Cawnonical Icons 1.3 - Lemmy.World
>Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite: a complete, system-wide icon theme featuring
clean, monotone glyph-style vector icons that can be changed to any colour
system wide. [https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/] https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/
[https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/] It has been about two months since I
completed my icon pack project “Cawnonical” and shared it here. Since then, I
have received some amazing feedback that has made it all worth it, plus using my
own icon pack (which is why I even made it) has been so satisfying. I can
confirm as a daily user that it is the best icon suite (I might be just a bit
biased). Today, my icon pack is now at version 1.3. Each iteration, I’ve been
adding about 100 new app icons and fixing things. *In this version, I have added
over 300 symlinks for app ID’s to make my icon pack auto-apply better. *
Finishing Cawnonical 1.3, I feel my icon pack is now mature enough to share it
again with the community here. If you saw my post a while back but found my icon
pack was missing stuff, check again. Since I have always been making icons as a
hobby, I will probably be making iterative updates on Cawnonical into my grave.
Also I do take icon requests on the icon suite’s GitHub page:

Cawnonical: a new full system material icon theme that completely adapts to your accent colour

Cawnonical: a new full system material icon theme that completely adapts to your accent colour - Lemmy.World
[Reposted because I got the title wrong] So as the title explains, while this
theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match
your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours
because I could). I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I
made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important). I’ve also made a
bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the
settings icons. All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and
have been simplified to load faster. I hope you all enjoy it. I will be
regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show
up in updates.

Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite, a new system icon theme - Lemmy.World
For the last month I’ve been grinding away making a new icon set. It started as
just a folder set, but got out of control when I noticed that wouldn’t be
enough. Now after hundreds of hours of work, I’m ready to introduce the first
version (which I plan to periodically update every month or so). Theme
description: This icon suite is a system-wide set of icons based on the Material
Design icons from Google, and inspired by Breeze by KDE. This theme (“accented”
version) dynamically changes all your system icons with your user set accent
colour. “Text-fill” uses your current theme’s text colour. Unlike similar
themes, Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite brings universally accessible coloured
glyph icons to all facets of the Linux desktop. There are over a thousand newly
crafted icons, as well as the entire Google Material icons set, and the entire
Google Noto emoji set for extra options. In total this around 10,000 unique
glyphs.

Making a breeze scale system icon theme, want to reach as many people as I can

Making a breeze scale system icon theme, want to reach as many people as I can - Lemmy.World
So for the better part of the month I’ve been nose glued to my laptab working a
custom icon set. It started as just some custom folders… but ended up becoming
me redoing the entire breeze theme. I’m talking thousands of icons. I based the
theme on the google material design as I haven’t seen a proper full system
theming for that, and for accessibility reasons alone I think it needs to exist…
but I mainly wanted to do it like that so I can have EVERYTHING change with the
system accent colour. So after likely over a hundred (hundreds of?) hours, I’m
reaching the finish line. Anyway for selfish and selfless reasons I want to be
able to have my theme reach as many people as possible. Some people in my life
have suggested I contact some Linux news sites, but that feels a bit much, I
don’t know. Any ideas? Oh yah it’s free of course.

Steam Link or Moonlight? - Lemmy.World
I’ve recently noticed Steam Link seems to provide an actual better gaming
connection now than using moonlight. The connection seems much more stable, and
has a far lower latency. I personally have a very good home network so I should
be comparing them both in good working order. Is this something anyone else has
noticed? Has this been a thing for a while?
Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing.

Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing. - Lemmy.World
I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched
back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big
picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the
steam machine vaporware days. Additionally the ease of use of using Linux vs
windows for gaming has gotten me to start using my pc for local coop a lot more.
I’ve had so much more success using multiple controllers with Linux than
windows. My biggest worry, like anyone’s, was that I would feel limited by the
games I can play. I’ve honestly started to try even more games since I’ve had
better experiences with switch emulators on Linux (Yuzu my baby). Sometimes a
newer game won’t let me use the latest version of DLSS my GPU supports but that
doesn’t make a game unplayable, I just don’t get max graphics/ performance. The
only game I can’t play is rocket league. But I can only blame Epic for actively
breaking the game on Linux.
Near-Future file type concept "Digital Memory"

Near-Future file type concept "Digital Memory" - Lemmy.World
This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit. There is a ton of media that
includes unimportant information that doesn’t need to be stored pixel perfect.
Storing large portions of the image data as text will save substantial amounts
of storage, and as the reality of on-device image generation becoming
commonplace sets in digital memories will become the main way people capture the
world around them. I think this will inevitably be the next form of media
capture (photography and video), not replacing other methods/ formats, but I
could see things like phone cameras having saving images as digital memories set
to default to save on storage.
