Workflow [Hyprland] Made my Quickshell notches' corner shape fully configurable: straight cut, round, squircle or beyond, per corner and animated

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

25 Upvotes

A small but satisfying update for wayves-shell: the corner shape of every notch is now configurable. Each corner can be anything from a straight cut to round, a squircle, or a shape that bulges past square.

It's controlled by keys in Properties.json, same as everything else, and any change animates live:

"notch": {
"cornerRoundness": 1.45,
"radius": 30
}

0: straight cut (chamfer)

1: round (the default)

~1.45: squircle

~1.8: bulges past square

You can set it for all notches under notch, or override it for a single notch. Each corner can also have its own value with topLeftRoundness, topRightRoundness, bottomRightRoundness and bottomLeftRoundness. A per-corner key overrides that notch's cornerRoundness, which overrides the shared value.

Nested notches keep their own values where they join their parent, so you can mix shapes. The schema documents every key, so your editor will autocomplete and explain them.

Screenshot [I3wm] Finally customized my old ThinkPad T420 (Star Trek vibe) 🖖

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my current setup!

Just spent about 3 hours putting together this Star Trek / Starfleet theme on my old ThinkPad T420. It runs super smooth and it's perfect for daily use.

Here's the setup:

• WM: i3wm (using a picom fork for the rounded corners)

• Bar: xfce4-panel

• Terminal: kitty

• App Launcher: rofi

• File Manager: ranger

The terminal greeting screen always makes me feel like a starship commander lol. 'Think Different'? Nah. Run Arch.

I will update my dotfiles soon and post them here!

Let me know what you think!

My first rice. Wanted a desk that looks like nothing is there until you need it, so everything is near-black with one blue accent that only shows up on hover. Caelestia is the base; everything on screen is a Quickshell config I wrote on top of it. Details and dotfiles in the comment.

Workflow [Hyprland] A tiny pixel-art cat that lives on my desktop and sleeps in my bar

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

68 Upvotes

Been customizing Serpantinum (Quickshell shell for Hyprland) and added a couple of small mods of my own:

🐈 Desktop Cat A pixel-art cat that wanders along the bottom of your screen.

  • Reacts to music, the focused app, CPU load, and notifications
  • Sleeps in a bed on the bar
  • Earns treats while you code
  • You can toss it a treat and it chases it

🎧 Lofi Toggle SUPER + - starts a calm lofi stream for coding. Press it again to stop.

Both mods come with installers you can re-run after a shell update.

Happy to answer questions or share the code if anyone's interested!

I have been quite busy with my studies so I haven't had too much time to work. Had some time to add soft body physics to the geese and allowing them to throw each other.

(Edit: my sound settings were kinda messed up ignore the crackling lol)

Workflow [OC] neoclear - a cmatrix like clear replacement for the terminal

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

147 Upvotes

While playing around with cursor shaders on ghostty on a free weekend, I realized that the one thing I have no customization for is /usr/bin/clear, aka screen blanking, so I created a replacement for clear that will do it in am more aesthetically pleasing way.

It is made the spirit of pyroclear, but instead of burning the screen down it pours in streams of braille glyphs (U+2800–U+28FF, like neo --charset braille), cmatrix-style. You can change that to a limited set of other glyphs. The streams eat whatever is on screen, meet in the middle, fade out with decreasing brightness, and leave a blank terminal (scrollback included) for your prompt.

You can find the source at https://codeberg.org/ftranschel/neoclear/ and build with cargo, should you want to play around with it. All options are implemented solely because I was terminally (d'oh...) unhappy with the looks until I had pacing, glyph fade-out and directions customizable.

Hey everyone! I'm Aarav, 16yo guy who loves ricing, and today, after weeks of development, I'm finally ready to release my very own shell, Sweeteh (it's named after my favorite plush)!

I have made a video, which showcases 50% of what my shell is. You should watch the video for an overview, and check out https://github.com/Aarav2709/Sweeteh in case you're interested on how to install and run this!

Made a wallpaper changer where the new image slowly eats through the old one. The pattern changes each time, and you can tweak the speed, pixel size and edge color.

Written in Rust, controlled from the terminal. Demo running on Hyprland.

Workflow [niri] Floating NiriWM?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

39 Upvotes

before, I kinda miss Floating windows so I switched to Gnome for a while but i dont like it when theres no keybind to center a window so i suddenly think of configuring niri as floating since theres a keybind to center a window quickly, also i can still get the Niri experience!
also i replace the focus ring with lower opacity and blur for non focus window and more shadow for focused window. what do you think? focus ring or this?

dotfiles:
(the niri config is named floating-niri.kdl)

For most of the visuals I use cava, but some things that I didn't show such as dolphin working, ffmpeg (if I wrote it correctly), then rofi, ncmpcpp and bash scripts to make stuff work. The keyboard was my last addition, I can turn it on or off but decided to keep for the sake of the recording
