🛠 Community Rules for !LinuxBeauty

Stay on topic: Only content related to making Linux look good. Themes, DE/WM setups, terminal aesthetics, icons, wallpapers, ricing tools — that’s what we’re here for.
If it's NSFW then tag NSFW: this includes explicit, sexual, or suggestive content, wallpapers, anime pinups, or anything borderline.
Linux only: This community is for Linux. No Windows/macOS setups. BSD is fine if it looks like a Linux setup and fits the vibe.
No spam or self-promotion: No affiliate links, crypto junk, or irrelevant plugs. If you’re sharing your own project (like a theme), make sure it’s actually useful and related.
Be respectful: No toxicity, trolling, or bad online attitude. This is a place to appreciate, not tear people down.
No meme or joke posts: This isn’t the place for memes, jokes, or off-topic humor. Post them on !linuxmemes.
No AI-generated posts: All posts must be based on real setups or actual theming work. No fake screenshots or AI mockups unless clearly labeled and still related to Linux visuals.
English only: For clarity and accessibility, all posts and comments must be in English.

What you say about them?

Edit: The window animations is called “Burn My Windows” by CinnamonBurnMyWindows@klangman. Its an extension you can grab it by going to the settings > extensions > and search for Burn My Windows. You can also customize it to a lot of things. In my case I used "Aura Glow" For opening and closing windows. And I used "Focus" for minimizing and unminimizing windows.

The other widget which says "Guess What" Its called conky, you can customize it to whatever you like, but I could not add the weather function for some reason.

Why the 2 docks at the bottom? /genq

That honestly stands out to me the most

Let's see Paul Allen's Desktop

Taskbar so nice, you added it twice!

mhmmm flashy. When you say about your previous Linux Mint Desktop, what are you running now, and did you customised it yet?

[–] azha@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I did but this time I went with MacOS look and feel, I will post it today and the reason i didn't showed it here because I kinda wanted to make another post for it because I want this community to grow.

I prefer my Linux Mint with the Compiz 3D desktop cube, partly transparent so I can see the other 3 desktops behind the main one I'm currently using.

That arrangement is absolutely awesome for running 3 virtual machines simultaneously and being able to see them all at once from the 4th desktop, and quick and easy to switch between them.

But hey, cool cool however you like your Mint!

Looks clean - I like it! Quite new to Linux myself, so I don't really know how much is possible in terms of customisation, but it looks good objectively

[–] azha@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't worry I will make a detailed post today and pin it, you can find good and easy stuff in it

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Awesome, thanks!

I like the windows fizzing into existence, how did you accomplish that? Also, what's the rainmeter-esque "Guess what" background component?

[–] azha@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

yea its called "Burn My Windows" by CinnamonBurnMyWindows@klangman. its an extension you can grab it by going to the settings > extensions > and search for Burn My Windows. You can also customize it to a lot of things, try it out

Edit: I forgot to tell the other thing

Its called conky, you can customize it to whatever you like.
