First run shows Setup Git unless name and email are already set
On the first run, a change merged into quattro asks for a git name and email unless both are already set. It also asks for a GitHub sign-in unless one is already working or gh is not installed. Installs carry no git identity.
Read the story →Launch shortcut looks for an installed browser when the configured one is gone
When the configured browser is gone, a change merged into quattro keeps Super + Shift + Return from passing an empty command. A named browser counts only if it is installed, then the lookup falls back to the first installed x-scheme-handler/https handler.
Mise-only failure completes a system update with a warning
A system update merged into quattro records a failed mise tool download, continues the remaining steps, and prints omarchy update mise retry guidance before the reboot prompt. A failed package upgrade or boot verification still stops the update.
Titlebar plugin stays loaded for the session after a workspace floats, as long as the package is still installed
Once a workspace floats, a change merged into quattro keeps the titlebar plugin loaded for the rest of the session, as long as the package is still installed.
Native boot, Arch, Hyprland, and the Omarchy shell work on a phone
Sebastian Stange said he is bringing real Omarchy to a phone: native boot, Arch, Hyprland, and the actual Omarchy shell already work. Adapting the Omarchy kernel and polishing the mobile boot experience come next, and a later post says he put Omarchy on a phone.

Low battery warning expires after 30 seconds, or the short restore grace after a restart

Notifications never take keyboard focus except on Super + Ctrl + comma

omarchy-notification-send takes up to three action buttons
omarchy-notification-send, merged into quattro, takes an action label and a program, up to three buttons, and exec and action cannot be combined.
Setup form takes its words from the language catalogs
The setup form shared by the ISO installer and first-boot owner setup, merged into quattro, reads its strings from Omarchy's language catalogs. It spoke only English. First-boot owner setup stays English, and a timezone fallback is preselected only when the network's guess fails.
Saved recording toast shows the first frame, Open, and Omacut
The toast for a saved screen recording, merged into quattro, shows the first frame as its thumbnail, with Open and Omacut. Open starts mpv. The body says how long the recording runs and how big it is.
Taildrop files stack in one notification deck
Taildrop file notifications merged into quattro stack in one deck under the app name Taildrop. As a named app, those toasts are held in history when Do Not Disturb is on, instead of being shown.
Network panel stays open after DHCP, Cloudflare, or Google
Picking DHCP, Cloudflare or Google in the DNS row, in a change merged into quattro, leaves the network panel open. The pill moves to the chosen provider straight away and falls back to the previous one if omarchy-dns fails. Custom still closes the panel.
