question for free software maintainers

how do you go on holidays?? I'm at the point where I get 20-25 GitHub emails per day (issues, PRs, discussions, replies). I'm scared to think what I will come back to if I leave for a week or two

@nikitonsky google called, wants their 17th blue accent back

@BrodieOnLinux @zstg lol i actually was about to write that since you used the X11 version for global hotkeys purposes, maybe you disabled the Wayland permission for the OBS flatpak

@BrodieOnLinux not sure what the issue is in your case, but if it opens then crashes, try giving it an Xwayland DISPLAY. There's a known problem with CEF, that the browser source requires a DISPLAY even on Wayland, and will crash OBS otherwise

you know google, i use en_US specifically to avoid thi
s

Is there some easy way to build a live ISO that's more or less Fedora Workstation but with a few extra packages from a COPR? Want it for easy testing on different devices

#fedora #linux #silverblue

today's progress: wheel scrolling up and down, right click to scroll left and right, click on workspace to focus, some keyboard fixes

this is all mouse-only on the video. only currently using a 3rd-party tool for the hot corner (waycorner), i'll integrate that later

#niri

started working on an Overview for niri. very wip, lots to do, got some basic rendering and dragging working though

#niri

today I opened a draft PR for the Overview, and request everyone to test it and report issues: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/1440

also, today's new overview feature: drag-and-drop into a new workspace between/above/below!

#niri

this is a completely normal screenshot. nothing unusual here

Looking for testing and feedback for server-side shadows: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/990

#niri

Why would you even want tabs in niri? Occasionally it's quite useful. For example, when streaming programming, I increase the font size, so I can no longer fit editor + terminal on the screen at once. Scrolling back and forth gets annoying, and tabs feel just right for this.

I'm adding tabs to niri. Instead of some separate mode, they're just changing how a column is displayed. This means all your hotkeys and everything works exactly the same with tabs. Which was a wonderful UX idea by @elkowar!

I've got a draft PR going with some design and UX questions, please feel free to try it and give feedback: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/1085

#niri

Added shadow support for layer-shell surfaces!

Though unfortunately layer-shell has no way to signal the visual geometry, so this only looks right if the layer surface doesn't have its own margins.

ppl from our niri matrix playing around with the new compositor-side shadows! These screenshots are from @r4hulrosh4n and calops (no fedi)

#niri

I merged tabbed columns into niri! Now you can play around with them using your nearest niri-git package. With working animations and all :ablobcatbongo:

Noticed tabs can sometimes be useful for comparing windows without taking screenshots. Here for example I'm running the Adw demo from F41 vs. nightly Flathub, showing the slight color difference and apparently a 1 px layout shift.

#niri

A ton of changes in the tabs PR over the past few days. Mainly various options (tabbed display by default, tab indicator position, etc.).

Just finished with a big one: you can now place the tab indicator within the column rather than "outside". This is needed for thicker tab bars, since otherwise they overlap adjacent windows.

#niri

We just hit 5000 stars! 🎉

#niri

You can now (finally) customize the important hotkeys list: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Configuration:-Key-Bindings#custom-hotkey-overlay-titles

#niri

Another cool suggestion by @elkowar: you can now match windows recorded by an active window screencast. For example, to highlight the casted window with a different color.
