Pill Bar

Segmented pill bar — transparent window, pills only behind widget clusters. Includes always-expanded static tray (no chevron) for the segmented layout. Center anchored on calendar.

Omarchy Quattro segmented pill bar — the window is transparent and pills are drawn only behind actual widget clusters. Includes an always-expanded static tray (no chevron) designed for the segmented layout. Anchored on the calendar widget by default; all widgets live in the center section in order.

Installation

# Add the plugin (clones to ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/pill-bar/)
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/ishan-parihar/pill-bar.git

# Enable the bar (replaces the default omarchy bar)
omarchy plugin enable pill-bar

# The static tray widget is part of the same plugin
# Add it to the bar if not already present (center section):
# omarchy bar put pill-bar --section center

Restart the shell if needed:

omarchy restart shell

git clone https://github.com/ishan-parihar/pill-bar.git ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/pill-bar

Layout

shell.json example (center-anchored):

{
  "bar": {
    "id": "pill-bar",
    "centerAnchor": "tmn73.calendar",
    "layout": {
      "left": [{ "id": "omarchy.menu" }, { "id": "decent-workspaces" }],
      "center": [{ "id": "tmn73.calendar" }, { "id": "omarchy.weather" }, { "id": "pill-bar" }],
      "right": []
    }
  }
}

Sizing tokens in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.toml control the 1.5× bar scaling used in the screenshots:

[bar]
scale-with-font = false
size-horizontal = 34
icon-slot = 40
icon-canvas = 24
icon-font = 20
status-slot = 31

Features

• Segmented pills: Bar.qml window is transparent; pills are drawn per-cluster (left/center/right), with beforeList/afterList/centerAnchor handling.
• Static tray: StaticTray.qml — always expanded, expandIcon hidden, drawerBlockWidth = drawerExtent, no chevron/mirror hack, containmentMask bounds to drawer only.
• Tray placement: by default the tray is pinned to the section's inner edge (end of center) regardless of layout order, so the drawer opens next to the bar center. To render the tray exactly where placed, opt out per entry: { "id": "pill-bar", "pinTray": false }.
• Cloned from omarchy.bar + omarchy.tray and merged into a single suite (kinds: ["bar","bar-widget"]) so one plugin add ships both.

Requirements

• Omarchy Quattro + Quickshell (omarchy-shell)
• No extra runtime dependencies.
