Regolith Desktop has some similiar ideas and is based on Sway.
Its native to Ubuntu— support on Arch could be improved.
thanks, maybe I can use that. Thought about using Polonium for now, but I'm sure I can integrate multiple options. After all, it'll be just a bunch of dotfiles and (meta-)packages.
One place to start might be add more content and screenshots to the Polonium home page: https://polonium.vaughanm.xyz/
Currently, that project homepage provides little incentive to want to go install it.
Omarchy may have started out as dotfiles and scripts, but now it's a formal collection of Arch packages. I'm not sure if all their packages have been upstreamed to Arch, but I expect not:
https://github.com/omacom/omarchy-pkgs/tree/master/pkgbuilds
Regolith may also seem like it would also be a "collection of dotfiles" to customize Sway and other things, but it also has a number of packages that they've developed or patched as well.
For example, I think both Omarchy and Regolith developed their own launchers. Regolith created Ilia, and I think Omarchy created something to replace Walker.
One thing both projects have been in common is they prioritized consistent theming across a range of applications. In both cases, it required some customizations to various projects to get them to read centralized theme settings or otherwise respond to theming changes.
