September 2024 Screenshot Thread

hhh · 2024-08-31 03:17:23

45 minutes to go where I am, it's been September in the east for hours now. We were last discussing dwm and river window managers, and the video cards needed to game on x11 vs wayland.

Going bold, GNOME 47 on Ubuntu Oracular. I version bumped and hacked the "Notification Position" gnome extension to get it to work on 47 and to get notifications relocated from top-center to top-right.

I had to install gnome-screenshot to set a scrot delay, it works on GNOME wayland. The built-in gnome-shell scrot tool doesn't have a delay option. grim is for wayland/wlroots.

I also made this ridiculous theme for my carbon labwc session.

Isn't September tomorrow? It's still the 31st of August and I live in FutureLand. 6 1/2 Hours until midnight.

Why are you using an extension?
The position of notifications can be easily set in the gnome-shell.css.

/* Notifications Position Top Right - SM*Settings */
.notification-banner {
  /*margin-top: 10px;*/
  margin-left: 600px; }  /* Right of center */

I don't know your screen size so I moved the notifications to the right by 600 pixels.
You can also set a margin-top if you want.

All I know is that right now I'm drinking my first coffee of the morning.

EDIT
In Australia it should be +(8-10) hours.
It seems to me that we are still a long way from September, but it doesn't matter.

Fine, I might as well post here.

Nothing new.

hhh · 2024-08-31 06:32:35

My bad, for some reason I suddenly was sure there were thirty days in August.

It happens to us all mate, I went through the last week thinking every day was Tuesday. Why? I have no idea.

@hhh yep, same here. @Döbbie03, see that's different. If ya get stuck on one day, you're working too hard. Happened more times to me than I care to admit. Don't know if you've got kids or not but in my case, I began forgetting family events. It eventually led to burnout and I left that profession, made a change at 40 and never looked back.

It's because your mental fabric is being eaten by moths. Not mine, it's a Gore-Tex/Kevlar blend. That's how I know yesterday was Tuesday the 30th, the last day of August, and today is Tuesday, September 1st, 2024. Check a Kevlar calendar, duh.

Why relearn how to extract gresources and then correctly edit the 5,000 line file when I can just install and hack an extension in 5 minutes? I'm already running extensions, this one isn't adding anything to the system load.

Same labwc themes as my last scrot, with a few minor tweaks (waybar clock, obey!), but a huge difference...

I've said it before, IMO theming is always about the wallpaper.

Have to agree. Start with the wallpaper and bring the rest into alignment.

hhh · 2024-09-01 03:07:02

^ Or in this case, have a questionable theme based on a meh wallpaper and luck out finding the right wallpaper after the fact. That rug really tied the room together, did it not.

Oh! Of course! That makes perfect sense.

Silly me.

I don't like themes that use gresources.
That's how they try to hide their copy/paste "hard work".
Mostly they just change the accent color.

But CSS code is much smarter than them.
Any line added below will override what is in gresources.
It doesn't matter if the file is gtk.css or gnome-shell.css.

You don't need to edit gresources.
If the developers haven't changed the name of the element (.notification-banner), my code will work as expected if you add it to the end of the gnome-shell.css file.

Otherwise, you'll have to (as you say) extract gresources or use Looking Glass to see the new element name:

New month, new wallpaper. Void Linux openbox on my main laptop.

shortarcflyer · 2024-09-02 14:40:21

ArchBang wallpaper for this month.
