do i miss having aero glass audio player skins so much that i'm willing to make a spotify account just to use spicefy's wmp11 theme? maybe, maybe not, but i'm considering it

if i do i'm probably gonna only use for my discord friends' playlists. since lately i find that i prefer lesser known streaming services like bandcamp/funkwhale/free music archive, third party apps for youtube music, internet radio and straight up piracy

@kuroi yeah the themes are cool. it's unfortunate that the retro ones kinda get buried in the results by the flat "modern" ones & sometimes gtk3 themes don't look exactly like the image on xfce. but it's still great that linux has software for such detailed themes by default

i figured out how to make the windows titlebars transparent. apparently you gotta go into window manager tweaks and then compositor

i figured out a trick so that images from discord don't save as webp. go to photopea in another tab, copy paste the image link into "open with url", then "export" the file as either a png or a jpg. you're welcome

i actually just change the file format on my own when saving the image; select from the file type dropdown “all file types” and add “.jpg” or “.png” or “.gif” to the end of the file name ☺️

@kkbkkb thanks for the advice

I've found that opening Discord images in a new tab returns them to their native file format. I also have a browser extension that converts WEBPs which I use if that doesn't work.

(I do use Discord for web, though. I'm not sure if either of those would work for the desktop app.)

@kuroi one thing i'm really happy with is that my computer boots faster. but idk if that's because it's so lightweight or because it's less cluttered or both (probably both)

probably both xD i switched to mint back then because my laptop was SO slow with windows, i added mint as a dual boot and i was so surprised by how fast it worked, felt like i had a new computer xD
