Question 1

How do I install Omarchist on Ubuntu or other non-Arch systems?

Accepted Answer

Omarchist is packaged for Arch-based systems via AUR (using yay). For other distributions, you might need to build from source, but compatibility is not guaranteed as it's tailored for Omarchy Linux.

Question 2

Is Omarchist better than manually editing config files for Omarchy?

Accepted Answer

Omarchist simplifies customization with a GUI and real-time previews, ideal for beginners or visual learners. Manual editing offers more control and is faster for experts who know the config syntax.

Question 3

Can I export themes from Omarchist to use on other Linux desktops?

Accepted Answer

Currently, themes are optimized for Omarchy components like Waybar and Hyprland. There's no built-in export feature for other systems, so adaptation would require manual effort.

Question 4

How to create a custom color scheme in Omarchist?

Accepted Answer

Use the Theme Designer tab with color pickers to select and preview colors. Changes are applied in real-time, and you can save themes for later use, as described in the features section.

Question 5

Does Omarchist fully support Hyprland configuration yet?

Accepted Answer

According to the roadmap, config management for Hyprland is a work in progress, so support may be partial or experimental until completed.

Question 6

Omarchist vs Oomox for Linux theming?

Accepted Answer

Omarchist is specialized for Omarchy with tight integration, while Oomox is more general-purpose for GTK themes. If you're on Omarchy, Omarchist offers better native support.
