[rice] rose pine dawn

My most up-to-date config, reuses many things from extras

But swaps widgets from alacritty to foot in service/client mode with python widgets served by a single daemon over sockets instead of one interpreter each. Cuts widgets' RAM use by more than 2x (was ~ 1 GB). Needs the foot server running.

https://github.com/dominicegginton/dotfiles/blob/main/modules%2Fdisplay%2Fdriftwm.nix - I shall submit a PR with a Nixos module for configuration of driftvm once iv tidied a few more things up, if welcome of course?

[malbiruk]

There's Nixos flake in the repo, you're free to submit a PR with Nixos module if you're willing to maintain it and strip out all personal preferences.

[dominicegginton]

That's the plan 😊 will submit a pr once I pull this together.

The module shall enforce no preferences and allow for full configuration via configuration options.

Yo, I started DriftWM in DriftWM)

[ORFLEM]

I made waypoints on minimap. But I don't upload it in JES, I'll add more functions

I created 'Xаero's Minimаp'-like map in JES

how are you tracking the coordinates?

[rywby-dot]

how are you tracking the coordinates?

Through the driftwm's IPC-socket ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)

p.s. i dont know, codex know😭. you can read the script if you want

I ment the coords in the middle of the taskbar. How did you do that, Is that mentioned in the codex or is it the waybar?

[shader] PSP Classic Wave — Turquoise Additive

A lightweight turquoise PSP-style animated wallpaper adapted for driftwm GLSL ES 1.0. It uses the familiar four-wave PSP composition, stays screen-anchored (no u_camera), and adds mint light over a petrol-teal/aqua base without darkening or recoloring it.

• Download + install instructions: https://gist.github.com/atomic-pancake-49/e04f7466046cf2f8ad04bcc13ff8cd0f
• cache_shader = false (animated shader)
• No textures, noise, loops, or raymarching
• MIT adaptation of Parking Lot Studio / ParkingLotGames PSP Classic Wave; full notice and upstream links are included in the shader

No screenshot available, but visually it is the classic PSP flowing-wave wallpaper recolored in turquoise.
