Re: 2025 Screenshot Thread

Haven't really changed my setup in years.  The only difference in this one is it's hyprland with eww instead of awesomewm that I normally use.  The performance is a lot better than X11 on my ThinkPad.  I'm planning on porting my eww setup to quickshell which is in my repos too but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Nice!

I took a look, I really like it and wish you success.

Hyprland, still one of my most beautiful setups.

Quick enhancement for using photos as wallpapers...

Open in GIMP.
Duplicate the layer.
Set the Mode on the new layer to Overlay.
Set opacity on the new layer to taste (40% is a good starting point, this is at 80% because the image is so flat)
Flatten and export your new wallpaper.

I have a lot to learn about Gimp...

What does the "Overlay" mode do to the new layer?

^ According to web it is a combo of Multiply and Screen blend mode.
https://marius.sucan.ro/blog/2023/blending-modes-maths/

if (B < 0.5)
 z = 2 * A * B
else
 z = 1 - (2 * (1 - A) * (1 - B) )

B is under, A is image to be applied and z is new pixel/image. (Which doesn't help intuition at all).

By applying an additional layer with some opacity you get increased contrast and color enhancement. It's not subtle when you create a new layer, set it to Overlay and leave opacity at 100%.

I'm not sure how overlay actually works. I haven't watched very many YouTube videos for GIMP, more trial by fire. but this video is good.

I never do any of the additional steps, it's a wall that might last a month. 2 minutes, max, done.
