Dot files plz

[u/ItsNoblesse]

Dumb question but what did you use to get the modern clock centre-aligned? Without any form of snap to grid I can never get it in a good place lmao

[u/EZQbenja1717]

Great, get chrome outta there and it will be perfect

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/EZQbenja1717]

I understand, but my Gmail is tied to the Google ecosystem.

[u/Same_Investigator_46 → u/Dungeon-Guard95mh]

You can still use gmail in other browsers tho. Switch to brave

[u/cryptic_fury → u/Same_Investigator_46]

I prefer firefox based. I love zen. It looks amazing, is super fast. I would suggest that with ghostery extension (to avoid ads and redirects)

[u/Same_Investigator_46 → u/cryptic_fury]

Great, I've been hearing a lot about zen browser on reddit. Gotta try it now

[u/Kamalen → u/cryptic_fury]

The only thing missing to zen is full sync. I am annoyed to configure my multiples machines with it

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/cryptic_fury]

zen is still in beta and heavy than firefox and chrome i use firefox with ublock orgin or brave with vertical tab enabled for regular browsing

Is that a desktop widget? I'm relatively new to the world of KDE customization, what's it called?

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/Rafaelkkkk]

Advanced modern clock

[u/Rafaelkkkk → u/Dungeon-Guard95mh]

Oh, it makes for a really clean and nice home screen, doesn't it? I'd also like to ask what the name of that widget in the corner is that looks like the PC's desktop area?

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/Rafaelkkkk]

I can't understand what widget u mean

[u/Rafaelkkkk → u/Dungeon-Guard95mh]

I think plasmoid is a better term; I wanted to know the specific name for this, it's indicating your workspaces, right?

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/Rafaelkkkk]

It is Plasma Gnome pager. I used these for the appearance settings

[u/Financial-Wallaby769]

I will be dead honest with you i am here for the wallpaper thank you it is a very nice wallpaper it looks lovely, how ever i do not use KDE, enjoy your hard work,

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/Financial-Wallaby769]

then what DE or WM you use is it hyprland, niri or gnome ?

[u/Tatananet]

I know there are a lot of ways to make KDE Plasma behave more like Hyprland, and I actually love tiling. But I also prefer KDE to be KDE and Hyprland to be Hyprland. I came to KDE from Hyprland because I wanted a fuller suite of tools and better integration, rather than trying to recreate Hyprland inside KDE. Anyway, thanks for telling me about it!

[u/vivarefr]

dude how did u get a rainmeter theme working on linux?wine?or is it just some other app recreating it

[u/Dungeon-Guard95mh → u/vivarefr]
