The plugin is a straightforward bar widget that adjusts Hyprland border appearance via hyprctl and writes a small settings file. All values are selected from fixed, validated lists, commands are passed as argument arrays (no shell injection), and there is no network access, obfuscation, or persistence beyond the intended settings. No dangerous behavior was found.

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.

Install

Border Studio

An Omarchy plugin for window border palettes, rounded corners, adjustable border widths, bright gradient (“shining”) borders, and automatic palette cycling.

Install from GitHub

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/zaki2993/borders.git --enable

The installer asks where to place the widget in the bar. With a non-interactive install, use --yes and enable it afterward:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/zaki2993/borders.git --yes
omarchy plugin enable zakarch.borders right

Only install plugins you trust: Omarchy plugins run as code inside the long-running omarchy-shell process.

Border Studio supports automatic palette cycling every 1, 2, or 3 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes. Choose Off to stop cycling. Border widths from 0 to 6 px, window and screen spacing from 0 to 32 px, and rounding can be selected independently.

First start

omarchy plugin enable zakarch.borders right

Then click the 󰕂 icon in the bar. Changes are applied directly through Hyprland's Lua runtime API, so no edits to ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua are required. Settings are stored in ~/.local/state/omarchy/zakarch.borders/settings.json and reapplied whenever the plugin starts.

Requirements

  • Omarchy's Quickshell shell and plugin support
  • Hyprland with hyprctl (the plugin uses hl.config when available and falls back to legacy hyprctl keyword commands)
  • hyprctl and mkdir available on PATH (both are standard Omarchy tools)

The plugin has no package, Python, Node.js, or external service dependencies.

On first start, the defaults are a 3-second palette cycle, 8 px rounding, 2 px borders, and 2 px window/screen spacing. Settings are saved per user and take precedence over these defaults on later starts.

Remove

omarchy plugin disable zakarch.borders
rm -rf ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/zakarch.borders ~/.local/state/omarchy/zakarch.borders
hyprctl reload

After removal, restore the original values in ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.lua if you want to undo the plugin’s last applied colors or rounding.
