I think Starfield's main menu is neat. So I made it into a desktop widget. Files (including the stylized logo) here, wallpaper here.

I used the Chakra Petch font (AUR: ttf-chakra-petch) for the menu buttons, and Liberation Sans (with some editing in Inkscape) for the logo.

    Okay... but on the other hand, this is my config and your opinion is worthless.

    Ah okey, sorry my comment was not meant as insult. I was just showing my "worthless" confusion about your PUBLIC post. Have a great day/night anyway ✌️

    No, I will not have a good day and will fight you on this.

    What you are doing is the same kind of gatekeeping that the Stallmanites are ridiculed for. You invalidate not just me but everyone who uses a tiling window manager with a focus on mouse interaction - worse yet, your opinion is based on personal customization that has no impact on the ecosystem whatsoever.

    Modularity and customizability are core values of Unix-like operating systems. Enforcing your own ideals on others is their antithesis.

    I mean, personally I use keyboard and mouse quite frequently. I use window manager to make tasks that are less efficient on mouse (like resizing, snapping, or moving windows) move to keyboard.
