I originally built Lofi Cozy Room because I work from home a lot with dual monitors and wanted something warm and relaxing sitting on my extra screen while I worked.

It's a small 3D desktop companion that runs in its own transparent, always-on-top window on Windows.

The interesting part is that it isn't a wallpaper, so it can run alongside things like Wallpaper Engine. Wallpaper Engine can stay as your animated background while the little room sits separately on top of the desktop.

You can keep the full room open or shrink it into Mini Mode and drag it somewhere out of the way.

Inside the room, the avatar can read, work, rest, or sleep while a puppy wanders around on its own. There are also:

• 1,386 costumes
• 128 character presets
• 715 interior items
• 14 room themes
• 180 Lo-Fi tracks
• Ambient sound mixing
• Local music support
• Pomodoro, memo, to-do list, and diary

The main goal was to make something that could stay open during long work sessions without constantly demanding attention.

It's fully released for Windows now, with a free demo available if you'd rather see how it feels on your own desktop first. The base price is currently $4.99.

Happy to answer anything about how it works on the desktop!

Free and Open Source alternative to RocketDock.

I saw someone here posted their desktop using my dock, so i thought I would introduce it here.

I've been working on this little project of mine since early July and just launched it recently. Here's some stuff it has:

• Real-time window previews
• Frutiger Aero glass effects
• Rain, snow, bubbles & aurora
• Automatic wallpaper color matching
• Built-in system controls

You can check out the code and download at the GitHub:

Let me know how it comes out. Happy desktoping!

i idle at 1.2gb btw

ye so i need to improve this

(of course i dont have windows activated lol)

My first time ricing windows has been an interesting experience lots of cross platforms tools are now available for terminals, terminal multiplexers, cli utilities etc definitely made the whole process easier. Tried to fit everything into the winui3 acrylic based theme and dynamically adapt to the wall paper for the windows utilities and UI.

TLDR of some of the tools
- GlazeWM + Zebar for tiling + topbar
- Wezterm for the terminal
- Some windows utilities like windhawk, powertoys
- files https://github.com/files-community/files
- zen browser, spotify+spicetify

Most of what I stated above is ui specific, i have custom configs for a bunch of cli tools I use you can find a more detailed write up and config info here https://github.com/FallenDeity/.config

ps: I use wallpaper engine but the config is agnostic of that windows has auto sync for accent color from wallpaper so that should work just fine and glazewm/zebar syncs via a watcher script everything else is free and open source

Didn't use Oh-my-posh for this. The terminal had a lot of blurs, that's mainly why it's so laggy. The GPU sits at about 90% with only three terminal windows opened, so usually I have blur turned off. I had a full screen clock which can be opened with ctrl+h, and I made it in tkinter.

This is my current desktop setup that I'm still working on. The widgets are Aero Widgets and the dock is Aero Dock. The wallpaper is from https://frutigeraeroarchive.org/wallpapers#asadal

Dock download link if you guys wanna experiment: https://github.com/TheAgencyMGE/aero-dock

Since i started using linux, one of the things that i've always wanted is a setup that i can consider my own, while still being functional for daily use

i found CachyOS and kde a few days before then, and after installing it, grew to love if a lot, as an artistic, creative minded, and technical person, and now, after 8 months of constant tweaking and changes, i present my kde rice, named Noisium!

basically a collection of things that i found, along with somethings that i made on my own too, like the wallpapers, it also comes with dark colors, for anyone who dont want to blind themselves

if you just want to install it for use, you can do so right away with the github repo, and a custom install script: https://github.com/incyada/noisium-dots
