it saw another windows aero theme for kde. that's cute but it thinks gnome also deserves some love too
anyways here's a gnome desktop composited by the real aero dwm.exe from win7

SYN @49016 49016 breaking software was bad, but somehow 49016 creating software is even worse. please continue!

- firefox and vscode are rendered by gnome
- the start menu and gadgets are rendered by dwm, and then composited by gnome
- ghostty, which literally goes above and beyond the gadgets (which you cannot do by just streaming one compositor to the other), is rendered by gnome
- and the cherry on top is gnome-control-center, which exclusively runs in gnome sessions, being managed by gnome, rendered by dwm, and composited by gnome again
this is powered by about 7 layers of duct tape and a couple hundred lines of the worst C the world has ever seen

@49016 You can run gnome-control-center by setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME

@49016 how the hell?
@49016 you mean that’s not just a theme? You got the actual Windows 7 WM running under e.g. Wine to do this?

@49016 this is cursed, but also it's an impressive hack. how the fuck??
-
damn fedi really liked gnome being composited by win7 aero dwm. thats cute but it thinks gnome should also be allowed to do some compositing
anyways heres win7 aero dwm being composited by gnome

faq:
- i want this: no you do not this is horribly hacky and looking at it the wrong way (or long enough) breaks it
- why: the consequences of giving it free will
- how: will probably write something about this soonTM but irl stuff is getting in the way and this is hella complicated lol
- will this break when gnome finally deprecates x11: yes, and that is a good thing holy fuck this is so cursed
