Neat! Though if you're using a tiling WM, having a wallpaper is kinda useless.
It depends! I spend most of my time in the terminal, and my terminal has a bit of transparency to it. Not too much to make it distracting, but just enough to make it pretty and pleasing.
Well, everyone has a different taste. I don't like transparency or even gaps but as I see from *unixporn*, a lot of people do.
*Also, matcha addiction does that to people. :P*
thanks! kinda, but i'm using hyprland and the foot terminal. You can control the inactive opacity on hyprland, and control foot's alpha channel, which can make it transparent
No problem! My first switch to Wayland was with Hyprland. It's very fancy and I see how this tool can get along with it quite nicely. Though I was a Bspwm user and switched to River recently. I usually only see my wallpaper when I first boot the system and if I want to run a non-automated program. But still even for me this can be useful when I work with two monitors.
Would this run on River by the way? Since River handles workspaces a little differently.
very fancy and nice to use. i see
I searched for a River socket or riverctl command that would allow me to get the active workspace number, but i couldn't find a way for that currently in River. so i can't implement it for River not currently at least. unless maybe someone knows a way to get that info who could refer me to the documentation
I guess currently there isn't one, at least directly. I read that there is an undergoing work to separate the window management in River, probably you should check back later after those changes are done. I'm also waiting for those changes to get a more traditional navigation.
cool! thanks for letting me know, i'll try to keep an eye on it
I use a similar feature on KDE (along with a KWin script for tiling) basically just to set the background color of my translucent panel, so I can quickly tell workspaces apart. 🙃
That's an interesting way to put it. I like how everyone does different things on their workspaces and some of them can be pretty clever. :)
