What changed in v1.5.5

Clip designs (Storm, Eyes, River) hold the first frame while locked and play on unlock; + New clip turns any video into one. The LUKS boot passphrase screen can now match the lock screen, shipped as a systemd-stub initrd addon. The explorer was redesigned with a sidebar. Groups v1.5.0 to v1.5.5.

Also: Pond, Constellation and Sparks react to typing; Motion loops a video; a broken design falls back to Classic and then a plain password field.

v1.5.5. Video features need qt6-multimedia, which stock Omarchy does not ship. The boot screen is experimental.

New things you can do

Clip speed 0.5x to 2x; the last frame can become your wallpaper.

AddedUse a video clip as the lock screen and let it play through as you unlock.
