Good stuff! COSMIC is one of the major tech releases I'm actively looking forward to this year!

Really exciting to see all the new fixes and developments! The release of Cosmic is one of the most exciting things in store for me this year!

I'd recommend everyone to try out cosmic-store (with cosmic-icons) when they get a chance. Whether you use COSMIC or not, it's fully functional with any desktop environment. It's packaged by default in Pop!_OS 22.04, available in Fedora 40 via ryanabx/cosmic-epoch, and the AUR.

Really great. But I would love that the "edit rounded corners" would not apply to the workspace number circle and to the switches, as it makes no sense.

I think it just needs a little polishing. They look a bid odd in those places for now.

No interface has squares everywhere. I think this type of switch is VERY established.

My thing with squares, in some places or everywhere, but I is that they are not visually welcoming, in my very personal opinion of course. Curves look "safer" so to speak.

I've seen plenty of people using GTK themes with rectangular switches.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Interesting!

I personally think slightly rounded and normal round is the best. But the default is fine for me.

I think you are doing really great work! Even though I would have used KDE as design reference but we all are different.

Metro UI toggle buttons were rectangular though.

I'm so excited for Cosmic!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
