a theme called aether and may write theme files into Zed, VS Code and Neovim.
Changing the terminal font restarts the shell; Lacquer reopens where it was.
Only pinned choices are re-applied; unpinned ones keep following the theme.
Turning the schedule off restores Omarchy's shipped hyprsunset.conf; a hand-written schedule is kept unless you choose to replace it.
Needs Omarchy's Lua Hyprland config; values are written to a fenced block in looknfeel.lua.
Only edits curves that already exist; a curve added at runtime lingers until Hyprland restarts.
Pinning a colour stops theme changes moving it; the row is marked.
Lock designs and lock-explorer boot screens still need lock-explorer; the boot logo needs imagemagick and asks for your password in a floating terminal.
Needs OmaMenu with Menu Look IPC; the section is hidden otherwise.
Fonts, shell.toml/shell.json values and terminal lines are listed but left in place.
1.0.0 adds Saved looks (written to ~/lacquer-looks.json), a first-run tour, a text-drawing page, a pointer page, motion feels, border and shape presets, display settings, per-app rules, app launcher editing and a screen frame. 1.0.1 shows setting descriptions permanently, stops the wheel changing values and makes the window resizable.
Also: Guided tour, pointer page, readability check, descriptions always visible, resizable window.
Update with `omarchy plugin update io.github.deunnis.lacquer`; needs Omarchy 4. Screen frame needs the Lacquer Shell companion plugin.
