Turning a Keyboard into a Mouse with Libevdev
And for Windows, my https://github.com/esporttoys/TPMouse was inspired by warpd itself but focuses more on the intuitive usability of direct cursor control via inertia/momentum.

Cosmic Skies of a Colorado July
You may be interested in how I did my Windows script for adding three-finger drag[0].
Basically, it is an independent subscriber to RawInput messages that only keeps track of whether or not to send three-finger drag, and posts emulated mouse messages using SendInput. I have a few other scripts that each run as independent userland processes that only monitors their own trigger and nothing else.
Tangentially, not sure if this might serve for some inspiration, but my TPMouse[1] script implemented inertia in a framerate-independent way so that it uses very little resource while having perfect simulation stability.
A previous discussion where I explained the analytic derivation for this low-resource exact-solution damped inertia can be seen in [10]

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
With the TPMouse script I implemented the activation shortcut as LShift+RShift+ which I felt had a nice balance between deliberateness and easy-to-reach (since you are using it with your hands on homerow).
Though because some keyboards have key rollover issues with using both Shifts, Capslock+ is also allowed as an alternative activation shortcut.

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
I personally use AutoIt a ton as a super fast way to quickly prototype GUIs. It's basically a really simple entrypoint for WinAPI.
Shameless plug: my script for emulating a trackball with your keyboard [0], and my tray app for quickly tweaking your cursor speed (usually for when I'm drawing something)[1]

Wayland breaks your bad software
I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

Hyprland Crash Course
Hyprland builds using a pinned commit of wlroots instead of a tagged release because wlroots release schedule is too slow for Hyprland's development [0]
This turns into a problem for maintainers because many distributions refuse to ship non tagged versions of software
Hyprland used to depend on wlroots-git, but when it made the switch to use specific pinned commits a lot more distributions started to package it [1], but some still refuse to do so such as Debian.

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
I have Hyprland a try some weeks/months ago, and seemingly it had a video memory leak where after some hours of usage, it ended up taking more than 5GB of VRAM, with no signs of slowing down.
I found one issue (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1504) mentioning something similar, but it was closed and I was still experiencing the same issue, so not sure what's going on.
Gnome3 doesn't manifest the same issue, so worth checking out if it happens to you if you're curious about moving from Gnome to Hyprland.

RubyWM – an X11 window manager in pure Ruby
I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious.

Is there any transparent themes for GTK 2 or QT?
I did some research as far as I know there isn't really a way for it to have a transparent window but not transparent text although I found this, basically change the opacity of the window/program. You can also set active and inactive opacity on the window if that's any help.

Regular package vs git package
Therefore I am considering switching to hyprland-nvidia-git, but when I look at its AUR page (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprland-nvidia-git) it says 0.31 as the version, whereas the latest version is 0.32 (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases). I thought the git package would be cutting edge "automatically", but perhaps I'm missing something...?
