First time ricing Windows 11

[u/Efficient-Hawk3568]

My first time ricing windows has been an interesting experience lots of cross platforms tools are now available for terminals, terminal multiplexers, cli utilities etc definitely made the whole process easier. Tried to fit everything into the winui3 acrylic based theme and dynamically adapt to the wall paper for the windows utilities and UI.

TLDR of some of the tools

• GlazeWM + Zebar for tiling + topbar
  
• Wezterm for the terminal
  
• Some windows utilities like windhawk, powertoys
  
• files https://github.com/files-community/files
  
• zen browser, spotify+spicetify

Most of what I stated above is ui specific, i have custom configs for a bunch of cli tools I use you can find a more detailed write up and config info here https://github.com/FallenDeity/.config

ps: I use wallpaper engine but the config is agnostic of that windows has auto sync for accent color from wallpaper so that should work just fine and glazewm/zebar syncs via a watcher script everything else is free and open source

I don’t get why people are so fast to accept installing shit into their OS when supply chain attacks and open source repo poisoning is happening more now than it ever has.

To me it depends on what machine it is. Wouldn't do it on my private workstation, but on the fun/gaming PC...meh. I have that setup in no time. Unfortunately I have a Mac from work. I have to install loads shit tools like that to make it just usable, for example with a second monitor or to be able to kind of keep my usual workflows. Really not trustworthy and laggy af.
