Chromarchy: five Chrome-meets-Omarchy lock screens (with an animated offline dino)

My laptop is a Chromebook running Omarchy instead of ChromeOS, so I've been calling it Chromarchy. I made a lock screen to match: five designs that mix Chrome and Google jokes with Arch, Linux and DHH nods. It picks a random one each time you lock.

• Chrome-plated Omakase: the O in Omarchy becomes a pixel Chrome logo.
• I'm Feeling Arch-y: Google's homepage, but the search box is your password box.
• ERR_NOT_CHROMEOS: the offline dino, jumping Arch-logo cacti while you type.
• Le Mans Livery: 80s chrome lettering and a Be able to switch to current theme for neovim #37 roundel. "24 hours of Le Mans · 0 bytes of telemetry."
• chrome://omarchy: the whole screen is a Chrome New Tab page.

All of them use the real Omarchy logo lettering, re-spelled as CHROMARCHY.

It's a shell plugin built from a copy of the stock omarchy.lock, so password and fingerprint handling are Omarchy's own code. Only the look changed.

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/yfarkash/chromarchy-login-screen --enable
omarchy plugin disable omarchy.lock
omarchy restart shell
