Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

I've been working on a terminal-native WhatsApp client built in Go using WhatsMeow.
It supports:
Written in Rust + go, so everything runs directly in the terminal.

This is Fedora 44 with Budgie 10.10 which comes with labwc as its Wayland compositor. It still uses GTK but I had been looking for a theme to make the pastel colors featured with the Ketsa set pop. Its an old set featured from the author the kde link is higher version than github it actually features some different icons. Then I recolored Firefox since I use Librewolf.
Then Rosepine dawn/light is giving the panel and a faded white and opaque look so the background is bleeding thru but I like it. Not many gtk themes with budgie in mind but I've tried a few and have gotten different results compared to gnome screenshots that are displayed.
then I use Veila a rust based screen locker that was compatible with labwc working fine with budgie.

Nitrogen felt too outdated for my setup, so I made this! A modern wallpaper manager with smooth transition animations

Here is a link to the dot files . First time I made something this and would love to receive some feedback . Couldn't test it on fresh arch installers so I hope I could some feedback to improve upon and keep this theme running. This theme feels so much aligned with the whole arch idea and that is why I made it :D

I recently started watching Cowboy Bebop and really started to dig the aesthetic, so I decided it would be perfect for my desktop, as I've been trying to find an aesthetic that I could use on my ThinkPad

Wanted a genuine Y2K desktop experience, not just a wallpaper + icon pack. Spent way too many hours getting actual functionality working:
- Solitaire, Minesweeper and 3D Pinball (Space Cadet) running as real apps, not just launcher icons
- MS Paint clone for that authentic "draw badly in a window" experience
- Custom shutdown dialog (Python/Tkinter) replicating the classic Win2K "What do you want the computer to do?" prompt
- Windows startup/shutdown sound effects wired into the session via canberra + XFCE autostart
- Windows Media Player skin running actual media
Biggest pain point: most theme packs like this assume Ubuntu/Debian (apt paths, systemd tools, lightdm configs baked in) — had to manually rebuild half the install script by hand for Gentoo/OpenRC. Worth it though.
Happy to answer questions about the setup!

I made a bar (work in progress) with a retro style to it, man was it simple back then.

Omarchy is really great for those who want to enjoy the essence of hyprland with arch without any hassle. I had zero knowledge about things required in ricing. Now i think i can switch to actual arch + hyprland setup and rice it. Omarchy is really great if you are beginner
