`BarWidget.qml` swaps the stock `\ue900` glyph from the `omarchy` icon font for
`branding/blob_icon.svg`. Qt renders SVG through `qt6-svg`, but an `Image`
cannot be recolored, so the icon is used as an alpha mask over a rectangle
filled with the bar foreground. That keeps it following the theme and the bar's
own color animation the way a glyph did, and it means the black fill in the
source file never matters.
`branding/blob_icon.svg`. An SVG is text, so the fill is rewritten to the bar
foreground in QML and the result handed to `Image` as a base64 `data:` URL -
the same trick the `theme-set` hook uses with `sed` for the fastfetch logo, so
both consumers of the icon work the same way. The color is read off
`button.foreground` rather than the theme, which keeps the icon on the bar's own
foreground animation, and rebuilding the URL is what reloads the image, so there
is no image cache to bust. The glyph stays as the `text` fallback and is shown
whenever the SVG cannot be read or decoded, so the button is never blank.
`mergeMenuSources` in `MenuModel.js` reads the default menu first and the user
extension second, so a row that only exists in `extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc`
