Install hyprland-preview-share-picker on Omarchy
This is a drop-in replacement for Hyprland's default screen-share picker. Instead of a bare text list, it shows live thumbnail previews of every open window and every connected monitor in a tabbed GTK4 window, so you can visually confirm what you're about to share over video calls or screen recordings. It plugs into the standard XDG desktop portal for Hyprland and its look can be themed with a custom stylesheet.
