  • wm font: Noto Sans Nerd Font
  • icons: Nerd Fonts
  • wallpaper: from gruvbox wallpapers collection
  • statusbar: slstatus
  • statusbar scripts: playerctl, volume, caps/numlock (not featured: battery, brightness)
  • music player: ytfzf
  • dwm patches: tabs in monocle, urgent border, alpha, autostart, bar padding, cursor warp, full gaps, full tag indicator, move stack, netclientliststacking, per tag layouts, restartsig, restore after restart, scratchpad, status2d bar padding systray, window map

What does qutebrowser do? Is it chome/firefox or something other than those two based?

Also fantastic desktop. Looks great.

Its based on webkit, IIRC

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Technically chromium is webkit so not wrong

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Chromium was forked from WebKit but it isn't the same thing. Chromium is Blink.

It would be like saying all browser are KHTML based lol.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 1 points 18 hours ago

Gecko is not KHTML but yes... chromium is blink, but it's still very similar to webkit, there is a reason for the way useragents and CSS selectors are the way they are.

Thank you! It's a Qt, chromium-based browser with keyboard-centric navigation. It's modal, like Vim, and with Vim-like key bindings, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and not have to switch to the mouse and back.

Have you tried Firefox (or a fork) with Tridactyl? I could never truly get into Qutebrowser

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I've tried Tridactyl with librewolf, but it didn't feel as well-integrated. I would have to switch to default hotkeys for certain tabs.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I believe it's a cef (chromium) based Qt browser

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

That's correct, and it has keyboard-based navigation. It's modal, like Vim, and with Vim-like key bindings, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and not have to switch to the mouse and back.

that looks great! Everything works together nicely

Peak desktop🔥

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Thanks. It took me a while, but the status bar icons and text are also conditional (using bash scripts with if/then statements and case statements). I also created separate picom animations for notifications and windows.
