+**Revamp the menus — spotlight, themes — toward an Omarchy-like shape.** Flagged 2026-08-22 as a plan
+the owner has and has deliberately not worked out yet: *"i have plans… i think some time soon we will
+take a more Omarchy like approach but i am too happy right now to think about that."*
+
+**Recorded so it is not lost, not so someone can start it.** The shape is his and does not exist on
+paper yet — ask him before designing anything here.
+
+What is already true and will be the raw material: Spotlight exists and opens on `alt-space`
+(`Spotlight.tsx`), the dock is full and cannot grow, and all 22 themes are generated from Omarchy's own
+palettes by `scripts/generate-themes.ts` — so the borrowing has already started on the colour side and
+this is the same borrowing extended to the menus. `shell/dock-effects-and-auto-hide` and the launcher
+item are both part of whatever this becomes rather than separate work.
+
+Note the two keyboard items in this theme are probably prerequisites rather than neighbours: an
+Omarchy-like shell is keyboard-driven first, and that needs bindings to be configurable and discoverable
+before the menus are rebuilt around them.
