I built a Wayland wallpaper daemon that renders fragment shaders behind your windows on the background layer. It incorporates cursor position, all visible window geometry, and what's active. Uses Gogh to match color schemes. Requires zig wayland wayland-protocols mesa libglvnd stb.
I've been having issues with Window Managers lately either mouse or keyboard issues when gaming and my annoyance after using them for a solid couple years when it comes to configuring them. So I asked "can't I just make Plasma look like one?" answer is yes.
It tiles the same way DWL or another WM does, made the status bar to also look the same. I prefer Konsole now over other terminal emulators so I just left it as is. My Plasma is now essentially a tiling WM without the headaches of a tiling WM and everything now just works.
After the river 0.4 release I migrated from river-classic to kwm, recreating about the same design I've used for years now.
The image is a combination of three separate screenshots of the same screen. It shows a 'fake-busy' terminal (foot) based workflow featuring neovim, yazi, aerc, senpai and newsraft.

Works on wayland compositors with wlr-layer-shell, most of them except gnome. No AI, I did enjoy making this 😌.

It's been a while since I dusted off Haiku and gave it a shot at customization. After poking and prodding a bit, I am rather pleased with this one -
Using an image from the Unsplash package. Replicants on the desktop are the Activity Monitor meters, Weather (from the package repository) and WordClock (from the package repository). Within the Deskbar, there is WebWatch.
UI font is Montserrat, installed globally outside of packages.
I know it's not as busy as some screenshots, but I figured with the Replicants on the desktop, it's not as bare, as they are technically programs without borders.
~~cosmic theming is funny (oh yes compiling 517 dependencies in rust just to put colors in qt programs)~~ UPDATE: COSMIC 1.0.8 added qt6ct as dep and kdeglobals file to match with your COSMIC theme. You have to have breeze theme installed in your machine for it to work though, which means adding Kirigami for some reason.
I still feel something is off... maybe i should keep the yellow for highlights instead of everything text. still cool and fitting for hoshimachi suisei. the perfect DE. match made in space.
This is just a basic build of dwm with several patches and scripts to run it with minor cosmetics (conditional icons, vanity, etc.).

Thanks to Ben Grandes qusal which was very helpful as base for setting things up.
This is a setup optimized for productivity and efficiency, which is reflected in the lack of eye-candy and gratuitous margins.
^1^: Not pictured - I figured the screenshot was busy enough. If y'all want to see more LMK.

I got a new laptop with active cooling and a dGPU, so I needed to remake my dev environment.
I'm using Sway, my file manager is Yazi, I have jellyfin-tui for music, lunarvim for development and text editing.
This time, I uploaded my dotfiles to my git repo here so hopefully config will be faster in the future.
I hope this screenshot isn't too 'cluttered', I just wanted to show off the environment. Open to suggestions for further customization.
specs in the 'fetch, I reckon
This is my Niri setup which uses Dank Material Shell (https://danklinux.com/) to provide a shell for Niri WM. It automatically uses colours from the wallpaper to generate a colour scheme that is used across the shell and apps like Alacritty, this colour scheme also applies to QT and GTK applications.

Went from Hyprland to Gnome to Sway, and I think I'll stay. I really like the retro GTK theme, but it does not work well with GTK4/libadwaita. So I gotta put in some more work (or avoid those apps :). I also seem to move away from having a uniform theme for everything and just embracing the chaos
Here's some more things being productive (or pretending to be):
Submit screenshots of all your *NIX desktops, themes, and nifty configurations, or submit anything else that will make ricers happy. Maybe a server running on an Amiga, or a Thinkpad signed by Bjarne Stroustrup? Show the world how pretty your computer can be!
