Unfortunately not :/ But I do have rainbow-gradient window borders.
KDE, with breeze and a custom colour scheme. I find it less likely to lead to usability issues.
I just watched a video about a what if situation of this exact same spongebob scene last night lol
Compiz is Xorg exclusive
Yes.
Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?
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.
That's why you want to add blur. I also don't understand unblurred transparent terminals.
Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.
booooring
I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.
To read thru documentation.
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.
Thatβs the neat part. You donβt.
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.
I feel seen. And belittled. But mostly seen.
Itβs not about being original, itβs about what you enjoy eating.
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?
I'm mainly concerned about KDE, android, windows 11, and web shit.
but yeah now that you say, gtk things too
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
