Tilelane

A bottom taskbar and Start menu for Omarchy.

• Each monitor shows windows from all its workspaces, in opening order.
• Minimize and restore keep windows in their tiled or floating mode.
• Short titles use narrower buttons. Longer buttons shrink before scrolling is needed.
• Omarchy themes, configured widgets, and keyboard shortcuts carry over.

Requirements

Tested on Omarchy 4.0.5 with Hyprland 0.56.2 and Qt 6.12. Tilelane runs inside Omarchy's shell. Places uses Files to open folders. See the runtime dependencies.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/lexeko/tilelane.git
omarchy bar use io.github.lexeko.tilelane

For an installation without Git, see manual installation.

Use

• Start pins and taskbar pins are independent. Right-click a taskbar pin to reorder it.
• Hold Ctrl while clicking an app launcher or a place to open a floating window.
• Window context menus show the configured Omarchy shortcuts for their actions.

Places follows your bookmarks in Files. Names, order, and bookmark changes update automatically.

Configure

Manage status widgets through Omarchy. Start, the workspace switcher, and the task area have fixed positions. The clock stays at the right when enabled. See widget configuration for layout and settings commands.

Pins and preferences are saved in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json. See settings and reduced motion.

Update

For the GitHub installation above:

omarchy plugin update io.github.lexeko.tilelane
omarchy restart shell

Updates follow the repository's default branch. For a manual installation, replace the plugin files with a new complete copy.

Disable or remove

Return to Omarchy's built-in bar:

omarchy bar reset

Then, to remove Tilelane:

omarchy plugin remove io.github.lexeko.tilelane

Pins and preferences remain available for a later install. See recovery and cleanup for settings or minimized windows.
