I'm curious, what do you do about VLC if you use a tiling WM ?

• Do you ignore the pain and still use a theme ?
• Do you not use a theme and live with it messing up your nice color scheme ?
• Do you just not use VLC ?

I just combined win10xos and win10os and I also use windows 7 show desktop and a windows 10 cursor pack and segoe ui font i even made my firefox look like edge (except for the icon) and i think i should change the icon of the desktop firefox link

if you want the full neofetch for some reason, ask me!

Removing everything from the Waybar I don't really use that much, rewrote the clock module (turns out you can do that), and just decided to embrace the "Tiling Window Compositor" vibe by relying more on keyboard shortcuts.

• OS: OpenBSD 7.5-current amd64
• Host: Lenovo ThinkPad T400
• WM: cwm
• GTK Theme: Mint-L-Dark-Purple
• Icon Theme: GNOME-Noble
• Font: spleen

• Shell: ksh
• Browser: Tor Browser
• Editor: nvim
• Terminal: Sakura

Notes:

• I plan to make my own GTK and Qt themes for this machine, but Mint-L is a pretty good fit for now.
• OpenBSD-current is fairly unstable. I'll be switching back to -stable or -release when 7.6 is released in October.
• I picked the Polybar colour scheme from Amethyst (the character from Steven Universe). This is what I will use for the custom GTK and Qt themes.

Dotfiles:

hyprland.conf

binds.conf

windowrules.conf

Waybar = config (rename to "config")/ style.css

I can only hope it's not too bright or too colorful for anyone!

Wallpaper by Adrien Olichon and if you like this style, there is more good stuff.

I was unable to find Gruvbox light theme, so I decided to create one myself. The thing is still WIP and will be for a while but works for me atm. Key components are color scheme and desktoptheme. Over that I use simp1e gruvbox dark cursor, Tela light icons and Sonokai espresso Konsole theme (but I'm considering switch to gruvbox as well). You can explore it on my GitLab

Nice and clean desktop. None of that over the top ricing that takes forever to replicate

hey everyone - made a start page extension/site thats focused on latest media and content. its available as an extension on https://marketing.startyparty.dev - it always fetches the latest news, lemmy, mastodon (journalists), music, videos, podcasts, twitch, steam launcher/news, browser game (play games in the browser), links, search, etc. has a bunch of keybound shortcuts for keyboard warriors too. hope some of y'all find it useful / enjoy ^^

My dotfiles are a bit of a mess 😵‍💫 but I'll upload them at some point if requested.

Using a less aggressive approach to rounding the corners on the desktop elements this time. Overall theme is Material-Black-Cherry but I color sampled the tree she's reclining on for the desktop elements. Gruvbox-Material-Black for the icon set.

Gentoo with a custom kernel made using the fantastic guidance from the wiki.

I replaced the tux boot logo with an IBM one, I used this guide to do that: https://linuxlink.timesys.com/docs/wiki/engineering/HOWTO_Use_a_custom_boot_logo (is not that hard)

Things that don't work yet:

• Webcam microphone

Conclusion about Gentoo: Waiting for packages to compile is annoying. But the flexibility and the Gentoo wiki makes up for it. Also Gentoo now has binary packages so I don't have to wait for packages that I don't care about to compile.

Wanted to see if I could make it look a little more "modern".

• DE: Cosmic Epoch
• Widgets: Aylur's GTK Shell (ags)
• OS: NixOS 24.05
• Wallpaper: Cyberware Mods Menu edited to remove the in game UI.
• Dotfiles: GitHub

i'll keep it simple this time: (it is 1:22 AM and i want to sleep)

• stuff
  • distro \\ ultramarine
  • color scheme \\ miasma (i'm reusing colorschemes, i know!)
  • window manager \\ riverwm
• my river conf is here, if you want to see it or something

• OS: NixOS
• WM: Hyprland
• Bar. Waybar
• Terminal: Kitty
• Browser: Firefox with Sideberry, Adaptive Tab Bar Colour, and some basic userChrome.css to hide the native tab bar and the sidebar title
• Colour Scheme: Catppuccin Mocha
• Wallpaper: VDawg's submission to the Hyprland wallpaper contest
• Dotfiles: Unavailable. I haven't migrated some configs to nix yet (most notably hyprland) and I don't manage them with git either. ~~also they're a mess.~~

Feel free to ask me how I did things, information is difficult to find sometimes, so I'm happy to help
