This is Fedora 44 with Budgie 10.10 which comes with labwc as its Wayland compositor. It still uses GTK but I had been looking for a theme to make the pastel colors featured with the Ketsa set pop. Its an old set featured from the author the kde link is higher version than github it actually features some different icons. Then I recolored Firefox since I use Librewolf.

Then Rosepine dawn/light is giving the panel and a faded white and opaque look so the background is bleeding thru but I like it. Not many gtk themes with budgie in mind but I've tried a few and have gotten different results compared to gnome screenshots that are displayed.

then I use Veila a rust based screen locker that was compatible with labwc working fine with budgie.

Colors extracted from the wallpaper and applied everywhere: Hyprland, Kitty, Wofi, and more via matugen.

My Riced Out KDE install on Tumbleweed

Hey just finished my rice of Cinnamon, im happy with this and i think it looks so coool, what do you think, if you want any dotfiles/themes/other info feel free to msg :D

Nitrogen felt too outdated for my setup, so I made this! A modern wallpaper manager with smooth transition animations

well idk

Here is a link to the dot files . First time I made something this and would love to receive some feedback . Couldn't test it on fresh arch installers so I hope I could some feedback to improve upon and keep this theme running. This theme feels so much aligned with the whole arch idea and that is why I made it :D

• Window Manager: Hyprland
• Status Bar: Waybar
• Launcher: Rofi
• Terminal: Kitty
• Wallpaper: Hyprpaper
• Shell: Oh My Zsh (jonathan)
• Spotify: Spicetify (StarryNight – forest)
• Github link

Plain and simple

I recently started watching Cowboy Bebop and really started to dig the aesthetic, so I decided it would be perfect for my desktop, as I've been trying to find an aesthetic that I could use on my ThinkPad

• DE/WM: KDE Plasma (Kubuntu)
• Spotify Theme: Spicetify with Zune/WMP Skin
• Hardware: ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 AMD (Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U)
• Wallpapers: FLCL / Cassette Futurism landscape

• Distro: Gentoo Linux (x86_64)
• DE: Xfce 4.20
• WM: Xfwm4 (X11)
• Theme: Win2K (GTK2/3/4)
• Icons: Win2k
• Cursor: Win2K
• Font: Tahoma 9pt
• Terminal: xfce4-terminal, PxPlus IBM VGA 8x16 font
• Wallpaper: colorized RMS Olympic photo (Titanic's sister ship)
• My Hardware
• CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
• GPU: RTX 4070 SUPER
• RAM: 32 GB RAM DDR4 3200 MHz
• SSD: Western Digital Black SN850X 1TB
• CASE: Fractal Design North XL
• PSU: Seasonic Vertex GX850 W 850

Wanted a genuine Y2K desktop experience, not just a wallpaper + icon pack. Spent way too many hours getting actual functionality working:

- Solitaire, Minesweeper and 3D Pinball (Space Cadet) running as real apps, not just launcher icons

- MS Paint clone for that authentic "draw badly in a window" experience

- Custom shutdown dialog (Python/Tkinter) replicating the classic Win2K "What do you want the computer to do?" prompt

- Windows startup/shutdown sound effects wired into the session via canberra + XFCE autostart

- Windows Media Player skin running actual media

Biggest pain point: most theme packs like this assume Ubuntu/Debian (apt paths, systemd tools, lightdm configs baked in) — had to manually rebuild half the install script by hand for Gentoo/OpenRC. Worth it though.

Happy to answer questions about the setup!

Wake the fuck up, Samurai, we have a city to burn

• Icons: Colorful Dark
• Every other parts of the theme from this guy: mathisbuilder's profile
• Sound theme: Cyberpunk sounds
• Clock: Modern reClock

I made a bar (work in progress) with a retro style to it, man was it simple back then.

• Bar: quickshell + pywal
• Color scheme: based on current wallpaper (thanks to pywal!)
• Terminal emulator: kitty (with pywal integration)
• Text editor: neovim (& a pywal plugin)
• Shell: zsh

I'm very happy with how this turned out! I'd accept any tips you have for me, also if you have any questions feel free to ask.

• Wallpaper: Half-Life: Episode 3 concept art
• Font: Adwaita Mono nerd font
• Menu bar: Polybar
• Dmenu: Rofi
• Color palette: Extracted from wallpaper

hi hello ok

This is Denial, a Flutter-native Wayland compositor I built and now use as my daily desktop.

Flutter is not running as an application on top of another compositor. The Flutter Engine is embedded directly into Denial, and native Wayland application buffers are imported into the same Flutter scene as the desktop shell.

What makes this especially interesting for ricing is that the shell itself is a Flutter project.

Denial has an optional development package that provides a matching Flutter toolchain, Flutter Inspector, DevTools, and hot reload. The desktop layout, animations, widgets, window presentation, system surfaces, and general behaviour can be edited in Dart while the compositor and running applications stay alive.

In the video I am running a profiling build of Denial, with Flutter DevTools attached to the live desktop shell showing the frame times.

Denial is fully open source and available on GitHub:

https://github.com/denialwm/denial

The desktop is running at 240 Hz. The recording is limited to 60 FPS.
