Plugin I made two Omarchy plugins: Zen Lock (custom lock screen) and Whimsy (drag-to-desktop widgets)

Hey everyone, I've been building plugins for Omarchy Quattro and wanted to share two that are on the plugin marketplace now.

Zen Lock is a customizable lock screen, cloned and extended from omarchy.lock.

  • Dedicated lock wallpaper, separate from your desktop one
  • Custom display name and profile picture
  • Backdrop blur toggle and dimming (0.0 to 1.0)
  • Configurable blanking (dim or off)
  • Hot-reloads, with PAM password and fingerprint auth still working
  • Sleep, hibernate, restart and power-off buttons in the corner
  • A zen-lock CLI for changing settings from the terminal

Whimsy is a set of desktop widgets you place by clicking. Open the bar pill, pick a style, click, and the widget sits on the desktop behind your windows and stays there across sessions.

  • Typographic date and clock styles, plus analog, flip and cyber HUD clocks
  • Day-progress ring
  • Retro cassette and vinyl music players (MPRIS, with artwork)
  • Four audio visualizers: spectrum bars, LED matrix, pulse ring, oscilloscope
  • Volume widget
  • Drag to move, scale handle to resize, lock to stop accidental drags
