      Awesome, now its looking more and more configurable! Hope they focus on xwayland too, it will be enough for me to give it a try.

        wlr-output-management protocol was a massive painpoint for me because of https://github.com/efernau/rot8 I will be trying this again shortly, now we just need some kind of support for osks

          Ohh FFS..
          Let me guess, you have a pc that lights up like a Christmas RGB tree.
          And you might even use more power for your RGB lights then your pc itself...

          Yeah, there's some sarcasm in there. I see absolutely no point in animating window borders besides being hugely distracting.

            It's awesome that the niri lead ( https://github.com/YaLTeR ) is also in the list of contributors to smithay ( https://github.com/Smithay/smithay/graphs/contributors )

            COSMIC also depends upon (and contributes to) smithay, so there's some cross-pollination of common features and fixes

              It's a bit like the "Dragonized" Garuda Linux, with all the neon and transparent glass effects... I showed it off to one of my colleagues for amusement and their immediate reaction was, "Wow, that looks cool!" quickly followed by, "but I guess it'll be really annoying in daily use."

              There's a reason why my daily driver desktop is "boring" Cinnamon with an inoffensive theme, and an Openbox fallback. Last time I had RGB on a computer intentionally was with the Corsair Pro DDR500 sticks.

                I use RGB every now and then, but only so that I can periodically change the colours to a single colour and sync everything. that and when the kids come over, I can turn on rave mode lmao

                  I mean it would be nice if it were synced to the RGB of your hardware, wouldn't it??

                    This might come as a total surprise to you, but people can and do have different aesthetic tastes than you.
