launch it with waybar -c $newconfig -s $newcss -b $bar
give it layer: top and position: bottom or layer: overlay
and add a corresponding layer in hyprland config

yeh i overloaded the script and deleted those lines. i had to setup .profile earlier and ensure OMARCHY_PATH is set there, as well as PATH, then i had to update /.config/uwsm

when omarchy runs migrations, it should just apply them to the waybar config in $OMARCHY_PATH, but idk it depends on what a user's willing to do once they veer off the happy path.
