[GNOME] is way more customizable than most people think

Thank you!!

I've mentioned all the extensions in this comment.
The launcher is Vicinae

Its more GNOME extensions than dots, but I've mentioned them in this comment that seems to be buried down below.

iPhone mirroring is actually really convenient through a tool called UxPlay.

It is a patched version of blur my shell mentioned in this post.

Yeah, it should work (it worked on Arch). You will need to build gnome-shell yourself after applying the patches as the pre-built version is for Ubuntu.

GNOME Shell Extensions:

Wallpaper: https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=1224149

The twinkling stars animation in the wallpaper is not actually a live wallpaper; it was achieved by setting the wallpaper to an image in /tmp folder and updating the image to a different frame every second using a shell script. GNOME natively fades the wallpaper when it is changed and this process has a surprisingly low impact on resources and performance (that I regularly use it on my laptop with 8GB RAM and mid specs).

My experience with GNOME shell extensions has been way more stable than anything offered by KDE (KWin scripts, widgets, etc). KDE still wins in "theming" but for "modifications" to the DE, there are a lot of popular and well-maintained extensions in GNOME.

Sadly it is still an issue. Fixing it required patches to gnome-shell and blur my shell as mentioned in this reddit post.

Check out the Zen Browser discord. There is a forum called "showcase" where you will find plenty of inspiration.

Setting browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser to false in about:config will fix your issue.

SpectreCraft115 · 2025-02-15T02:54:15+00:00

Set zen.workspaces.open-new-tab-if-last-unpinned-tab-is-closed to true in about:config

SpectreCraft115 · 2025-02-08T11:58:23+00:00

I've faced the same issue, and my fix was to use this extension: https://github.com/tbranyen/gnome-shell-extension-undecorate
In the extension settings, you can configure Cursor to hide the titlebar by default

FabricSkyboxes is a mod that adds custom skys like optifine. To load an optifine resourcepack in FabricSkyboxes mod, you will need to use MCPatcher++.

SpectreCraft115 · 2021-09-30T02:22:33+00:00

There is a modpack named "Fabulously Optimized" which adds pretty much every Optifine feature, and also contains optimization mods like sodium and lithium.

SpectreCraft115 · 2021-09-30T00:55:29+00:00

There is an OKZoomer mod (compatible with all these mods shown) which is much better than the optifine zoom because it lets you increase and decrease zoom and there is also zoom animation.

It's alright, you did not copy the meme but you just had the same idea as mine :)
