@deBaer indeed, das ist unsauber, keycode sollte am besten immer 0 sein in der row 6 (bzw 5). diese keys werden aber nicht reported, wegen:

now available: MNT Reform Keyboard 4.0, now with full RGB backlighting and RP2040 microcontroller. Also as "No case" variant as an upgrade module for MNT Reform. https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-keyboard-40

ok, so now there's a solution on the horizon for comfy wallpaper picking via thunar (file manager) on sway / wayfire:

1. package https://gitlab.com/carbonOS/gde/gde-background in debian with picture-uri-dark patched out (one line change)
2. replace swaybg with gde-background
3. set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
4. ship thunar 4.8.12 when it comes out

ok so the thunar bug i encountered and reported a few minutes ago... was immediately fixed https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/1437

@leonardo yes, actually the bug was fixed immediately https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/1437

@raindx true. i just had exactly the same issue in thunar

what i'm trying to do is this, but not with gnome-tweaks but with thunar's context menu. they would just need to fix one little crash and we'd have really comfy wallpaper selection in sway and wayfire

brought to you by the "libX11 segfaults when setting wallpaper in thunar" division

who do i have to ask to make this function wayland tolerant ;_____; (just returning would be nice even) https://github.com/xfce-mirror/thunar/blob/7f468882b9580b1ce994c924efd3fa7be148d3cc/plugins/thunar-wallpaper/twp-provider.c#L340

@AdrianVovk this is awesome!

@AdrianVovk aha, there's also picture-uri-dark

@AdrianVovk hmm, what could be going wrong here?

@AdrianVovk neat!

finally online: MNT Pocket Reform Operator Handbook, HTML edition https://mntre.com/documentation/pocket-reform-handbook

(does not have the cool chapter illustrations that are in the print book yet, though, still thinking about how to integrate them)

are there any minimalist DE/wayland wallpaper (background image) tools like swaybg that listen to changes of org.gnome.desktop.background? or an adapter to sync org.gnome.desktop.background changes to swaybg messages?

i wonder why noone has fixed that bug in Xwayland then

ah, this is known since 2020 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/67697#issuecomment-699679481

usually, when i try some software

trying to manage all the polishing of the rough edges of mnt pocket reform user experience while at the same time developing and launching new products and improvements that we need to sustain us

there's always something! (why are there beings at all instead of nothing etc)
