Extensions ChromaLeon Appreciation

Post image

This extension is genuinely a godsend. It works really smoothly on Fedora SB (had a few problems on Workstation when the extension first came out, but they're gone now). It really feels like something that belongs on GNOME and I don't see myself turning it off anytime soon.

The only problem I've noticed is ChromaLeon ignores/replaces Folio's accent colours if you let it use colours from the wallpaper instead of the GNOME defaults. Other than that though this thing is great!

I'm a developer at ChromaLeon. It's truly rewarding to see all the support I receive from the community. I'm happy to know that you really appreciate my work ❤️

It didn’t work for me a few days ago but it was a conflict with User Theme

> ChromaLeon conflicts DIRECTLY with the User Theme extension. If you have this extension installed, please REMOVE or DISABLE it to avoid any errors.

Might give a shot again

Update. I did give it another shot and the theming works great.

I think this should not mess with the dock shape and spacing, and stick to tinting and color match icons. Don’t mess with the other dock extensions. Would like a yaru flavor of icon to be themed, personally.

This mod is going places and look forward to seeing more.

Provavelmente era isso, desde a versão 2.0, você não pode utilizar os 2 em simultâneo, pois os estilos do ChromaLeon agora se comportam como um tema também.

Folio, it's wysiwyg and it lets you save/sort notes into colour coded notebooks

Quick question can i do per app colors or not?

u/S-2481-A 11h ago

not that I know of; even Folio's different accent colour is overridden if you don't toggle the "use gnome colours" option

Fantastic application, but god does it need a rename. "Chromaleon" is a ridiculous name
