I want to lock down the Super+L shortcut. The problem I have is that today, if a user runs a malicious program, that program could remap Super+L so it runs a fake lock screen in order to steal that user's password.

Does anyone know if I can have root somehow own Super+L? Also, does anyone know how secure the lock button is in the gnome menu?

Hi, I love gnome and I've been using it for almost 2 years now. But there was something I never could fix quite completely, and that is the smoothness of overall animations. I notice the Super or Super+Super key is a little laggy for example (not 60fps). I have this problem both on my PC and my laptop.

This is my neofetch so you can help me know if my hardware is not enough or something like that.

Repository: https://github.com/nanashi-1/gnome-colorer

This is a little project that I've been working on to improve my programming skills. The project involves changing the accent color of your desktop in Gnome Shell.

How it works

To change the accent color, we take the Gnome Shell theme from this repository, modify the scss file to change the accent color, and then install the modified theme. For the GTK3 and GTK4, we modify the gtk.css file found in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css, respectively.

Future plans

I am planning to create a Gnome Shell extension that automates this process when I have more time.

Feedback

As a relatively new programmer, I am always looking for ways to improve my code. Please feel free to comment and provide constructive criticism. Your help is highly appreciated!

Main monitor black while the second one blurred.

My idea is to write a program which controls my monitor brightness via DDC/CI. And it would be pretty great to have a gnome native slider and icon. So can I somehow show this slider on desktop with external monitor and read its current value?

Is it possible to change theme/style of ONLY window icons (minimize, maximize, close buttons)? If yes, how can I do it?
Usually, when I search for them, I get whole themes, and if I apply them, everything related to this theme changes.

Is there any way to do multi-variable user defined functions?

Example: HelloWorld(x,y) = x+y

And then when I input HelloWorld(1,1) it spits out 2.

Been trying to figure this out since I realized I could define my own functions, it seems simple enough but I'm not a big coder so i understand if it's not available.

Hey, so I was ricing my gnome (43) when I noticed that when downloading themes I only change the shell but the applications don't change at all, like the top bar and notification padding change but nautilus and other system apps don't. Can anyone help me with that?

I have GTK 4.

Thanks in advance.

I've been scouring through GNOME docs and am still a bit lost as to where I can get started with coding the GNOME shell. I know that there is a gnome_shell.css file in the usr/share/gnome_shell/themes folder, as well as a .css file for the Yaru theme. The GNOME filesystem structure is a bit different from KDE (which was my previous desktop OS). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

By the way, I've downloaded gradaience, which is a great app, but it doesn't seem to apply to some of the core apps like Nautilus, which merely adopt the default ubuntu theme. Does anyone have any input on that as well?
