Thanks, didnt know that I could do that… Anyway, got to creating the git repo [main time spent was in creating a README… :slight_smile: ] URL attached below:

Have fun, and let me know if you run into any issues with getting it working…

Slow to take a look at it - VERY nice readme file with it! One thing, though - the version of conky-cairo is selectable in the PKGBUILD, along with various other parameters. My setup runs conky-cairo with version 1.12.2, no nVidia, and with Audacious support…

Will go test out the setup - and ask if you need anything for getting data into conky.

And back to Plasma… but with a few panel tweaks and customisations to simplify things. Now using Activities for virtual desktops instead of… Virtual Desktops. (Yeah I’m confused too… :wink: )

After learning about Sway on here, I spent a weekend revamping as much as I could to Wayland. I ended up with a pretty nice setup, and also wrote a big Wayland guide for anyone interested in adopting Wayland as much as currently possible. Enjoy!

Nelum_Openbox
Got my old Openbox install (on Ubuntu 20.04 now) on to the FHD laptop. Got a bit of trouble getting the resolution correct with help from Endeavours, which opened some grey cells. Obamenu died for a while, but corrected itself (not yet sure how). There’s one thing, I can’t get to work, though. Fusuma works, so touchpad is doing pretty good.

By the way, using Endeavour icons and part of a theme. :slight_smile:

It replaces the color palette of the image (colorizes) with the Nord theme… Original URL: https://github.com/Schrodinger-Hat/ImageGoNord

You install the image-go-nord package (pip install image-go-nord) and run a script like the below:

Script
from ImageGoNord import NordPaletteFile, GoNord
from PIL import ImageFilter

import argparse
from os import path
from subprocess import run

def main():
  parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
  parser.add_argument('input', help='File to generate image from.')
  parser.add_argument(
      '-s', '--show', help='Show image using xdg-open when image is generated.', action='store_true')
  parser.add_argument(
      '-b', '--blur', help='Blur the image', action='store_true')
  parser.add_argument(
      '--no_quantize', help='Do not quantize the image before processing (may make the image look better)', action='store_true')
  args = parser.parse_args()

  sInputImage = args.input
  sOutputPath = './nordified/' + path.splitext(path.basename(sInputImage))[0] + '-nordified.jpg'

  print(f"Writing nordified version to {sOutputPath}..")

  go_nord = GoNord()

  image = go_nord.open_image(sInputImage)
  if args.blur:
    image = image.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(5))
  
  go_nord.set_default_nord_palette()
  #go_nord.disable_avg_algorithm()
  
  image = go_nord.quantize_image(image, save_path=sOutputPath)
  #go_nord.convert_image(image, save_path=sOutputPath)

  # To base64
  #go_nord.image_to_base64(image, 'jpeg')
  print("Done.")

  if args.show:
    run('xdg-open {}'.format(sOutputPath), shell=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()

Save the above script locally and run it with python <SAVED_SCRIPT_NAME> -s <IMAGE_PATH>. The ‘nordified’ image gets created to a folder named ‘nordified’… (needs the folder to exist)

Mixed results though - sometimes it works brilliantly - sometimes not so much… Try it out on your wallpapers…
[There’s also a utility called ‘image-colorizer’ that colorizes the image with your current palette - say, if you are using Material… …but I couldnt get that to work…]

I intend to post my full .dotfiles by the weekend - I created a nord materia gtk theme, and a collection of dotfiles - for tmux, alacritty, gnome-terminal, sublime text, etc… Will paste the repo URL once I do… (will include the collection of wallpapers that worked well with the nordification… :slight_smile: )
