IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.

Hi,

If you are looking for a VPS hosting service compatible with NetBSD amd64, dedirock.com makes it pretty easy :

• full virtio devices
• qemu vCPU (KVM
• custom iso file uploading
• boot from cdrom that actually works
• VNC remote access during installation phase

What can I say, it has been a long time since I hadn't toyed with NetBSD on a VPS. That was surprisingly easy.

No need to boot in rescue mode, overwrite the default Linux OS with a NetBSD bootstrap and tweaks dozen things. Nope, just boot, install, done.

I got good recommendations for desktop shells on my other posts. I looked at Noctalia and DankMaterialShell, they both are built on top of QuickShell. QuckShell is a framework for writing widgets in QML, it wasn't made until 2024. both Noctalia and DMS were made during the summer (all these dates looking at Github). They basically became popular over night.

I was looking at ricing during the spring and didn't find anything as developed or popular. I had a bunch of tabs open for AGS & Astal, but didn't find complete shells built on them. It seems like I would've had to start from scratch if I wanted an exact rice, but now I can edit pre-made QMLs instead.

This actually seems like the best time for linux ricing yet.

A dock & system tray as one bar like KDE & Windows. So far most rices I've seen have docks and system trays separate, or even don't have a dock at all. I'm wondering if there any projects that already implemented this, before I would look at doing it myself with something like AGS or ewww. I'm on Hyprland.

It's very clear that the ricing community wants to set any given colorscheme in many apps automatically, most tools do so either with wallpapers (which is inherently opinionated), or the base16 spec. The original base16 repo hasn't been updated in over 2 years, and 16 colors simply isn't enough to make rich granular themes, especially when code has many different syntax elements. We need a successor that allows for more colors on both TUIs and GUIs, more than 16 colors (like 24 or even 32), mapped more granularly.

My story:

I've spent lots of time looking at how to have good colorschemes in apps that change dynamically, to make my desktop pretty and with variety. Many tools can apply colorschemes to apps using image / wallpaper colors like Matugen and Pywal. These tools are very well made, but I realized I actually prefer rainbow colorschemes like Catppuccin. Either way I got attached Matugen, fortunately it can be used without wallpapers and supports custom keywords, there are also base16 colorscheme managers like flavours and tinty.

But Cattppuccin's base16 theme didn't look right compared to its Neovim plugin. The plugin is very well integrated and colors a lot things for you that base16 plugins may not, I would have to set certain UI colors myself if I wanted them to match. Some of the major colors (variables, keywords, brackets, etc.) were shuffled around, so out of the box Catppuccin's base16 theme doesn't even match Cattppuccin's original vision / color harmony. All of this probably applies to other colorschemes as well. So if I want to switch between different schemes while staying true to each one, I would need to set up plugins for each app rather than automatically.

updated: got around to adding the rest of my stuff Finally got i3 blocks & Cava to work well together.

I want to sort of recreate macOS 15's dynamic wallpaper, and downloaded this set of 8 wallpapers which are most / all the colors it cycles through. On Hyprland, I want to cycle through them throughout the day, but also slowly transition from one wallpaper to another for an hour or longer, crossfading / blending them.

I did some searching, and neither timewall or adi1090x/dynamic-wallpaper can do it. I looked at making my own script to blend images once every 60 secs, but I'm not sure how to quickly crossfade images. This command takes ~15 secs, I feel this should possible much faster with or without imagemagick: magick composite -blend 50 wallpaper1.png wallpaper2.png output.png.

I want a display manager that shows the desktop as the background, instead of a background image or video. I'm thinking of auto-logging in on boot, and adding another startup command to Hyprland to lock the desktop and show the display manger. My searches didn't yield anything. The closest I could find is hyprlock which blurs the desktop, but that's just a lock screen & not a proper display manager.

Just wrapped up my Niri setup on Arch Linux! Includes an easy install script, dotfiles, live wallpapers, and full theming. Transform your desktop.

‘whatshell’ script comes from ~mascheck: the rest shown are mine. Wallpaper (although not really visible) comes from the OS-Tan Collections' gallery, and is Inu-T.

The editor on the left is Vim with an execlineb(1) plugin added. I actually use it to start my X session.

A year ago, I released the first major version of bubun, a system 'fetch' tool inspired by elenapan's bunnyfetch script.

It's obviously been a while (and a few updates) since then - though not much visually - like the program being packaged on nixpkgs, and I thought I'd post here to showcase the program here again in celebration of release v1.6.0.

GitHub repository here!

Checked the Lemmy community rules and didn't see a rule forbidding reposts, either.
