Improve logo icon legibility in Waybar
The current Omarchy logo glyph renders well at larger sizes but becomes a bit blurry and harder to recognize at smaller scales, which is noticeable in Waybar.
This PR updates the glyph for small-scale rendering. It looks sharper while remaining recognizable.

This improves legibility in Omarchy’s Waybar and fastfetch without affecting the larger logo.
[!NOTE] I wasn’t able to test this directly in Omarchy. The update was verified in font preview and the glyph keeps the same codepoint (
\ue900), but it would be very helpful if someone could confirm the result and, if possible, attach a screenshot.

The 'before' is how the Omarchy icon should be. The 'After' changes the design proportions and turns it into something else.
it does seem more legible. every time i look in the upper left unfortunately it looks like a broken icon or something. in fastfetch tho i think it looks great.
Just looks blurry, not a good design if it does not scale

I see your point. I've tried another version that's closer to the original but a little more readable at small sizes.
Would you be open to small adjustments, or do you feel strongly about keeping it as is?
Finally tested it on a real machine with Omarchy.
Here's the current version:
And here's the new version (updated after @tahayvr's feedback):
I've also pushed the updated TTF file.
nice. i still prefer the "bolder" variant, but this is a step in the right direction.
First installed Omarchy couple of days ago and I thought the logo glyph was broken initially and that the glyph was actually a placeholder to indicate broken/missing. It looks ok now but probably due to me changing the monitor scale. Could be an issue for those of us running older monitors.
Appreciate the effort, but I prefer the original in this case. The waybar is open for changing for anyone who needs something else, but we'll treat 2x resolution as the primary optimization target.
