Any kind of tool that can clean up my mess for me - with as little input from me as possible - has my attention. All sorts of files, gifs, videos and folders are strewn across my screen at any given moment. Like many, I use my desktop as a work surface. It automatically “stacks” files into contextually relevant groups, based on file type, date and tags. Third and final in this light-hearted look at Mojave features is Desktop Stacks - the one feature that, I’m ashamed to say, I really dig.ĭesktop Stacks is file manager feature that works on the macOS desktop. So, if you’re after something unique, be sure to check out our most recent post about it. Komorebi is the go-to app for striking, animated desktop backgrounds. ![]() Over the years we’ve written about tonnes of quirky desktop backgrounds, from backgrounds that mimic the local weather to ones that show you a live view of earth to ones that are just too scary to mention! Linux can do more than shuffle images to a schedule. Subject matter aside, it’s still the same effect: a wallpaper that changes throughout the day, without you needing to get involved. GNOME’s ‘Adwaita Night’ wallpaperĭon’t feel envious: the default GNOME Shell background can also change during the day.Īdmittedly Apple’s subject choice (stunning 4K photography of the Mojave desert) is a wee bit nicer on the eye than the austere Adwaita images (see right) but the feature is there should artists and creatives want to make use of it. So, you see a bright, daytime photo on your desktop during the day, a dimpsy photo in the early evening, and a nighttime shot during the small hours. When enabled, Dynamic Desktop automatically changes the desktop background based on the time of day. Dynamic DesktopĪnother feature of Mojave that seems to be pleasing people is Dynamic Desktop. You’ll need to use the Tweaks tool (or Unity Tweak Tool, if you’re using the Unity desktop) to set the ‘Arc Dark’ variant as your desktop theme globally.Īrc Dark should will also work well on the MATE, Budgie, and XFCE desktops. You can install the full Arc theme on Ubuntu by running this command in a new Terminal window: sudo apt install arc-theme All you have to do is install one!īut which? I like Arc Dark, It’s a well designed, flat, and modern looking dark theme that supports a number of Linux desktop environments. If, like Mojave users this fall, you want a dark theme to affect all the apps you use, you can. The Adwaita GTK theme (aka the GNOME default) ships by default in a number of Linux distros, such as Fedora.Īdwaita has a dark mode that apps can ‘request’ (apps like the Photos and Videos apps do) but it’s also possible to enable the Adwaita dark theme globally too. After all, Linux has had dark themes for almost long as it has had themes! Dark GTK Themes Arc Dark on Ubutnu This helps to keep the focus on app content, with buttons, controls and other toggles recessing into the background.īut as Linux user I find it a little odd to see so many tech nerds so deeply enthused by what is, to me, a rather trivial change. It’s an optional new theme that darkens app window chrome, toolbars and panels. ![]() Linux has had dark themes for almost long as it has had themes! ![]()
