Okay, that's fucking cool.

This is cursed, unnecessary, unexpected and impressive all at the same time.
They even got the good version of Aero that doesn't add weird white stripes to the glass, and instead let's it just be blurry.
I both love, and hate this. Thanks.
The beauty of an open system is that you can do pretty much whatever you want in it.

Thanks, I love it
Beautiful; i loved aero
I miss Aero but I don't know if I can go back to a light theme.
They are making even more cursed stuff but I haven't found a download yet... But they managed to get the taskbar to show up https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/@49016/115912856935158763 8hours ago from me commenting
I see the mastodan handle, but is there a git or anything to pull try out myself? Would be hilarious to show this to some coworkers
Finally, a settlement to the CSD vs SSD debate we can all be unhappy with.
how does this work, is this using WINE with ReactOS components and Windows 7 components or something similar?
tl;dr of how this clusterfuck works: this is effectively just x11 forwarding an x server from windows to linux. the fun part is a) making gnome run with an already existing window manager (namely dwm.exe lol), b) making gnome run over x11 forwarding (it is Not a fan, last time it tried running gnome on windows this is what broke it and made it quit trying), and c) actually ripping out parts of the gnome compositor again to make dwm instead of gnome render window decorations to achieve β¨οΈaero gnomeβ¨οΈ
Ok, but did anyone else really dislike this frosted glass thing that Windows did with Vista and 7?
I remember going from XP to Vista, and feeling the customization drop off considerably, and the whole glass thing made the OS feel cold and unwelcoming.
Now windows doesn't even have any real customization. Hell, Linux distros don't really even come with whimsical options out of the box anymore either.
Where are my fun cursors?!
KDE is still highly customisable. What are you talking about?
You can still change the cursors in windows. I'm using KDE's white oxygen cursors

I remember Vista & 7 both had the Aero Glass themes, a new light blue theme that replaced the Luna themes from XP & the Classic theme. Sure a lot of color schemes & things like cool looking cursors went away, but you could easily copy most of them from older versions. Only limit I can think of is that the blue theme that replaced Luna (And is technically based off of it) sucks.
8 is the version that basically nuked customization with only the new flat theme replacing everything.
Also, fun fact, the blue theme from Vista & the classic themes both do technically exist in 8 & up, but they are hidden & seeing them usually means something is broken.
As for Linux theming, look at DEs other than GNOME, most are still pretty customizable
Honestly hate all the attempts at recreating aero in linux so maybe I should try to do this in kde.
"It saw" ?
Its pronouns are it/its.
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be "I saw" and "I think", regardless of its pronouns in third person.
Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don't like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I've seen, they use "we". I don't necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech... but then I also want to go back to using "thou" for second person singular, so I'm probably not qualified to speak on the matter.
Nope. Thou is just superior. The fact there is no distinction between second person singular and plural is fucked up.
Ok, i'm on board. Thank thou two
Not sure but I think it should be thank thee.
Edit: Yeah pretty sure

Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.
But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.
*its (not it's)
Edit: actually the whole thing should be:
its pronouns are it/it
(first "it" corresponds to "he", "she",
second "it" corresponds to "him", "her")
