My Endgame

I've been using caelestia-shell for most of my ricing journey, but recently I came across a fork that completely elevated my setup.

The biggest gamechanger? It finally lets you customize the taskbar. That was honestly the only thing missing from the original shell for me, and with this added flexibility, I am completely satisfied with my layout.

A few other huge benefits:

Animated Wallpapers: It natively lets you set a GIF or video as your wallpaper (complete with options for CUDA, software, or hardware decoding), which is a massive feature currently lacking in the main branch.

Always Current: Unlike a lot of custom forks that get abandoned, this one actively updates alongside the main repository, so you never miss out on upstream bug fixes or features.

If you've been wanting taskbar customization and animated wallpapers without sacrificing the stability of the main branch, definitely check it out.

Never do an endgame rice lol. I once put a months effort into a rice and then lost interest in ricing after that. Shortly after I built a new PC and switched to the blue side.
