The text editor tutorial for https://iced.rs is great! It really helps to have an overview of the library and serves as a good foundation to understand the examples.
Some screenshots of the progress on the #Baeri desktop! I will probably start a blog and send out weekly blog posts on progress, but for now here are some teasers to sate your appetites!
I just realized, that creating a theme in the #iced toolkit for #rust is really easy. Just create a palette with a few colours and let the rest be done by the toolkit.
I really wished that #gnome would implement something like that for libadwaita - the standard theme doesn't fit in with the most desktops and thats sad, because the apps are great!
As a macOS user, my #Linux journey began with trying to make my DE look & work like #macOS, but with the added features a Linux DE provides - first #GNOME, then #KDE, finally settling on #Cinnamon as my favorite.
Then @thelinuxEXP released his video about bad UX design where he trashed the concept of a menu to launch apps & demonstrated how GNOME’s approach is superior… 🤔
So I just though about the diversity in #desktopenvironments under #linux and structured them by underlaying GUI toolkits and libraries such as #qt, #gtk or #iced
I only included those with core applications (planned) and that are "modern" in a way I understand it.
There are plenty more windows managers and more, especially if you look for tiling types. But I don't see them as fully DEs like KDE or Xfce.
What do you think?
Did I got something wrong?
Did I miss something important?
