Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?
I've been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux
(not mine, found on image search)
first screenshot doesn't look like aero at all tbh. second one more so. this is the most accurate port I know of tho https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma
This is the kind of thing I had in mind!
Aero is more than just the blur effect, modern OS's still have that in spades.
i want to install plasma just for this now
It's pretty easy! This is my desktop right now. I do like it a liiitle less gaudy and my mac use at work means that I prefer my window controls on the left instead of the right.
Second picture theme is called: Clearglass. Icon: Glass icons by Palko drawing.
..For anyone interested
Skip aero. Let's go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.
New KDE brought the cube back!
I'm rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.
Have a look at Wayfire. It's a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven't tried it myself as I don't really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D
