    https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/commit/b5f9118...

  3. Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

    Windows Terminal has a neat shader thing that you can use to add things like noise and scanlines to your terminals.

    I wish all desktop windows could have shaders applied.

    I'm trying to convince myself to write one for a curved CRT look and one for phosphor persistence.

    The Windows Terminal team has a lot more fun than the others, it seems.

  4. gitmoji

    An emoji guide for your commit messages. 😜

    Interestingly, this diverges from the more common gitmoji rules: https://gitmoji.dev/

  5. compiz-windows-effect

    Compiz wobbly windows effect for GNOME Shell

    Just found this! This thread has really let me compiz out my Gnome, between the flames and wobbly windows!

  6. appstagram

    Sweet filters for your desktop apps.

    A while back I made a goofy app called Appstagram that applied Instagram-like filters to the windows of your desktop applications (https://github.com/aleffert/appstagram), but Apple continually made it more difficult to inject code into every process (even after having been granted permissions by the user) and I eventually gave up.

  7. wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

  8. refterm

    Reference monospace terminal renderer

    After that post they did implement a full reference implementation:

    https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/commits/main

    And there is movement in getting changes into the terminal itself:
