we've got monitor edge barriers! the feature i missed most from windows is here i'm so pleased!

i doubt it, i don't see why an icon pack would have a systemd service. probably something to do with moonlight [nvidia]

still, thank you for introducing me to a new* icon pack

I have to say I like this one

imageDolphin

kde can still look like that too:

kde oxygen theme, plasma 5.27

i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been


i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

(current theme setup)

[^1]: this is conjecture, i haven't done any studies

lemm.ee has temporarily disabled all image uploads actually, due to the csam spam (see the post on !meta@lemm.ee)

/0 has recently released his ai anti-csam filter though, so hopefully they should be back soon

huh, i never knew star wars had those

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

i wonder if i could do that in wallpaper engine actually

it might look a bit weird with the ships being static though

i love everything ralph mcquarrie has done. for those who don't know, he did most of the star wars concept art, but he's also done his own pieces too. i have seen unreliable sources claim that this is an early bespin or coruscant concept, but take that with a pinch of salt

higher quality image, but cropped (and with the signature removed):

i love the reflections! they're done really well with so few brushstrokes!

nice avatar by the way, i think that's possibly their best album

 

it's cool to see two ships meeting at an oblique angle! normally in space they just conveniently happen to align with each other

i think it depends

i mean it looks shitty on my screenshot, but that's because it's a phone not a tablet. my eyes can move easier than my thumbs, so i'd rather glance than have to scroll twice as far

i disagree with empty space usually, but i don't disagree that it would be better filled with, say actionable buttons rather than text that needs to be read

 

used for the cover of vernor vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky"

now to me this looks quite a bit older than 2000; but that's what isfdb says, and who am i to argue?

such a nice shade of blue. i like ships that have a bit more of an interesting palette than silver or white (like the freighters in ftl)

transcript

a flat blue triangular ship with three rear booster engines hovers above a round hole in the earth surrounded by pumping stations. it is attached to a long gantry, across which walk two people

i haven't wanted to spam this place with every "imaginary" lemmysphere; but this will be for announcements related to said "federated network of imaginary communities" - a grandiose name for various "themed art" communities. new imaginary communities will be posted there, as well.

markdown link

there are also some other imaginary communities that haven't been posted here (for the same reason), so i'm collecting them all into this post

 

i love these giant starships within the atmosphere evidencing how large they are

used as the cover of a.e. van vogt's "the secret galactics" and justin leiber's "beyond humanity"; as well as various others
