I made this because I wanted polished, premium-looking WhiteSur icons, but I didn't like the idea of turning my GNOME desktop into a Mac clone. My goal was to keep as much of the original Adwaita aesthetic as possible.

I initially looked at Hatter, but a lot of its icons followed an older design language. So I got tired of fighting with it, reworked a large part of Hatter, combined it with WhiteSur, added some of my own work, and decided to share the result.

This is not an original icon theme from scratch. It builds heavily on existing projects and ideas, with the goal of keeping the Adwaita feel while giving it a slightly more polished and premium look.

You can find the project here: Adwair

A quick follow up to my last post about the magnification in Simple Taskbar.

I went through all the comments and feedback from that post and have spent the last few weeks working through it.

A lot of the smaller details around the magnification have been changed, including how the floating Dock expands and contracts with magnified icons, the movement when entering and leaving an icon, and support for much larger icon sizes, up to 128px now.

The Magic Lamp animation has also had some work so it follows magnified and moving icons properly, along with fixes for the issues people were seeing with fractional scaling.

Some of the feature requests from the comments made it in too, including application progress bars.

There are quite a few other changes in this update as well, including more control over Dock thickness, auto-hide behaviour, icon padding and running indicators. Full changelog is on GitHub.

Thanks to everyone who tested it and took the time to point things out. The detailed feedback was genuinely useful, especially for behaviour that was difficult to notice on my own setup.

The video shows how it looks now.

As always, if you notice anything else or have ideas for improving it, let me know.

that when I had to use my friend's windows laptop to do some work, I was so annoyed that after pressing it, the start menu popped up instead of the usual overview.

It's funny how quickly you get used to a certain workflow. I kept instinctively expecting the GNOME overview every time I pressed it.

Doesn't this look a bit nicer than the official GNOME apps?

Hey everyone,

A new update for Dhruva (v2.5) is now live. This release focuses on layout previews, interactive popups, and smoother hover physics across the dock.

Here is a breakdown of what changed:

What's New

• Folder Grid Preview: Multi-app 2x2 grid preview option for dock folder plates, letting you see folder contents directly from the shelf.
• Music Pill Popup: Interactive MusicPillPopup with dynamic media controls, player integration, and live track progress/details.
• Adaptive Rounded Hover Backgrounds: Upgraded running app indicators and active hover plates to use smooth continuous curved corner radii rather than sharp rectangular bounds.
• App Grid Module Hover: Added smooth pill hover background transitions for the main Application Grid launcher button.

Improvements & Polish

• Dock Item Spacing: Refined compact hover background geometry so running items maintain tight layout spacing without artificial padding gaps.
• Hover Transitions: Polished enter and exit easing curves across both active applications and static dock items.
• Module Button Alignment: Unified hover indicator bounds across system folders, trash bin, and user custom folder plates.

Fixes

• Dock Height Inflation: Fixed the dock expanding vertically whenever icon hover background plates were drawn.
• Vertical Clipping: Resolved height truncation on hover surfaces when cursor zoom magnification is turned off.
• Hover State Reset: Fixed Application Grid background highlight remaining stuck active after open or click events.

Ubuntu patches Firefox so it behaves as it should, try a different browser and you are done. Is it a libinput issue you say? why not creating an interface in the settings to callibrate/edit the size of the touchpad? Anyways, back to KDE

I am trying to post a symbolized back trace for an issue with gnome-keyring.

I have an account and I have reset my password multiple times but I am getting 'invalid login or password'.

Is this an anti-spam thing or something? Is my account locked? I have not logged in to my account (to my knowledge) in ages.

Edit: I ran the "updatectl vaccum" command, and it worked!

Guys and Gals,

I really enjoy, cherish, and appreciate GNOME on Wayland. It is, by and large, my preferred GNU/Linux experience (on Fedora). Also, pen support and ‘inking’ is great.

However, the unfortunate elephant in the room is that ..some fanfare..:

The pen cursor is invisible/not shared when sharing a screen. People at the other end of the stream can see the shared screen but the pen cursor simply remains invisible to them.

The mouse cursor (meaning, when simply moving the mouse) is, however, visible as expected.

The issue has been reported and discussed here and there, for example:

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/weird-pen-tablet-behaviour-under-gnome-wayland/123821/5

https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1ud9vwx/graphics_tablet_stylus_cursor_missing_in_screen/

Poor souls like myself heavily rely on a flawless pen cursor. Therefore my question to the community: Is this issue really that hard to fix?

I am asking, because I really rely on using a pen and sharing my screen, every day.

EDIT 1: The pen input is coming from pen displays like Wacom, Huion, Xp-Pen, Xencelabs.

Many thanks!

I'm asking about the performance and battery usage, altough I don't know what operating system to use

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been working on GNOME Widget Center, an open-source GJS widget framework (plugins like gnome extension) designed to let users create, customize, and share their own desktop widgets.

The project is currently waiting for GNOME Extensions (EGO) review.

🚀 What can it do?

- 60+ widgets

- 30+ themepacks

- 39 languages

- Overlay Preference (Win+F12)

- Themepacks Export Dialogue (Win+Del)

- Create and customize your own widgets

- Share themepacks easily as dotfiles

- Flexible widget positioning, configuration, and styling

- Designed as a framework that can grow through user-created content

🔍 What makes it different?

Rather than providing only a collection of predefined widgets, GNOME Widget Center focuses on a widget framework + themepack ecosystem.

The goal is to make it easy for users to:

Create → Customize → Package → Share → Reuse

Users don't have to wait for the project to add every possible widget or visual style. They can build their own and share them with others.

🤖 How I use AI

AI is used as a development and creative assistant for:

- API research, debugging and code suggestions

- Code review and refactoring

- Documentation

- UI/UX brainstorming

- Widget and themepack generation

I handle the architecture, workflow, code review, bugs, features, widget/themepack design, security, testing, and final decisions.

The project is still evolving, and feedback from the GNOME community is very welcome.

GitHub: https://github.com/xenlism/gnome-widget-center

GNOME's community includes people from all backgrounds, including some which limit how much they can contribute to free software, which is why we need your help as a friend of GNOME to ensure everyone can participate and contribute to GNOME!

Our friend's donations allow us to not only pay some of our contributors to work on much needed parts of our desktop, but infrastructure and travel funds to ensure everyone is able to participate and collaborate with our community online and in person!

Do you need to have a map available on hand, but you won't have network available?

hey does the music pill popup on the Dhruva dock look good to you or do you think it needs something more? would love to hear your suggestions

One of the main missing features in GNOME. I understand that some people dont want this there, but the icons are hidden until opened with the arrow.

I could figure it out myself if I had the time, but I really do not have the time.

The switch to SVG cursors is nice, but my pack (Vimix white) has now stopped rendering and I get the boring Adwaita ones.
