The plugin only manipulates the bar's visibility based on fullscreen video detection. It does not execute external commands, access files, network, or modify system configuration. The code is straightforward and safe.

How this check works

This review combines the deterministic scan (the rule-based results above) with an independent look at the plugin's code by a language model. The model reads a trimmed sample of the repository's files, the manifest, and the README, then gives a plain-language risk level and a recommendation: install (no notable danger), review (look closer first), or avoid (clearly dangerous).

It runs on the same analyzed commit as the deterministic scan and is strictly advisory — it is not a security guarantee and never blocks a plugin by itself. A human moderator still reviews plugins before they are listed.

Hide Bar on Video Fullscreen

An Omarchy shell service that hides the status bar only on the monitor that is playing a fullscreen video.

Fullscreen video with the Omarchy bar hidden

[!IMPORTANT] This plugin is for Omarchy 4 (Quattro), where the desktop shell and bar use Quickshell. It is not intended for older Omarchy releases that use Waybar.

Behavior

  • Hides the bar on a monitor whose active fullscreen window is a video.
  • Leaves the bar visible on every other monitor.
  • Super+F on a terminal, Discord, or a normal webpage keeps the bar.
  • Detects YouTube and other video sites in browsers, plus players such as mpv and VLC.
  • Restores that monitor's bar when you leave fullscreen.

The plugin does not change Hyprland config or shell.json layout. It only parks the live bar surface on the affected screen and releases its exclusive zone.

Requirements

  • Omarchy with the Quickshell bar
  • Hyprland

Install

Security

This plugin runs unsandboxed inside omarchy-shell when enabled. Review its source before installing it.

It does not:

  • Run external commands
  • Read or write files
  • Access the network
  • Install keybindings
  • Change shell.json or Hyprland config

It talks only to the already-running Omarchy bar and to Hyprland IPC, so it can see window titles, classes, and fullscreen state, then hide the bar on the matching monitor.
