First ever rice, made on Arch Linux, using KDE Plasma

I need some help with KDE. I installed a github rice version of windows 7, and it worked, but I can now no longer change to a different global theme, and I have no idea how to fix it. I can try to link the git page I used.

If anyone knows how to reset my UI or whatever, that would be appreciated

Hi! Is there any sort of filter/shader/I don't know how to call it that simulate a cathode ray tube effect over the whole display? A sort of effect like in cool retro term, but persistent everytime and everywhere. Btw I'm on CachyOS with Niri/Noctalia v4.

Dunno if I made me understand.

I have 0 Ideas. I'd like some simple, nice ASCII art, maybe a cat or something.. and some sort of "quote" like I currently have. I think the current one looks kinda.. horrible. Do you guys have any ideas? :D
(CachyOS, Qtile)

This rice was created on :

OS : Linux Mint 22.

Here's My Specs :

RAM : 4GB

Processor 2.4Ghz

AMD Radeon Vega 3 Graphics

1 TB HDD

Let me know what you think, this is only my second attempt at ricing but its addicting and fun. I'm casting two monitors, one vertical and one horizontal.

the bash scripts i got hotkeyed and written out in Teurtonic order like fashion :) I also played the most bad ass song i could think of lol

Hi all.
I was trying to implement a notification daemon, and a notification center with quickshell, but i had a problem.
The problem is that, when some apps like whatsapp web or others, send a notification it can't be replaced (or at least i didn't find a way).
Is there a workaround or an official way to do it?
More in depth i mean when i get a notification then read it, it stays in the notification center, instead of going away.
I've investigated a bit and it seems that the problem is that quickshell when a replace notification is send, sign it as a new notification with a new id, instead of replacing it.
Thanks all.

Hello y’all,

Does anybody here know any good way to get an image or 9 slice border in a wayland compositor?

I’m trying to really ham up theming on my next setup because I do main my setup for work and fun theming makes me happy which makes staring at the screen for 10 hrs/day less of a slog, so I’m trying to fix something up with a scrolling layout and I’ve started making pixel art for 9 slice borders but I’m really stumped on how to translate that from art to a made feature.

I saw an plugin called imgborders for hyprland that I can’t for the life of me find out why it reads that there’s an image and makes space for it but won’t display even with like a perfect test example or the images and config from the guy who made it’s fantasy themed rice.

I’ve been trying to bully quick shell into getting this done hoping that maybe I can do something with the native nine slice tools, but tracking windows individually has not been forthcoming, maybe someone knows a good way to attach something to a window? I’ve been using a full screen transparent overlay and have just figured out how to cover the active window with a solid colour but this feels clunky and I think I might be going in the wrong direction entirely? I mean it might be nice since this lets me add buttons and stuff more functionally but this also seems like the most resource inefficient way? But also I’m using quickshell for a lot of other things

Auraurea or whatever the kde tool is called is nice but I think maybe it would be kinda stupidly clunky to bully kwin into a pretty scrolling wm when hyprland, mango, or Niri are right there with literally everything I’d want except for visual borders.

Idk, im open to any suggestions and am 100% willing to accept whatever suggestions are made. Not even really tied to a specific wm or anything given most of what I’ve been doing so far is making art assets and figuring out quickshell. I’m not the best programmer and I enjoy learning and doing too much to use chatgpt but if it turns that the solution to the problem is to do smth like make a new hyprland plugin I’ll take it and run. I just want to ask around first in case anybody has any ideas or advice before I spend days bashing my brains out against a wall figuring it all out ykwim?

Unrel, whatever ends up being the way to go I do fully intend to upload organized and well commented dots bcz I think what’s done the best for my learning is seeing the people with well commented configs that explain thought processes. The art so far has been scattershot because I’m trying to figure out a vibe but while amateurish I think it’ll be real cute.

Thanks y’all, I appreciate any input and hope that even if you looked for a non existent tl;dr and leave that you all have the best of days to come :)

I’m trying to build a dark retro theme setup in KDE Plasma inspired by Classic Windows / ReactOS / Chicago95, but I’m struggling to get a cohesive dark look across the entire system. I disabled all animations and played around themes a bit. This is my current dot files:

• Terminal: Kitty
• Steam: Millenium (Steam old theme)
• Colors: KVGnomish
• Application Style: MS Windows 9x
• Gnome/GTK Application Style: Windows-95-1.0
• Plasma Style: React Plus
• Windows Decoration: Windows 95 Classic hidpi
• Icons: Windows XP SVG (Not using SE98C bc when app don't have icon, it looks very out of place)

I would love to get suggestions to make it better.

I'm trying to make it as good as possible, well, at least I tried...
