WetGeek I got Jameson's on the list. 🥃 . Usually a holiday staple but has been a year--

Did you also just get Firefox update on a Wednesday night? Must have been some critical vulnerability.

edit. looks like @Harvey just fixed a handful of known bugs (via changelog)

I like Jameson/s as well. Irish just doesn't get the love that Scotch does, for some reason. Thus, it's generally more affordable. All the more reason to like it, in my book.

I don't remember the Firefox update, but then, I don't use Firefox. Sorry.

having switched to plasma after a lengthy relationship with gnome

ive found great consistency in the "fluent-dark" theme,
bottom middle floating panel for task manager
top panel with commonly used widgets in the middle
shoutout to the chatgpt widget also!

that must be a trip and a half🙂

what's the dock? is it built-in plasma dock/panel (like budgie has) or latte or other? all looks great.

jawkins

brent just a standard plasma panel =]
set it to "floating" and resize it,

and honestly, the transition has been pretty easy, the solus implementation of plasma is smooth 🙂

I recently changed my traditional Plasma laptop arrangement to a top bar with a Latte dock on the bottom, after playing with Solus Xfce for a while. It made me appreciate that arrangement (which is default for Xfce). I never really developed a taste for GNOME.

I especially appreciate that Latte dock. Like most KDE software, it's very well designed and built. It's almost uncanny how well it disappears when it's not needed, and appears when it is.

Oh, and welcome to KDE Plasma. You're going to be very happy with it, I'm sure.

Hello again

Still few things to touch up here and there to make it feel more comfy.

Soutaisei I would try such a true black theme on the OLED screen 😃
The top panel's colors are nice and minimal 👍️
Not sure if I like white windows borders tho, it reminds me about those high-contrast themes on Windows that I never tried 😃

Idea: maybe make header-bars a bit more colorful? 💡

Soutaisei How did you get Nitch working? Did you have to manually update Nim?

Soutaisei

Solarmass

All valid points and thank you!
You kinda need some sort of window border on such full on black theme, otherwise you would get lost and confused finding where does your window end 🙂

Headerbar (polybar) still needs a lot of work. And certainly planning to work in it to make it better. Initially thought of giving it a slight border color

I've been away from Linux for a while but recently checked in on Solus and see a lot has changed around here : )

Really digging the new built-in budgie theme. So much so that I had to try decking the rest of the theme out to match. Ergh, and I promised myself I wouldn't get caught up in tinkering around with things this time!

If any Buddies of Budgie crew reading this, any chance you'll be updating other theme/folder components to match your new built-in 'green' theme? Or if migrating to EFL, this would all be moot?

EbonJaeger

h3o the built-in theme will only style Budgie components; items like applets on the panel, Raven, etc. Maintaining a full theme is a lot of work, with many ever-moving targets. We simply don't have the time even if we wanted to. I'm glad you like the new colors, though!

h3o I would love if you would be able to share how you did this theme, I actually really like it as well!

c2p

nice work, how did you make your clock font bigger and bolder like that?

c2p

h3o Go to Budgie-Desktop-Settings -> Panel -> Clock -> custom format -> copy one of the codes from above and paste it in. You will see the effect.
 %a %d %b %H:%M
If you prefer AM/PM
 %a %b %d %I:%M %p

Solarmass

Soutaisei My idea is something like this:

not use 100% white color at all
maybe a slightly rounded external borders with width 3-10 times bigger, like this:

darker internal window separators, including close/minimize buttons
windows title-bars are filled with different (accent) color

WetGeek

Solarmass windows title-bars are filled with different (accent) color

That should make it easy to tell a dialog window from the main window it's displayed above. That's a problem I have with some dark themes -- I can't easily tell which window I'm working with.

The xfce edition lends itself to proper customization

Indeed it does. That looks almost like a Plasma desktop. And my Xfce VM is even a little smaller than my MATE VM.
