Adds --disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1 to Chromium and Brave flag configs to prevent crashes when moving windows between monitors or workspaces on Hyprland. This is a workaround for a Chromium/Wayland color management conflict. Upstream Chromium fix exists but won't reach stable for ~a month. This provides a temporary bridge until the fix lands in stable releases.

Need a migration to add this line to existing configs (use grep to check it's not already there, then sed to add it, see other migrations for the pattern). |

@dhh Added migration script to update existing user configs. The script:
Ready for review! |
Adds migration script to append --disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1 to existing users' chromium-flags.conf and brave-flags.conf files. The script: - Checks if config files exist before attempting to modify them - Uses grep to verify the flag isn't already present - Only adds the flag and explanatory comment if needed - Handles both Chromium and Brave configurations This ensures existing Omarchy users get the Hyprland crash workaround without needing to manually update their configs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Fix Chromium Crash When Moving Windows Between Monitors
Problem
Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, etc.) crash instantly when dragging windows between monitors or moving them to different workspaces using Hyprland keybinds (super+shift+number). This started after recent Chromium updates enabled Wayland color management, which conflicts with Hyprland's implementation.
Note: A fix has landed upstream in Chromium but won't reach stable releases for approximately a month. This PR provides a temporary workaround in the meantime.
Solution
Add
--disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1to default flag configs:config/chromium-flags.confconfig/brave-flags.confThese are deployed to
~/.config/during Omarchy setup and apply automatically to all Chromium-based browsers.Impact
Users can edit
~/.config/chromium-flags.confto customize or remove the flag once the upstream fix lands in their Chromium version.Testing
