The beauty of an open system is that you can do pretty much whatever you want in it.

I don’t get the hate, I use aerothemeplasma every day I think its neat
how does this work, is this using WINE with ReactOS components and Windows 7 components or something similar?
tl;dr of how this clusterfuck works: this is effectively just x11 forwarding an x server from windows to linux. the fun part is a) making gnome run with an already existing window manager (namely dwm.exe lol), b) making gnome run over x11 forwarding (it is Not a fan, last time it tried running gnome on windows this is what broke it and made it quit trying), and c) actually ripping out parts of the gnome compositor again to make dwm instead of gnome render window decorations to achieve ✨️aero gnome✨️
Oh I get it now.
Thanks!I both love it and hate it so much.
They are making even more cursed stuff but I haven’t found a download yet… But they managed to get the taskbar to show up https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/@49016/115912856935158763 8hours ago from me commenting

Okay, that’s fucking cool.
“It saw” ?
Its pronouns are it/its.
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be “I saw” and “I think”, regardless of its pronouns in third person.
Yeah that’s what confused me
Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don’t like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I’ve seen, they use “we”. I don’t necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech… but then I also want to go back to using “thou” for second person singular, so I’m probably not qualified to speak on the matter.
Nope. Thou is just superior. The fact there is no distinction between second person singular and plural is fucked up.
*its (not it’s)
Edit: actually the whole thing should be:
its pronouns are it/it
(first “it” corresponds to “he”, “she”,
second “it” corresponds to “him”, “her”)
That was autocorrect ¬_¬
makes sense from a catgirl
Beautiful; i loved aero
I daily drive AeroThemePlasma by WackyIdeas. Theres also a link to CapWin96’s (I think thats their name) fork for Vista themeing there.
I miss Aero but I don’t know if I can go back to a light theme.
The great thing about it being KDE is that you can choose a dark colour scheme but keep the title bar theming, icons, fonts, etc the same :)
I see the mastodan handle, but is there a git or anything to pull try out myself? Would be hilarious to show this to some coworkers
Finally, a settlement to the CSD vs SSD debate we can all be unhappy with.
Who would sacrifice Christopher Street Day for an SSD? Not even worth debating.
This is the most cursed thing I’ve ever laid eyes on
Ok, but did anyone else really dislike this frosted glass thing that Windows did with Vista and 7?
I remember going from XP to Vista, and feeling the customization drop off considerably, and the whole glass thing made the OS feel cold and unwelcoming.
Now windows doesn’t even have any real customization. Hell, Linux distros don’t really even come with whimsical options out of the box anymore either.
Where are my fun cursors?!
KDE is still highly customisable. What are you talking about?
I went nuts with it recently, burning jello windows on a 3d cube desktop environment… good times.
I promptly disabled it all, but it was fun for 10 minutes.
You can still change the cursors in windows. I’m using KDE’s white oxygen cursors

Have you tried KDE? many many options
I remember Vista & 7 both had the Aero Glass themes, a new light blue theme that replaced the Luna themes from XP & the Classic theme. Sure a lot of color schemes & things like cool looking cursors went away, but you could easily copy most of them from older versions. Only limit I can think of is that the blue theme that replaced Luna (And is technically based off of it) sucks.
8 is the version that basically nuked customization with only the new flat theme replacing everything.
Also, fun fact, the blue theme from Vista & the classic themes both do technically exist in 8 & up, but they are hidden & seeing them usually means something is broken.
As for Linux theming, look at DEs other than GNOME, most are still pretty customizable
Oh my word.
Themes: you can, you shouldn’t, but you will.

LOL
Oi, cool it. I don’t want to just expel someone from piefed.social for that - but don’t be hurling comments like that.
Ok
