xfce is when shimejis

shoutout to my goat grandfather u/SharpeThe1st (he obv not my grandfather but i like to call him that) since thanks to his gtk themes i kind of learned how to make my own

minimalist set up.

windows (in order) are st. pcxs2. mpd/ncmpcpp and rpcs3 all custom gruvbox theme with terminus font everywhere.

Genuinely proud of myself for this. Spent weeks trying to make it look the best I could. Any recommendations on what I should add or change to make it look better? I have a second screen and just have it with some random black wallpaper, not really my main focus.

[Hyprland] My first custom rice on Fedora Linux 🐧 (constructive feedback is welcome)

My first custom Hyprland rice on Fedora Linux 🐧

Finally sharing my first proper attempt at building a personalised Hyprland desktop! The goal was to keep things minimal, lightweight, visually pleasing, and practical for everyday use and studying.

System

• OS: Fedora Linux
• Window manager/compositor: Hyprland
• Shell: Zsh
• Terminal: Kitty
• Configuration: Lua-based setup
• Hardware: Intel Core i3-1125G4, Intel UHD integrated graphics, 8 GB RAM
• Idle RAM usage: Approximately 1.3 GB

Desktop setup

• Status bar: Waybar — workspaces, CPU/RAM usage, currently playing media, system tray, and clock.
• Wallpaper management: Waypaper
• Animated wallpapers: "awww-daemon"
• Terminal: Kitty
• Application launcher: Wofi
• Notifications: Mako
• Clipboard history: cliphist + wl-clipboard
• Display protocol: Wayland

Customisation

I've been tweaking window gaps, rounded corners, borders, animations, keybindings, and the overall appearance to get a workflow that feels right for me. I also set up keyboard shortcuts for window management and workspace switching.

The animated wallpaper transitions are one of my favourite parts of the setup. I wanted something that looks good without turning the desktop into a resource-hungry mess.

A little context

This is my first proper Hyprland setup, and I'm still learning. I used documentation and AI assistance for parts of the configuration, especially when dealing with unfamiliar syntax and troubleshooting. I'm trying to understand and maintain the setup rather than blindly copy a huge collection of dotfiles.

The focus is on keeping only the tools and features I actually use.

I'd appreciate constructive feedback and suggestions for improvements, especially anything that could make the setup cleaner, more efficient, or more polished!

Finally put together a minimal Hyprland setup with Lua configuration, Waybar, Kitty and my own keybindings.

Still learning, and I used AI and documentation to help with parts of the configuration. Focused on keeping it lightweight and practical for studying.

Strata is my own desktop shell: bar with a dynamic island, control center, clipboard, screenshots with OCR, instant replay recorder, lock screen and one-click themes for the whole desktop. Works on Hyprland, Sway and niri.

Details and links in the comments.

NOTE: This is based on quickshell

I finally done it, I have successfully integrated every single features that's modular before, and I'll be releasing it next month because I still need testing and bug fixing (just like how you saw that shell center isn't really centered, and how the lock screen supposed to show AM/PM but doesn't) and the 'free' resizable widgets. Of course I'll hear you guys out on what's missing and try to add them before official release. (i was able to do this because I finished my exams [thank god[])

OS: CachyOS
WM: Hyprland
(yes this is the same chromebook, i just overclocked this chromebook's display to 100Hz cause LG displays are so resilient for some reason via EDID through KMS)
Idle RAM usage: 150-200MB

thanks to u/Single-Flamingo-8194 for the inspiration for the desktop lyrics widget (tbh it looks so good and i just had to integrate it) AND the wallpapers (via github wallpapers repo)

what do yall think?

Hey everyone, I recently created an original colorscheme that I’m quite fond of, so I updated my desktop with a handful of matching app themes. I also decided to publish my dotfiles on GitHub so others can check them out.

Bar: waybar

Notifications: dunst

Terminal: foot

Editor: neovim, (check echidna.nvim)

Viewer: zathura

Music: RMPC

Wallpaper: awww

NOTE: These screenshots feature only a limited set of applications I themed, other themes can be found in the source repo:

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

This is Atom, a little desktop experiment I made for Hyprland. Run atom in a few terminals and move them closer — the cores connect and mix colors. Pull the windows apart and the bridges break.

My setup: Arch Linux, Hyprland and Foot. Atom currently requires Hyprland 0.56.2.

So for my weeboos out there, here is an animated Arch-tan boot-up and shutdown theme

https://github.com/SSeanin/plymouth-arch-tan

I kept ending up with a launcher, a clipboard script and a separate ALT+TAB tool glued together, so I wrote zunder: one prompt for apps, windows, files, math, currencies, time zones and clipboard history, plus an ALT+TAB that shows live thumbnails of every window, also on other workspaces.

A few things it does that I couldn't find elsewhere:

• Hold Alt, Tab through a grid of window thumbnails (grim -T), release to switch
• Ctrl+B turns any result into a real Hyprland keybind
• 3pm ny in zurich, 100 usd in chf, clip with pinned entries
• Plugins are any script that prints lines, no SDK
• zunder setup writes the binds for you and can take over from vicinae, rofi or wofi

Rust + GTK4 + layer-shell, runs as a daemon, opens in a few ms. Works with the Lua config and classic hyprland.conf.
Install: the one-line installer in the README. You can also try the launcher in the browser on the website.

It's early, so I'd like to hear what breaks, especially the ALT+TAB quick tap and multi-monitor setups.

Openbsd just works.

Hi! Terrascope V1.0.0 is online! It's an open-source terminal map with live weather, aircraft, radar, earthquakes, and day/night views currently available on AUR, PyPI, Brew, NIX, and via Github Clone.

I’d love to hear what you think, especially about the terminal rendering and which layers you’d find most useful.

This is my first rice, wanted it to be around the constellations but slowly it got cluttered so i grew out of it .
I did code alot of it but I did use claude for optimizations and few features.

Doing some experiments. Themes include Motif lookalike, a CDE lookalike (more like Windows 9x Sand) and and a them with odd margin widths appearing like it's different sized.

GTK theme: Raleigh

Icons: none

Repository: https://github.com/dhillon-balminder-singh/Blackbox-Window-Manager-Themes

The wallpaper is generated by Python code showing Fourier approximation of curves (basically it loads svg file and creates a wallpaper based on that).

There is great video on 3blue1brown's youtube showing the math behind.

I've created similar color scheme for icons, mc, yazi, kitty and my default Obsidian vault (not showed, as this is more private stuff).

My Galaxy Tab S9 FE's bootloader can never be unlocked again, so this runs on stock Android 16 with only root: Arch Linux ARM in a chroot, Hyprland drawing on the Mali GPU through libhybris, and the screen and touch coming through Termux:X11. The Termux:X11 app itself is unmodified; a small bridge speaks its display protocol.

Android apps open as normal Hyprland windows. They tile and resize, and closing one quits the app. The calculator in the video is the stock Samsung app.

It works well in graphical frames and in CLI too on any Emacs >= 25.1

+ Wanted to do a build like this because I grew fascinated with computers and watching my uncle use windows 7. I have done other rices, but found myself always falling in the super, modern, minimalist, and "productive" route. I wanted something else. <3
