asusctl-gui is a native GTK4/libadwaita front end for asusctl, the daemon that controls ASUS ROG laptop hardware on Linux. The goal is that everyday laptop settings feel like part of GNOME. Aura: keyboard brightness, lighting mode and color Power: power profile, separate profiles for AC and battery, charge limit presets GPU: switch between Integrated, Hybrid and Ultimate Slash: the LED bar on the lid, on models that have one System: boot sound About: model, BIOS, and whether asusctl, asusd and the asus-armoury driver are working It uses standard libadwaita widgets with an adaptive sidebar, follows the system light/dark style, and can open with the ROG key through a GNOME custom shortcut. Written in Rust. Requires asusctl 6.4.0 or newer (you have to install that yourself). Right now it ships as a Flatpak bundle on the GitHub releases page. Flathub may not accept it, because the app relies on tools installed on the host (asusctl), so I’m still looking into the best way to publish it. The name is open to change, if you have a better one, tell me. (Please). How I used LLMs: most of the code was written with Claude Code. I decide what gets built and how it should work, review every change, test each feature on my own laptop (ROG Zephyrus G14 2024) before it’s merged, and maintain the project. Development started in December 2025; the first release was in June 2026. GitHub: https://github.com/Bl4ckspell7/asusctl-gui Not affiliated with ASUS. (I originally started development, because I wanted to manage the Slash lighting bar, which rog-control-center didnt offer at that time. rog-control-center also uses some custom ui (which i dont like), but it has more features). submitted by /u/Bl4ckspell_ [link] [comments]

I'm using Ubuntu 26.04 , and I've noticed a weird issue with Google Chrome. When I have two windows side by side using split screen (Chrome on either the left or right), switching between windows using Alt + Tab seems to make the Chrome window slightly bigger each time. If I repeat this several times, the window gradually grows in size and eventually becomes noticeably larger than its original split-screen size. this happens only with Google Chrome. Other applications seem to work fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known GNOME or Chrome issue, or is there a workaround? submitted by /u/Independent_Wear_991 [link] [comments]

Inspired by awww and Burn My Windows, I created Ripple, an extension that brings smooth, shader-based animations to your desktop. Currently, Ripple supports wallpaper transitions, popups and menus, and lock screen animations. I plan to expand support to other parts of GNOME Shell, such as windows, the overview and other UI elements. Of course that depends on what's technically possible and if there is a demand. The extension comes with 10 default effects, but the coolest part is that you can create and share your own effects! There is a built-in editor with live preview so experiment as much as you like. Each effect is saved as a single .ripple file, making it easy to import and share effects on the fly without any additional configuration. You can find the documentation on syntax in README. Also I've already created a dedicated repository if you want to download more effects or share yours! Ripple is already available on GNOME Extensions so you can easily download and give it a try. No external dependencies needed, you only need compatible GNOME version (46 or higher). The project is in early stage of development so if you find any bugs or if you have ideas or suggestions feel free to create an issue on github page or leave a comment here. I'd love yo receive some feedback!

Is there a built-in way or do I need an app/extension? I have the latest version submitted by /u/Correct-Injury-7360 [link] [comments]

Hey! I'm currently using Zorin OS with GNOME 46. I've installed the HyperGNOME extension for window tiling, but I'm wondering if there are any better alternatives. Thx for your help submitted by /u/Wenix0602 [link] [comments]

I wanted my Android phone as a second monitor on Linux. Most tools I tried mirrored the screen into a browser tab or only worked over USB, so I built my own over the last few months Repo: https://github.com/saharshbaiju/tandem It's free and open source. If you try it, tell me how the lag feels on your setup and what breaks. If you like it, star the repo ⭐ and share it with someone who'd use a second screen. It helps more people find it. submitted by /u/titansb-_- [link] [comments]

I wanted my Android phone as a second monitor on Linux. Most tools I tried mirrored the screen into a browser tab or only worked over USB, so I built my own over the last few months. Tandem adds a real virtual monitor to your desktop. The GPU encodes it as H.264 and the phone decodes it in hardware, so you drag windows onto the phone like any other screen. - About 30 ms of lag over USB tethering, 30 to 60 ms over Wi-Fi (you barely notice it in use) - Hyprland and GNOME on Wayland, with one-command install on Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora - Encrypted, paired with a QR code Check it out here: https://saharshbaiju.github.io/tandem/ Repo: https://github.com/saharshbaiju/tandem It's free and open source.

Last month I made a post asking help mapping apps. Thanks to everyone who sent shortcuts and JustPerfection for reviewing it. It's now available for everyone to download. you can install it here how it works: The app's own menu. If the app exports its menu over d-bus (GTK apps, and KDE/Qt apps with dbusmenu), the bar shows that exact menu A shortcut menu. If the app exports nothing, the extension loads a menu built from that app's documented keyboard shortcuts. Clicking an item sends the key combo to the window. This is how Electron apps (VS Code, Discord, Obsidian) get menus on Wayland. 290 apps are covered. A generic menu. If the app is in neither group, you still get a basic File / Edit / Go / Window / System menu with common actions: copy, paste, undo, close window, snap left or right, screenshots, switch workspace, lock screen. The app-name menu adds New Window and Quit. Works on GNOME 48 to 51 If your app is missing, create an issue at https://github.com/Unmade760/orbit-global-menu/issues with the keyboard mappings. and if you want to support it, a star on GitHub or a rating on EGO helps! :) submitted by /u/unmade7 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I've installed Bazaar as a system-wide Flatpak (--system). I can see my already-installed user-level Flatpak apps, but when I try to install a new app, Bazaar doesn't ask me which installation I want to use and doesn't let me install it as --user. submitted by /u/Due-Fault5064 [link] [comments]

Disclaimer: not a commercial product. I'm mostly posting this to find out if I'm the only dumbfuck who wants these metrics right in the Ubuntu taskbar :D I've been a dev for 15+ years and never had the time or nerves to build something like this, so yeah, most of it was written by Claude. I just kept telling it what bugged me. Several times a day I SSH into one of my 10+ servers just to check on deploys, tests and CI, and whether they're done yet. Now it's one glance at the panel. No Hetzner console, no Beszel, no monitoring tabs just to see CPU, RAM, disk or which app is stuck. From the menu I can open an SSH tunnel to a containerized Mongo or Postgres DB (Mongo opens straight in Compass, the rest copies the connection string). I can also copy an app's config as .env, diff staging vs prod, and see all apps with their domains, TLS certs and whether each site responds. Most of the time it just shuts up: grey icon until something breaks, deploys or runs in CI. If something stays red for a minute, I get a notification. Next to it there's a small Claude Code one: working or waiting, how much of the 5h limit is left, and how much CPU/RAM it's eating. It's read-only (except a restart behind a confirm dialog, and the tunnels), and tokens stay in the GNOME keyring. Right now it's built around my setup (GNOME 46 on X11, Hetzner + Beszel + dokku, GitHub Actions). If there's interest, I'd turn it into a proper package (extensions.gnome.org or .deb) with a settings page and support for other stacks (Prometheus, Coolify, Docker, GitLab CI…). So lmk: would you actually use it? what's your stack? or am I reinventing the wheel? Roast it! submitted by /u/wassupkayak [link] [comments]

I am extremely proud of this. Have been spending the past few months working on this when I can. IMO its one of the best non-cli rippers on Linux. I started out with some code but found cursor to be extremely helpful and fun to use. I don't consider this slop; it's a tool that's very intentional and I use this exclusively first and foremost. If anyone is looking for a CD ripper try it out and let me know what you think! submitted by /u/joeygnosis [link] [comments]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a proposal for a default GNOME clipboard manager. Thanks for all the comments! Back then it was mostly a concept, so I built it. The video shows what it does today. The clipboard is built as a GNOME Quick Setting, so it's very convenient to switch on and off. When you copy something, the top-bar icon blinks. Clicking the icon opens Quick Settings with the clipboard already expanded. Super+V opens your history right at the text cursor: type to filter, press Enter, and it's inserted into the app. Passwords are masked, never saved and removed after a while. Images and files work too, and so does the primary selection if you want it. If you use Drop to Shell, the same icon opens Glean in the side pane, which stays open while you work. One catch: GNOME already uses Super+V for the notification list, and GNOME wins that conflict. To use it for Glean, move GNOME's shortcut first: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings toggle-message-tray "['<Super>m']" The code is here: https://gitlab.com/gunwald/glean Please give me feedback! EDIT: You can install it with: curl -LO https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gunwald%2Fglean/packages/generic/glean/main/glean@gunwald.gitlab.com.shell-extension.zip gnome-extensions install --force glean@gunwald.gitlab.com.shell-extension.zipcurl -LO https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gunwald%2Fglean/packages/generic/glean/main/glean@gunwald.gitlab.com.shell-extension.zip gnome-extensions install --force glean@gunwald.gitlab.com.shell-extension.zip Will take quite some time till it might be available on extensions.gnome.org submitted by /u/adiuto [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! Currently, there are no window-rounding extensions working on GNOME 51. I built Rounded Window Corners Native to get proper rounded corners without the legacy hacks. Unlike older ones, it doesn't patch any shell methods so it won't break your overview, workspace switching, or tiling extensions. It uses a shader effect per window to match libadwaita exactly on non-native apps (GTK3, Qt, Electron, Java, and all). It is also finally compatible with Blur My Shell with their latest release. I'm keeping it simple for now to perfectly mirror native libadwaita, but I'm planning to add more configuration options in future updates.

Hello, im on debian 13, gnome 48.7. I installed yesterday the new version of blur my shell (v.77) and its doesn't work anymore. However, the extension shows no error message—nothing at all—and it is definitely enabled. I’ve restarted my system and logged out and back in many times, but it hasn’t made any difference.

Hey everyone! I'm curious about GNOME's decision not to support the XDG decoration protocol on Wayland. Is this mainly a design choice, a technical limitation, or a deliberate decision to handle window decorations differently from other Wayland compositors? I've also noticed that some applications with weird window decorations, such as Spotify, seem to use correct window decorations when running through XWayland. Did GNOME support server-side decorations under X11 and later dropped it in Wayland session? I'm not criticizing GNOME I'm genuinely curious about the reason as to why they don't implement this procotol! submitted by /u/Due-Fault5064 [link] [comments]

Flathub: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.word_sys.word-sys-pdf-editor & GitHub: https://github.com/word-sys/word-sys-pdf-editor I've been working on a native Linux PDF editor built with GTK4 and Libadwaita. The goal was to have one offline tool that actually does the stuff people usually boot into a Windows VM or buy MasterPDF/Acrobat for. A lot of the recent features came directly from people opening issues on GitHub (like infinite scrolling, PEP-517 build support, and Flatpak packaging). Right now it, with v1.12 updates, supports direct text/object editing, creating and filling forms, PAdES digital signatures (including smart cards/hardware tokens via PKCS#11), permanent redaction, offline Tesseract OCR, measurement tools, and offline conversion to office formats and more. The full feature list and packages (.deb, AppImage) are on the GitHub page, so I won't paste a massive wall of text here. I want to figure out what is still rough or missing. If you have a moment to try it out from Flathub or GitHub: What breaks on your setup or with your specific PDFs? What is the one PDF feature you still miss on Linux? What is the rough/hard to use parts of this project? Bug reports, PRs, and feature requests on GitHub (or just complaining in the comments here) are all super helpful. I will continue to develop this project. Thanks! submitted by /u/word-sys [link] [comments]

¡Hola a todos! Quería compartirles una versión modificada y optimizada en la que estuve trabajando recientemente para la extensión MacOs-CC-Gnome. Primero que nada, todo el crédito y los agradecimientos van al repositorio original creado por Keyunge (enlace al repositorio original). Este proyecto es un fork de su excelente trabajo. En esta versión personalizada (enlace repositorio), me enfoqué en pulir varios detalles visuales y funcionales para mejorar la experiencia en general: ajusté la simetría de los elementos y perfeccioné el comportamiento del panel flotante y sus componentes estéticos para que se sientan mucho más integrados en el escritorio. ¿Qué hay de nuevo en esta versión? * Ajustes en profundidad a la estructura de estilo para corregir problemas de renderizado. * Más cohesión visual y proporciones simétricas en los íconos del panel. * Mejor estabilidad general en la gestión del diseño flotante. Próximamente (En camino): * Nuevas opciones avanzadas de personalización directamente desde un menú dedicado. * Optimización del rendimiento para reducir el consumo de recursos en GNOME Shell. * Más funciones interactivas inspiradas en la experiencia de diseño que muchos buscan replicar. Me encantaría escuchar sus opiniones, probarla en sus escritorios y recibir cualquier sugerencia o reporte de bugs que puedan tener. Pueden revisar el código, clonarlo o dejar sus comentarios en el repositorio de GitHub. ¡Muchas gracias por su apoyo y que disfruten personalizando! submitted by /u/Designer-Style147 [link] [comments]
