Say what you wanna say about tiling wms, but there are good tiling wms like niri, paperwm, hyprland(I love it).
Sway not mentioned?
nowadays the question is not how you turn on rounded corners, but how you turn them off
I suppose you’re mainly concerned about LibAdwaita-Apps?
Luckily most gui toolkits have a way of disabling CSD. For gtk/libadwaita I recommend something like Gradience to generate a theme with corners of your liking.
Same applies to gaps
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.
plus it’s literally unused screen space
Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?
That’s why you want to add blur. I also don’t understand unblurred transparent terminals.
To read thru documentation.
I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.
What’s the difference between opaque and transparent+blur?
The difference between a wall and frosted glass.
Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.
booooring
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.
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.
That’s the neat part. You don’t.
Compiz is Xorg exclusive
Yes.
I feel seen. And belittled. But mostly seen.
It’s not about being original, it’s about what you enjoy eating.
Hotdog theme
volume bar is a hotdog popping out the top a bun?
Better
Ja, hallo, kann ich Ihnen helfen?
What have we fucking done. All this global warming bullshit just to get rid of this!?
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
Actually doesn’t do the thing for me. I know the optical illusion you’re going for but this color scheme doesn’t trigger it in my brain for some reason. I kind of hate that lmao
This was peak peakness. The rest of history is a footnote.
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 <insert random condition here> will completely break my theming because <insert weird OS quirk here>, 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✨
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.
Do the windows wobble?
KDE, with breeze and a custom colour scheme. I find it less likely to lead to usability issues.
