There's a new kew version out, v3.4, which adds a landscape mode. kew is an open source music player which runs in the terminal. I founded it, ask me anything you want.

To play music in kew you could for instance run: kew nirvana (will play all nirvana songs) kew neverm (will play nevermind album)

Just typing kew shows you your music library.

Decided to mess around with CachyOS on my laptop since I've seen a ton of people trying it out. There's some things I'd like to fix but I'm still learning :)

Has anyone been able to set a custom theme for KeePassXC other than the default (Adwaita) light and dark themes? I am using NixOS and have not seen any way to do so.

This is the most minimal functional aesthetically pleasing waybar config i could come up with. It mostly stays hidden until i need to call it using a custom keybind.

Any suggestions to make it better appreciated!

Sway with waybar, alacritty, conky and rofi on Bunsenlabs Boron (Debian 12).

The calendar looks the same way as the menu - with 40% transparency. I've been thinking of transforming the menu and the calendar to a solid green background color (instead of transparency) but never had the time to do it. The original theme was Mint-Y-[something] about 8 years ago but nowadays it's... something else.

• maybe this is a little distracting XD, sorry for posting almost the same setup back to back this is the last one I promise, I'll post something more original next time.

I was planning on having a gruvbox-ish red color as the window border, however at the moment I had to settle for this color because the GTK theme I'm using has a weird focus ring of its own and I'm yet to figure out how to get rid of it.

So I've been in the WM space for a little while. Started messing around with i3 some years ago, and stuck with the basic config. Same thing for Sway, before I attempted to make my own rice, and then stole the legendary Hyprdots. I remember messing with the dots and trying to change things, and getting frustrated because it obviously was above my knowledge level. I went back to KDE for a little bit, before Brodie made a video and I was curious enough to take the leap. In short, it's crazy. It may seem odd at first, but the workflow is really hard to come back from. The freedom of space you are afforded makes even the smallest screen hyper productive. I tried going back to stacking layouts after this, but it felt incredibly cramped.

As for Niri itself, it comes with many comfortable features and works seamlessly out of the box in many ways that surprised me. It has a native overview, screenshot tool, most of the media keys were programmed, and even hitting my Laptop's power button only prompted a suspend instead of the usual instant shutdown.

I'm a simple man, who uses simple tools. My aim in making a rice isn't something super flashy, but something functional with dots I can build up then use for years with minimal tweaking. Most of my dots are just lightly modified or taken from elsewhere, but that matters little to me. I just want a functional productive, and comfortable environment to work and play. Mostly everything is done via the cli or similarly simple tools, as it helps me learn the system for future career possibilities, as well as provide peak productivity. I don't know how many will care for my tool list since everyone probably knows these things, but here it is just in case.

Term - Kitty

Shell - Fish

Bar - Waybar

Menu / App Launcher - Fuzzel

Notifications Daemon - Mako

File Manager - Yazi + A boat load of plugins (Can provide list if asked)

System Monitor - Btop

Music Player - MPD + RMPC

Browser - Qutebrowser

Recording Software - wf-recorder

TUI-Wiki - Wikiman

"Notes" - Vim

I plan to revamp it and make better scripts as time goes on, but I am very satisfied for now.

Tldr; Niri fucks and you should play Rockman (Particilarly the fan retranslations, the original English localizations are dookie)

I hope you enjoyed the showcase :>

Follow-up to my GRUB theme post. This theme doesn't include the small video you see in the original game (more details on GitHub), so I hope it's unique enough for this sub, but it fits the theme. You can download it on GitHub or Pling! Feedback is welcome.

I turned one of my favorite main menu screens into a GRUB2 theme! 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 downloads and installation guide are available on GitHub and Pling.
