I just find it ugly vs Gnome or Mac. Inconsistent padding, font sizes, colors. Admittedly, this was maybe 5 years ago. Has that improved?

These days, I daily drive Niri and love it. I love the workflow of a scrolling WM. I love that I can configure it via a single text file in the standard configuration directory, I love how lightweight it is. It’s just about perfect for me.

Here is my Debian 12 / KDE setup. With the "Inter" font, macOS icons (whitesur) and a little theming (klassy) I quite like it. Running this on a 5K Apple display and everything is crisp.

What's that load monitor you have in the bottom left?
