 Okay, I guess nobody was really surprised when I did this video for Keri, but GNOME can be customized too and sometimes it can be customized better than Keri in some specific cases. So today I put together like seven very crazy GNOME customizations, so let's look at them because some of those are like... and we immediately start with one that I thought was completely fake actually, but no it isn't, it's completely real. So this is the video and first of all this showcases the use of the flypie extension, which by the way is made by the person that recorded this video, which is a very nice shortcut that allows you to open applications or invoke shortcuts or open URLs and it also showcases a lot of very nice effects when you open and close windows. These are implemented by the extension burnmywindow, still made by the same person and then for the big reveal at the end after using blender we can actually see GNOME in 3D with a desktop cube extension, still by the way made by the same person and it looks gorgeous and I just love how it adapts to the other parts of the GNOME desktop, as an example it looks flat when you open the overview, but then you just change the perspective and everything gets into 3D, it's so well implemented, I was shocked, I thought this was fake, totally. If this video isn't enough for you and it isn't for me then you also get another one with more burnmywindow effects, this time pixelated and if that's not enough either, well then you also get this video with the rick and morty effect, because just wow, wow, wow. Finally enough I think these effects are also, you can also use them on kerriplasma I think, but this is a GNOME video so I haven't even looked. Going on there's this one, which really I think is meant to showcase the switch from night mode to light mode through a script that was written by the author of this video, but you do also have a lot of other interesting elements, as an example on the bottom you have this volume visualizer, which is actually KAVA or CAVA, running in a transparent terminal, which is pretty cool, I didn't think about that. You have a custom GTK theme, which you can find in the thread, which is linked in the video description and you do also have the project drop down terminal, which you can install in GNOME and by the way there's a KD application, which is also meant to do exactly that, it's a drop down terminal, it's called Yakuake, if you want to try that one out. I think it's a pretty cool concept, especially because it stays the same one in all the virtual desktops that you switch between, so you have kind of this terminal that's always the same one regardless of where you are, that's pretty cool. And of course you can also switch between light and dark mode, this is showcased by the video, but there's lots of way to do that nowadays, still it's pretty cool that it automatically changes the theme of the applications too, but I mean you get the idea. Then there is this one, which I looked at and third, GNOME, is it you? Is it actually GNOME? Yes it is! Okay so if I understood this correctly, it is GNOME, but I think there's an extension that is removing the default dock, just kidding, there is no dock in GNOME out of the box, forget about that. And I think this is using the projects EWW and Waybar etc for actually displaying the system trade, the top bar and widgets, so I think those are kind of custom and if you do want them then the author has shared their dot files, so you can just check those out, but what really drives this home in my opinion is the choice of colors, because yes you can have all the fancy stuff in the world, but you do have to get colors right, and in this case these pastel colors are just perfect. And if you don't like this version there's also another one, still pastel colors, but with flowers, and I mean how can you not love this? Just look at it, just look at it. Okay so then we have this one, which is very exciting, because it's a combination of a desktop and a phone themes. So one is GNOME and the other one of course is Android, because iOS nobody actually uses that. On the GNOME side I do want to point out that blur meshal extension, which you can see in the last screenshot, just looks awesome, and if it was up to me, it's not sadly, but if it was up to me I would just put blur meshal out of the box in the GNOME experience, but for enough you do you. On the Android side of things I think it's also really impressive and I have no idea how that's done, that you also get the wallpaper or at least part of it on the top of quick settings. I have no idea why it's there, but it looks pretty darn good. So wow. The bottom dock is very pretty in my opinion, although if it was up to me again in some way that probably would have taken me months to set up, I would have made sure that there was blur behind the dock, because I do think that all the transparent things should be blurred behind. In fact I do think that everything should be blurred, that's just meta, but I would have blurred behind the dock. Nonetheless it's very cool and the GTK theme which just fits everything so nicely is called colloid or colloid or colloid. Then we have this entry which is GNOME, however the actual interesting part of it is the wallpaper really and it's taken from a set of like 14 to 15 different wallpapers that are spanned in the same place, like you have the same subject in the art in the wallpaper, but throughout a day. So all the colors changes going from sunrise to sunset and tonight and it's just awesome. You have this deer, reindeer that just walks around and it works so well. So what's the GNOME part of this? Well there is this little script which I think you can find on FlatApp which changes the wallpaper depending on the time of day. So you can have this wallpaper, so 15 different versions of it that change depending on what time is it. So just wow and the art is beautiful. So kudos to everybody involved for implementing this. We finally get to my favorite one which is Materia Shell and I mean this is Materia Shell. I've used it a lot in the past actually. I think I've done a video about it already. It does a lot. So I think it's first of all quite a testimony to how powerful extensions in the GNOME world are. This is where they totally beat KD as an example. Why? Because you could achieve something like this in KD, however it would take hours to set up even though probably somebody has done it before you. However in the GNOME world extensions are just one single package that can modify multiple things and you just have to install that one and turn it on and with just one click everything is already set up. You kind of have that idea with a global theme in KD but it's not as powerful and there aren't as many that change the behavior this much. So what's the idea? So you have a top panel which shows all the open applications and how you would like to tile them. So some quick tiling buttons. That's super useful and I totally love it. And then on the left you have activities sort of. You can create a new one quickly which is totally better than what KD does with activities in my opinion and you can switch between them. So basically you have this special workflow where you can move around to the left to the right to switch within an activity between different applications or between activities top to bottom. So that's pretty cool. It's a concept that I truly love actually but the reason why I don't use this is that I think it relies a lot on the idea like whenever you restart the computer you should get back to your windows in the same place and they kind of managed to do this but of course everything is lost in like what you were watching. So basically no application has a good recovery support after being closed and reopened. So certainly enough I don't think that idea works as well as it should be to give everything a sense because otherwise you're just setting up all this rather complex spatial place in fact and as soon as you restart the computer everything is lost. So such a cool idea it's a bit of a shame that applications don't support this as well as they could. Okay before we get to the very last one I just wanted to quickly say that this channel in order for everything to work for me to do my thing and for other people to do other things and we need money. That's dead yeah. You know it's like Bernie Sanders asking I need your financial support again. So I do have a goal for 700 euros a month. We are not there and the month is slowly coming to us top like we're midway through more than midway. So if you're able to chip in something that would be awesome that 700 manages to make everything still go on and work as usual. I've got Patreon, LibrePay, Ko-Fi, PayPal anything anything would be helpful and thank you so much to all the people left and right that actually you know chipping something that helped me with this channel and with my KD involvement. So thanks everybody as I was saying the last one let's get back to this color scheme. Last one this one we are still in the realm of original content that is this was actually implemented by the person that recorded this video which as always you can find in the video description and what's here. So first of all we do have I did notice this it's not the main topic but we finally have a panel in GNOME that is blurred behind it which is so pretty. I have no idea how it's implemented. I luckily the original poster did not give details but this shows that it's possible. But of course the main point is the animation on when you log out. This is a nice animation that was implemented by this poster and it's implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and I think this quite shows like how yes like GNOME is not carry. I will say that however you can still do a lot of customizations. So I do think that the GNOME project is awesome as much as I use KDE obviously and I would totally love to see more and more setups very specific setups that do this kind of things. So if you use GNOME I urge you to try out different things and see how you can customize it but obviously it's not strictly necessary. That said I'm very happy that you made it through the end of the video which is blue and I don't I'm gonna do more videos so you know check them out. Did I pronounce customization correctly every time this time or did I get you wrong? Custom customization. I'm learning English slowly.
