I thought Nautilus just follows whatever your GTK theme is? I’m not super knowledgable though. Noctalia has a “Templates” section in their settings that lets you choose to match certain applications to your noctalia theme, which is what I’ve used to get nautilus to these colors.

nice! is that the old dwarf fortress world map graphics on your banner?

I wasn’t aware of this policy. thanks for sharing!

yeah my Sable client just doesn’t show that. Though it shows that star icon as “Steal Sticker” in the right click menu. Not the same as favoriting.

I wasn’t aware Sable had mobile clients, but it seems like it’s only available on sideloaded app stores on iOS. Automatically a dealbreaker for any friends/family that has an iPhone probably. I’m not in the EU so it looks like they’d need to go through a whole process of installing something on their PC and using a VPN on their phone just to get the app store…

As far as Matrix clients in the Apple app store go, I’m only aware of Element X and Fluffychat, and since Element X didn’t support custom emotes/stickers when I last checked, that leaves Fluffychat as their only option for a mobile app. (Please don’t try and suggest web apps, no one wants to actually use those)

The main dev has maintained that Fluxer is not vibe coded. Whether or not they’re completely AI-free though, I’m unsure of. But at the very least they didn’t just ask Claude “give me a discord like chat app” and then shove that onto the internet.

pretty! though it makes me feel like I need to put my glasses on, lol

I do personally use Sable and Matrix to chat with some of my friends. I think it’s really cool. However, I don’t think it’s user friendly enough for mass adoption. There’s so many clients but none of them provide an ideal experience.

I send a voice message from sable to my friend using fluffychat on mobile? they can’t listen to it.

I try and call my friend through sable? their mic/camera doesn’t work and my screen share is a black screen.

No client I’ve seen allows you to favorite emotes or stickers

As far as I’m aware mobile clients simply don’t support calling

Videos just don’t play on my sable desktop client.

Maybe there’s solutions to these issues, but if each new user is expected to troubleshoot things like this, Matrix is never going to become widely used. I’m excited for Fluxer because it seems like it could really become the frictionless experience that Matrix isn’t

Kate! I also mention it in the alt text for the image.

I pretty much just fresh installed CachyOS, choosing Niri on install. I’ve installed a few Gnome apps like their disk manager, but this is full-on Niri (as far as my knowledge goes— which isn’t very far tbf)

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it seems really great. it’s nice seeing actual progress and improvements in the mobile app. The glacial speed of Stoat had me pessimistic that anything could replace discord, but Fluxer’s honestly already there. The screen sharing and video calling just needs some work (and also federation!)

I hadn’t heard of artist trading cards before, but that seems really cool! the watercolor is so pretty I want to take a bite out of it

this is really pretty!
