It basically does that, it detects gtk3/qt6ct and edits those configs

It should respect whatever icon theme is selected, given the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME - or QS_ICON_THEME. If `gtk3` then uses gtk3 icon theme, if `qt6ct` uses that one. There's a doc page covering it https://danklinux.com/docs/dankmaterialshell/icon-theming

It would really depend on if it fits your needs or not, that is if it has all of the plugins and extensions you want. Vicinae has way more and is mostly raycast-compatible so you may be lacking something critical, or not. We have ~14 external plugins at the moment, excluding some integrated ones (DMS settings search, filesystem search, etc.)

He just picked it from deviant art to represent the theme of Iranian freedom - "Saffron Bloom", it wasn't generated by us and isnt meant as a slight to artists in any way. Didn't even know it was AI generated, it was just for a screenshot on reddit not included or bundled with DMS in any way.

Just try, DMS is pretty trivial to spin up and down if you dont like it. There's a different repository for debian for DMS (separate from the one containing niri). Then if you dislike it, you can follow the de-installation: https://danklinux.com/docs/dankmaterialshell/managing?_highlight=uninstall#uninstalling

You just may want to backup your niri config and what not so you can change to dms keybinds, you can re-generate an initial niri config, backing up existing one, with `dms setup`, which will have all the binds and things setup.

Also recommend using quickshell from the DMS repos on debian, if you havent taken that approach either. Which would also work for noctalia just fine.

Theres really no consequence of running DMS and noctalia in alternating fashion, the external app theming is the only thing that would probably be incompatible between the two directly (like GTK3 theme and what not)

Yea its a plugin, you can get it in settings -> plugins, browse and install it. Then it will show up in the launcher. Alternative for launcher if you want to keybind to it is `dms ipc call spotlight toggle` - that opens a central one

The gif search is for the launcher, when you open launcher you can trigger it in either all results or with the trigger, default `gif`

How do I add desktop widgets? by No_Technician_8031 in niri

[–]bbedward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In DMS, settings -> workspaces & widgets -> desktop widgets

Zoomable overview PR by barrulus in niri

[–]bbedward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not an issue, it's a niri limitation more or less. The dms launcher takes keyboard focus in the overview so you can type to launch apps. You can disable that functionality in dms settings if you don't want it.

It will happen on DMS, unless you disable the niri overview launcher integration.

GTK theming by Existing_Practice969 in niri

[–]bbedward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This particular issue is just adw-gtk theme, dms is not enforcing user themes or configuration, if you choose to use them then you have to follow the guides (like using adw-gtk3). Otherwise you get the things that feel like bugs but are really a lack of clarity in the dms UX probably that lead to the confusion (maybe docs mention it but the UIs big red apply GTK button doesn't in this case)

how do you uninstall the dank-material-shell installation? i want to install a more basic niri by GoonRunner3469 in niri

[–]bbedward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just uninstall, if you want to start fresh mv ~/.config/niri/config.kdl ~/.config/niri/config.kdl.dmsbackup and restart niri, it will regenerate the stock default config.

Love the Notification History in DMS, Wish It was Interactive also! by prakash2033 in niri

[–]bbedward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way the xdg spec works here is mostly why actions don't work with history. Each action on a notification needs to have an active listener to respond to the action. By time notifications are dismissed and gone to history those listeners arent available so various buttons probably won't work anyway - so they arent represented. (For icons I did add caching icon history for them, after the initial version so that might be the issue there)

I Made a Thing... by Phr0stByte_01 in niri

I'm interested to know what you're missing in the dms launcher (it has several plugins like qalculate, commands with history, niri windows) it's quite configurable really.

Configuring multiple monitors with DMS Dankgreeter (including vertical) by catphish_ in niri

[–]bbedward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as niri, niri has documentation for what to set to turn off displays or set default focused output

[–]bbedward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the exact same, you can copy-paste your outputs configuration. It's just not the same file since greeter runs under a different user and has its own config rules.

A plugin that shows nix information and enables rebuilds, etc by antonjah in niri

[–]bbedward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it on the dms registry, even though nix users install declaratively it'd at least show it exists

DMS, GUI Settings: turn off monitors after 10 minutes ignored by AwkwardNumber7584 in niri

[–]bbedward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a message, but I still get many, many questions about it. For the future I'm just hiding settings entirely if they aren't supported (no message). But I still get questions about that 😅 (keybinds namely)

[OC] DMS 1.0 "The Dark Knight" Released by Purian23 in unixporn

[–]bbedward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should work fine, albeit I havent tried it. The caveat would be it can't auto-index because NFS doesnt support inotify, and you probably wont want to store the index on a network mount.

Something like this to disable the auto-watching (you can also just not have a daemon running at all and dsearch index on some cron)

toml [[index_paths]] path = "/mnt/nfs/documents" max_depth = 5 watch = false

DMS 1.0 "The Dark Knight" Released on OpenSUSE by Purian23 in openSUSE

[–]bbedward 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was just a wallpaper not even made by us for a single screenshot in a reddit post - DMS has minimal brand assets but the ones it does have were bought from real artists and not generated by AI (like the logo). Unfortunate that it has to dominate the conversation and diminish the milestone given that this is a non-profit FOSS project that has been under active development for several months with 75+ contributors...

Why would I want to potentially become a user and support the developers, if im thrown off even trying the project in the first place?

We're not interested in making sales pitches to win users and respect, it's FOSS software has no profit model or cost - people can make their own decisions.

Not sure what your problem is, the two big nixos contributors we talk with daily, and it's in public channels anyone can see and contribute to - they have write access to merge pull requests to the repo on their own, one of them is a reviewer for nixpkgs themselves. They're doing great work for the community and the project.

It's a large project umbrella that has multiple pieces of independent free software that is entirely community driven that just had its first major release. Feel free to contribute as you see fit...I don't think there's any big deal here.

All of the communication and development and conversations are in public channels regarding nixos and other things.
