Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on 2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history. Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

# Omarchy background picker doesn't see custom wallpapers
|
|
|
|
**Symptom:** images placed in the theme dir don't appear in the background picker.
|
|
|
|
**Diagnosis:** the picker scans `~/.local/state/omarchy/current/theme/backgrounds` (a snapshot taken at `theme-set` time) plus `~/.config/omarchy/backgrounds/<theme-slug>/` — NOT `~/.config/omarchy/themes/<slug>/backgrounds`, which is where custom theme images usually live.
|
|
|
|
**Fix (standing, installed 2026-09-17):** systemd user path + timer `omarchy-bg-sync` — `~/.local/bin/omarchy-bg-sync` rsyncs the current custom theme's source backgrounds into the snapshot dir on change and every 5 min (no `--delete`).
