Today I decided to vibe-slop a wallpaper engine implementation for linux using Claude.

I relied heavily on CaptSilver/wallpaper-scene-renderer for the file formats and general mechanism, but this is not a "rust port" of it.

I've tested it on 700+ wallpapers (scenes/videos/web) and it works flawlessly, so I thought I should share it so others can benefit as well.

It is technically DE-agnostic, as it simply depends on the layer-shell extension of Wayland, but some integration with KDE exists for allowing to pause wallpapers when conditions are met, like a maximized window, or audio playing from an app.

This is Atom, a little desktop experiment I made for Hyprland. Run atom in a few terminals and move them closer — the cores connect and mix colors. Pull the windows apart and the bridges break.

My setup: Arch Linux, Hyprland and Foot. Atom currently requires Hyprland 0.56.2.

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)

The effect works with images, videos & Wallpaper Engine scenes :)

Coming in the next version of Skwd-wall which is an ultra performant wallpaper manager and daemon.

Hi! Terrascope V1.0.0 is online! It's an open-source terminal map with live weather, aircraft, radar, earthquakes, and day/night views currently available on AUR, PyPI, Brew, NIX, and via Github Clone.

I’d love to hear what you think, especially about the terminal rendering and which layers you’d find most useful.

Hi! I wanted to share new mode on my C pywal-like color-palette generator:)

``--comfort-mode`` looks like above ↑

Rice:

- WM: Sway

- Bar: Waybar

- Term: Foot

- Colors: Hellwal

- Thing in the terminal: cbirds by clainstone

- Firefox with hellwal theme

- Editor nvim with hellwal-vim

Also I create a website where you can see example outputs of some wallpapers if you are interested:)

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!

Shell: ChillPill-Shell
For: Arch and NixOS with Hyprland (Doesn't requires dGPU)
Repository URL: https://github.com/LUCKYS1NGHH/ChillPill-Shell

Song: Bunny Bunny Bunny

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.

TSWM is an X11 window manager made by me (texivi) TSWM stands for
T-Texivi's S-Syllable W-window M-manager

WM: TSWM

Icons: Syllable 0.6.6 icons

I have it working on my server and windows too (i don't want to be taken out back and shot so i wont show the windows one)

I kept ending up with a launcher, a clipboard script and a separate ALT+TAB tool glued together, so I wrote zunder: one prompt for apps, windows, files, math, currencies, time zones and clipboard history, plus an ALT+TAB that shows live thumbnails of every window, also on other workspaces.

A few things it does that I couldn't find elsewhere:

• Hold Alt, Tab through a grid of window thumbnails (grim -T), release to switch
• Ctrl+B turns any result into a real Hyprland keybind
• 3pm ny in zurich, 100 usd in chf, clip with pinned entries
• Plugins are any script that prints lines, no SDK
• zunder setup writes the binds for you and can take over from vicinae, rofi or wofi

Rust + GTK4 + layer-shell, runs as a daemon, opens in a few ms. Works with the Lua config and classic hyprland.conf.
Install: the one-line installer in the README. You can also try the launcher in the browser on the website.

It's early, so I'd like to hear what breaks, especially the ALT+TAB quick tap and multi-monitor setups.

wallpaper with my username (not reddit, everything else), and of course the arch linux logo with some overlays and stuff. how does it look?
