GNOME on Reddit

I'm running Debian 12 / Gnome I cannot remove Geary, I have unistalled it through the software center, deleted the files in .config and .shared, and apt-get purge geary, amongst other terminal commands. Nothing has worked yet. However every time I reinstall Geary, the icon appears in the exact position it was on the tray before removal, and all my old accounts are still there. How do I get this thing removed completely off my system so I can do a clean install without any of my old accounts & settings? submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedBid5565 [link] [comments]

How can I change the windows from black to white in light mode? I tried searching it up, but found nothing to help me. (Im using WhiteSur btw) submitted by /u/MaxymanSky [link] [comments]

I came across this mockup of a streamlined overview on the Gnome Gitlab and I really like it! I was wondering if there has been any discussion about this with the Gnome design people and if this is something we can look forward to in a future release?

Hello, I tried Gnome 48 this weekend after a system reinstall, and I’ve been very impressed with it compared to the last time I used it as my daily driver a few years ago. I’m quite happy with it so far, especially after installing a few extensions. That said, there are a couple of areas where I could use advice and recommendations from more experienced users: A more feature-complete screenshot app. I miss Spectacle’s ability to add text, draw arrows, and create selection shapes directly in the app, so I don’t have to use a separate tool for those edits. A way to add split view to the file browser, or a GTK-based alternative that includes this feature. Neither is mandatory, but they’d be nice to have. My question is related to Mutter, I think. Context: I’ve noticed that Mass Effect Legendary Edition starts much more reliably on Gnome than on KDE. It’s one of the worst offenders with its setup: the EA app, a launcher within a launcher, just to pick a game from the trilogy. Gnome manages to launch the EA app successfully 9/10 times, while Plasma only succeeds about 6/10 times. Additionally, with Gnome, the game window spawns in front of the launcher as expected, whereas Plasma spawns it behind. Another unexpected difference: MangoHUD only activates in the game window on Gnome, but on Plasma, it starts in the EA app itself. Am I correct in thinking this is due to differences in how Mutter and KWin handle such scenarios? It’s also interesting that Gnome seems better at distinguishing between a game and an app, as seen with MangoHUD. If anyone has an explanation, I’d love to understand what’s going on.

is there any way to adjust margin of items in the top panel through some extension? submitted by /u/Outrageous_Deer1433 [link] [comments]

What happened to Gnome's Web browser supporting web extensions like Dark Reader etc? I know ti was probably a while back, but the last time i used it I was using extensions for stuff like dark more. Anywho, seeing as I can't seem to add extensions anynmore, does anyone have a decent CSS+Javascript Stylesheet ? I tried pretty hard to get ChatGPT to get the job done, and while it's pretty close, there are some UI elements that could use some tweaking... user-stylesheet.css ``` /* General body styling / body { background-color: #121212; / Dark background / color: #e0e0e0; / Light gray for standard text */ } /* Links styling / a, a:link, a:visited { color: #bb86fc; / Light purple / text-decoration: none; / Remove default underline */ } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; /* Underline on hover */ } /* Input fields and buttons / input, textarea, select, button { background-color: #1e1e1e; / Dark background / color: #ffffff; / White text / border: 1px solid #333333; / Dark border */ } /* Table styles / table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; color: #e0e0e0; / Light gray text */ } th, td { background-color: #1e1e1e; /* Dark background / color: #e0e0e0; / Light gray text / border: 1px solid #333333; / Dark border */ padding: 8px; } /* Code blocks / pre { background-color: #1e1e1e; / Dark background / color: #ffffff; / White text for readability / border: 1px solid #333333; / Dark border / padding: 10px; overflow: auto; / Handle long lines */ } /* Inline code / code { background-color: #2e2e2e; / Slightly lighter background for inline code / color: #ffffff; / White text / padding: 2px 4px; / Padding for better visuals / border-radius: 3px; / Rounded corners */ } /* Blockquotes / blockquote { background-color: #1e1e1e; / Dark background / border-left: 4px solid #bb86fc; / Light purple border / color: #e0e0e0; / Light gray text */ padding: 10px; } /* Headings / h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { color: #ffffff; / White for all headers to ensure readability */ } /* Paragraphs and list items / p, li { color: #e0e0e0; / Light gray for standard text */ } /* Strong and emphasized text / strong, b { color: #ffffff; / White for bold text */ } em, i { color: #bb86fc; /* Light purple for emphasized text */ } /* Focus states / *:focus { outline: 2px solid #bb86fc; / Highlight on focus */ } /* Scrollbars for Dark theme */ ::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 10px; } ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { background: #333; /* Dark scrollbar */ } ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover { background: #555;

I cannot find any solarized dark gtk theme suitable for gnome 46+. I am currently on nixos and the only packaged themes with solarized dark are discontinued, the only alternative would be stylix, which i don't want to use. If anyone knows a good solarized dark gtk theme would be really helpful submitted by /u/neoSnakex34 [link] [comments]

The application search that shows up when you press super is showing up on the wrong monitor after a recent move. How do I change which screen this shows up on? It's not tied to the primary monitor at all and when I try to look it up all I get are people trying to fix the login screen which isn't what I want. submitted by /u/TheSpoopyGhost [link] [comments]

Hi guys, I’m using fedora 41 with gnome 47. I connected the PC to the TV via HDMI and I’d like to control it from the couch using my iPhone, so I can have a remote keyboard and mouse. Thanks. submitted by /u/smule98_1 [link] [comments]

I know this is somewhat subjective, please don't just say "why do you want to do that" or similar comments. Here is an example of what I mean: https://i.ibb.co/CKgvJjm1/screenshot-734a76ce-61e5-4c73-a727-5c84e40739d9.png The window on the left is acceptable, could still be a bit denser but I'm not complaining. However, the right window fits 8 lines on this entire screen (large 3000x2000 monitor). Has anyone found a solution to reduce padding? Can you create a custom theme? Or is the padding hard-coded? I tried using GTK_THEME env var with my GTK3 theme but the padding did not change. This is explicitly only a GTK4 problem, in GTK3 the padding is reasonable. Also, I am not using GNOME DE, just some GTK4 apps. submitted by /u/matt-3 [link] [comments]

Is there some setting that could be changed/tweaked to make this smooth? Working with apps that have multiple windows is almost unusable, things freeze for 5 seconds while one window is occluded. KDE does not suffer from this problem submitted by /u/gokily [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I forked undecorate extension to be able to make the option for each window persistent and allow to whitelist specific windows. Here's the link of my fork. this is best for those gnome ricer’s Feel free to post issues if there are any... and also give the repo a star, if you want... please star TvT submitted by /u/dexterkun16 [link] [comments]

Since I couldn't find a theme to make Joplin fit better into the GNOME ecosystem I decided to give it a try myself. After using other themes as a base and reading the Adwaita documentation for styles, trying to manually copy the style with my own CSS, this is how it's looking so far. What do you think? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! https://preview.redd.it/xesoh0v8g9te1.png?width=1156&format=png&auto=webp&s=06a83554f8de4bc2b9c4b47352fa2b582c6bfbc4 https://github.com/ivfrost/joplin-adwaita-theme submitted by /u/WideAdeptness6341 [link] [comments]

I am using GNOME 46 on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS x86_64. To apply the effects of the GNOME extension Blur My Shell on Rofi, I have added Rofi to the white-listed applications. But it didn't affect Rofi unless I use rofi -show drun -normal-window. Now, due to the normal-window mode and another extension Window title is back, Rofi also shows up with an icon on the top bar, but with a question mark on it! How do I remove this question mark? Or is there any better way to resolve it? https://preview.redd.it/wdd340g8jsse1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=87d0f70f9abaf9b00991efa21bf2f3fa45decefa submitted by /u/rafisics [link] [comments]

Currently when we use move-to-workspace-2 to move a window to workspace 2, the window is moved to workspace 2 and so it the focus. Is possible to move the window to workspace 2 staying the current workspace? submitted by /u/pipewire [link] [comments]
