#DankMaterialShell

Junkies are Waiting for the Man (cf. Lou Reed).
Not so with @jloc0 and his Niri and DankMaterialShell repos.
The Goodies have landed already đŸ„ł
So: Niri 25.11 and DankMaterialShell 1.0 in full action on Slackware Current.

Scrot of the settings window for DankMaterialShell 1.0 on the Niri windowmanager. And the config file of Niri in an adjacent window of Geany. All on Slackware Current!

#DankMaterialShell v1.0.0 🎉
github.com/AvengeMedia/DankMat

#dms est un shell de bureau wayland, ni plus ni moins. Les gestionnaires de fenĂȘtres en tiling (mais pas que), comme #NIri, #Sway ou encore #Scroll sont fournis nus, traditionnellement c’est Ă  chacun d’assembler et configurer le nĂ©cessaire pour y ajouter barre d’état, dock, fond d’écran, mode nuit, etc. Et c’est lĂ  que dms intervient, en fournissant un tout cohĂ©rent clef en main, configurable graphiquement.

I think this is the happiest I've been with my linux desktop experience ever. #niri #dankMaterialShell

J’ai passĂ© une demi-heure sur une nouvelle possibilitĂ© offerte par #Niri.

Le Alt-tab ? Je verrais plus tardÂč.
La nouvelle gestion de la maximisation des fenĂȘtres ? Que du bonheur sans avoir Ă  rien faire.
Faire glisser une fenĂȘtre pour scroller ? AdoptĂ© au bout d’une minute.
La commande `include` dans le fichier de config ? Oui.
Pour mieux l’organiser ? Pas encore.
Pour laisser un programme externe gĂ©rer une partie de la configuration ? Oui, #DankMaterialShell.

Tendiere zu #mangowc und #dankmaterialshell
Kombi gefÀllt mir aktuell am besten, auch wenn mangowc noch relativ jung ist und einige Features fehlen.

Hat eine Weile gedauert alles einzurichten, daß es passt, aber hat sich gelohnt: auf meinem Heimrechner lĂ€uft nun #mangowc
Sehr gail! Nicht nur daß man ein "richtiges" scratchpad hat und fĂŒr jeden tag ein eigenes Layout zuweisen kann, auch kommt es besser mit java Anwendungen klar. #niri hat hier Probleme:

#quickshell Umgebung #dankmaterialshell ist hier sehr dankbar. Nimmt einem viel "Gegurke" ab, da #dms sehr viele Funktionen bietet. Bei #waybar benötigt man zusÀtzliche Software/configs.

for #slackwareaarch64 I've pushed #firefox 145.0, #libreoffice 25.8.3.2, #hyprland 0.52.1 and related updates for hyprwm, #noctalia-shell 3.0.5, #DankMaterialShell 0.4.3, and a subset of the same updates are making their way to x86_64 #slackaroni as well right now. slackware.lngn.net

Cheking out #DankMaterialShell on #Niri and it's pretty cool, actually! Beats my hamfingered Waybar design by a mile ...

I think I am ready to test #Niri seriously through daily use. I had to rephrase one of my prerequisites: I didn't manage to configure ibus, but I managed to configure fcitx5 to write in Japanese.

Special mention for #DankMaterialShell without which I probably wouldn't have embarked on the adventure.

The combination of the two is full of promise.

Currently looking for a shell (which will save me from spending hours manually configuring all the basic things) to accompany #Niri. I both want to adjust the gamma values (night light mode) and switch to dark theme automatically for the night. #DankMaterialShell (dms) does the first but not the second. #COSMIC does the second but not the first. These are my two main candidates😬.

DankMaterialShell (dms) now offers a copr repository for a simplified installation on Fedora. This could be an opportunity to test #Niri in real use.

Your efforts are only as good as your last scrot.

I don't really know how to use it yet, but I can say this is really nice right out of the box. I need some setup and configuring but this #dankmaterialshell takes #niri to the next level. The smooth animations of the menus from within the bar are awesome. It fits in, blends in, and with more work by myself it'd be quite the spectacle to see.
