@toothpaste_sandwich On my phone I have several Wii sound effects for different notifications. Messages & emails have the Wii Message Board "new mail" sound, important notifications have the "update complete" & "copy data complete" sounds, bad notifications have the "failed to read disk" sound, & other notifications have the Wii menu click sound. The UI still has no sounds at all though because Android launchers never have sounds :(

@toothpaste_sandwich Right now I just have the KDE Oxygen sounds because I haven't set up any custom sounds since I'm not sure how to yet. I really liked the Wii & Wii U sound design though; they did alot of the work making the console fun even outside of playing games, even things like changing system settings & hearing the clicks & scrolling sounds. I would love to have a computer with similarly complex & fun sound design.

@Sunsofold Oh ok! I'm pretty sure that's another widget, but I forgot what it's called. The menu bar can be hidden by setting a window rule, then you can add the widget to the desktop or a panel.

@Soapbox1858 I like the color scheme alot! It's similar to mine but darker.

@NorthWestWind Very cool!

@BuboScandiacus It doesn't slow it down, but it might be because it's a very small video & the computer is good. The computer has video decoding hardware for the video format I'm using, so that might be reducing resource usage more. The wallpaper also supports automatically pausing the video under certain conditions to free resources, such as low battery or a window being fullscreen. I haven't tried this on a worse computer. It should only slow down the computer if it uses the CPU to decode the video, which happens if your graphics hardware doesn't support the format, or if the file is large & consumes alot of memory. I transcoded the video to AV1 because my graphics card can understand that format & because videos in that format have a very small file size. It's probably best to try out different things & see which one slows down your computer the least.

@blinfabian @Fizz You have to build it yourself this way though :(
Maybe it's distro dependant. I'm using Fedora & Neon, & I don't see this in "Get New" or Discover on either one.

@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there's probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I've seen similar things done with Waybar but I don't know if it's really two bars or if it's just visual. I'm only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.

@Deebster I know that Mastodon does weird stuff to videos, but I'm not sure why the images won't work.

@Deebster If the background is Pokemon, it's from the work in progress post & not this one.

@Hadriscus The future is now.
