    MacOS Big Sur like theme for Gnome desktops

  • I have written https://taoofmac.com for the last 20 years, and have spent the last year progressively using GNOME and Fedora more and more.

    I use the WhiteSur GTK theme (https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) so that I don't have to decipher the nuances of the standard GNOME iconography (some of it is... well, not as pretty, and definitely not as intuitive).

    I love this setup, but if GNOME decides to keep breaking user themes, I will have to look elsewhere (most likely a different Fedora spin, although definitely not KDE).

  • Rectangle

    Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

  • Not optimal but should be able to option+hover on the green circle.

    There is rectangle, which has nice keyboard shortcuts, but it is a 3rd party addon.

  • > it supports my keystrokes

    You know that there is basically a standard set, imposed by Windows in about 1986 or something and also supported in GNOME 2, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc etc.? I am more interested in if it supports them. I mean, I don't know what your set are, and I am not for a moment saying there's anything wrong with them, but there are standards for this stuff, used heavily by millions of blind computer users for example.

    > Have you considered the possibility you are so set in your ways that you are neglecting new and useful tool?

    Could be. I am a professional assessor of, and commentator on, this stuff, though.

    I mainly use a desktop I switched to in 2011. :-) Before that, I changed in 2004, after a change in 2001, after a change in 1995, after a change in 1992, after one in 1989, etc. etc.

    I mean I am an old pharte, fair call, but I am a reasonably adaptable one, I think. :-D

    What is "fzy"?

    > Then make the panel vertical instead of horizontal

    Why don't any of the screenshots show that, then?

    I see 6 horizontal panels in the screenies on the homepage and Github, and one with none. From that, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude this is not a core feature or something.
