It was Mozarts "Requim" or Verdis - "Dies Irae", but that would give the whole video another level of tempo.

I changed my background a bit,....and I think I will do that more often as usual.

Now imagine that they start following you as you walk past by...

It's only been two days since I installed but I had to have some little eye candy.

Having migrated from W10 a few months ago, found on the internet, I find that it reflects a certain reality (-:

Reminds me of the game called Stray, there are robots in the game called Companions, they evolved to mimic humans.

I tried adding a blur on my shell, but found out Gnome doesn't support that, so I improvised and added a blurred background image to many elements. I also customized the accent color. The great thing about this is, since I placed the blurred background in a special folder and just called it blur.png, it can be replaced with any other image there and it will apply to almost all elements immediately

It's not actual blur, but it does refresh the UI.

it sound cool, but it could be cooler if you share and explain your trick

A hack? My favorite type of trick Looks really nice, I love it!

I actually did something even hackier (and way less attractive) by painting a thick line over my wallpaper, pretending it to be the top bar while in reality it was just transparent. All so that I could place a conky widget there:

Share your desktop, what does it look like?

I won't get any awards from this but it's functional. I had to hack my way around it though: made the top bar transparent using Transparent Shell extension, then quickly edit the wallpaper with gimp to paint the top bar on the same color as it was. After than it's a matter of playing with the coordinates, color and font which I will still have to adjust some other time. [desktop]

Yeah, I'm not very good at design myself

@Nourpon

It works by modifying the stylesheet that controls the visual appearance. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the exact code myself, either...

Perhaps over in this thread would be a better place to discuss it further?

Change desktop context menu background

How can I change the background color of the desktop context menu? I found the Zorin Desktop Icons extension, and the only code found in the stylesheet.css is this: .file-label, label.file-label:backdrop { text-shadow: 0px 1.5px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.85); color: white; font-weight: 600; } .file-label-dark, label.file-label-dark:backdrop { text-shadow: 0px 1.5px 3px rgba(255,255,255,0.85); color: black; font-weight: 600; } .file-item { padding: 2px; border-radius: 8p…
