    It’s not about being original, it’s about what you enjoy eating.

    What have we fucking done. All this global warming bullshit just to get rid of this!?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

    Yeah. If the whole heating the planet to exterminate all humans gets revealed to be an alien attack on us, I'll be angry.

    But if the aliens simply share a screenshot of Hotdog desktop theme, in explanation of their actions... I'll probably just nod.

    Why is this like... Kind of ok looking? Is it just the old school look causing nostalgia? Surely right? I can't actually be thinking that's an okay color scheme

    Great contrast at least.... Not super harsh like the standard light themes

    put this image on a big monitor and stare at it for 30 seconds, then look anywhere else

    Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?

    [–] [email protected] 57 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    That's why you want to add blur. I also don't understand unblurred transparent terminals.

    [–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.

    I just boot straight into the terminal. No desktop, just the void staring at me full of possibilities.

    I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.

    Very simple actually: don't use 100% transparency.

    Just use something like 80-90% opaque (10-20% transparent) and use the background color as black so it just dims whatever us behind it.

    You can have both function and form.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

    Additionally use Kawase-Blur with a lot of blurring, and this is a non-issue.

    In school I had a physics teacher who thought it was a good idea one day to use whiteboard markers on the glass windows instead of the whiteboard. I didn't learn anything that lesson.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

    That’s the neat part. You don’t.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

    Simple: only the out of focus apps have opacity set to 85-90%, the focused app is always 100%. Easy.

    nowadays the question is not how you turn on rounded corners, but how you turn them off

    I was surprised to learn that

    • a) macOS only recently added Left/Right-tiling natively (without extensions, just like GNOME does)
    • b) they leave gaps when you tile them so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

    so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

    I wish more tiling developers understood this. Gaps between windows looks broken. I don't mind it being an option, but to me it's such a weird choice for the default.

    [–] festnt 5 points 1 week ago

    plus it's literally unused screen space

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    I suppose you're mainly concerned about LibAdwaita-Apps?

    I will spend an entire weekend ricing my desktop in just the right way.

    Then I'll notice that one of my main apps doesn't adhere to the theming i've designed, or that will completely break my theming because , or If I change my wallpaper it will make my entire theme look like shit, or that my cool theme makes font unreadable on one app because it renders shit weird, or that I completely overlooked this one aspect of my workflow that my cool design fucks with.

    Then I'll just say fuck it and go back to using standard Gnome.

    There's an extension that lets me close and open windows with the Matrix Code Rain so I can pretend I'm cool n shit.

    Awesome. Looking into that just got added to my weekend plans. Thanks!

    The extension is called Burn-My-Windows and I always look forward to it when booting into GNOME because it feels so ✨fancy✨

    Unfortunately not :/ But I do have rainbow-gradient window borders.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

    I feel seen. And belittled. But mostly seen.

    [–] jwiggler 11 points 1 week ago

    Every few years I get the customization bug and trick out my desktop. Then things start breaking down slowly. Then I get frustrated and reinstall vanilla gnome, swear off customization forever, and feel better.

    For gaming its Plasma.

    Knowing the default DE's idiosyncrasies also helps with work -- I'm never surprised when I reinstall/install a new machine. Same goes for aliases. No for me, knowing the commands themselves, however cumbersome or verbose, helps me better deal with freshly installed machines.

    Say what you wanna say about tiling wms, but there are good tiling wms like niri, paperwm, hyprland(I love it).

    i3wm has been my daily driver for the past 4 years. I just flow on it

    KDE, with breeze and a custom colour scheme. I find it less likely to lead to usability issues.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

    I personally do like all the eye candy, especially animations and round borders, but sometimes i do enjoy using compositors without any of that just as a change of pace. I also really like river for example.
