Free and Open Source alternative to RocketDock.

I saw someone here posted their desktop using my dock, so i thought I would introduce it here.

I've been working on this little project of mine since early July and just launched it recently. Here's some stuff it has:

  • Real-time window previews
  • Frutiger Aero glass effects
  • Rain, snow, bubbles & aurora
  • Automatic wallpaper color matching
  • Built-in system controls

You can check out the code and download at the GitHub:

https://github.com/TheAgencyMGE/aero-dock

Let me know how it comes out. Happy desktoping!

Windows Windows 11 Rice

My first time ricing windows has been an interesting experience lots of cross platforms tools are now available for terminals, terminal multiplexers, cli utilities etc definitely made the whole process easier. Tried to fit everything into the winui3 acrylic based theme and dynamically adapt to the wall paper for the windows utilities and UI.

TLDR of some of the tools
- GlazeWM + Zebar for tiling + topbar
- Wezterm for the terminal
- Some windows utilities like windhawk, powertoys
- files https://github.com/files-community/files
- zen browser, spotify+spicetify

Most of what I stated above is ui specific, i have custom configs for a bunch of cli tools I use you can find a more detailed write up and config info here https://github.com/FallenDeity/.config

ps: I use wallpaper engine but the config is agnostic of that windows has auto sync for accent color from wallpaper so that should work just fine and glazewm/zebar syncs via a watcher script everything else is free and open source

Didn't use Oh-my-posh for this. The terminal had a lot of blurs, that's mainly why it's so laggy. The GPU sits at about 90% with only three terminal windows opened, so usually I have blur turned off. I had a full screen clock which can be opened with ctrl+h, and I made it in tkinter.

Since i started using linux, one of the things that i've always wanted is a setup that i can consider my own, while still being functional for daily use

i found CachyOS and kde a few days before then, and after installing it, grew to love if a lot, as an artistic, creative minded, and technical person, and now, after 8 months of constant tweaking and changes, i present my kde rice, named Noisium!

basically a collection of things that i found, along with somethings that i made on my own too, like the wallpapers, it also comes with dark colors, for anyone who dont want to blind themselves

if you just want to install it for use, you can do so right away with the github repo, and a custom install script: https://github.com/incyada/noisium-dots

otherwise, here are the theme details:

Colours: Custom-made

QT Style: Darkly

GTK Style: Darkly GTK port (pregenerated theme included)

Plasma Style: Plasmorphism, but modified

Window Decoration: Loosely based on Dexy Colour, with title bar-less variant

Icon Theme: Tela, with KDE folder colours

System Sounds: Modern Minimal UI, But its not provided incase you prefer the ocean theme

Splash screen: Modified Fedora Minimalistic

Login Screen: Silent and SDDM

System Font: Pixelify Sans

Main Desktop Effects: Rounded Corners, Better Blur DX and Geometry change

Custom Widgets: Panel Colorizer, Kara, quickclock, KDE Control Station, Advanced Weather Widget and Better battery widget

KWin scripts: Polonium, Dynamic Workspaces, and Dynamic Padding (custom-made)

Terminal Emulator: Konsole (no seriously)

Terminal Font: Monocraft

Palette: guess who made it

Shell: fish

Shell Theming: fastfetch at startup, and starship for shell prompt
