Besi6606yMy LED and keyboard lights are also purple. I love the whole synthwave style.

bahua128016yI feel like I can't play along, since I always set my desktop background to solid black.

manbir31446y@bahua background is not an issue! It's just about the setup. Pitch black background goes well with quite a number of setups. :)

bahua128016yThis is my laptop. My desktop is back at home, but I'm on vacation with the family.
Openbox, hotkeys do all my launching, fbpanel gives me a clock and some other stuff, ulauncher, rofi, and copyq come together to make my system do what I want.
No DE. DEs are too heavy and don't give me any additional functionality. -
Bubbles66126y. So OP, how do you do the thing in your terminal I think it highlights the directory? I have no idea what it's called and how to describe it and I want it

manbir31446y@Bubbles I guess you are talking about those colored tags on directory names and branch names. I'm using 'oh-my-zsh', it is a shell for Linux/mac.
To install it, you can refer to

c2wiki3776y@iamavalos yup, big fan of Emacs, using its GUI though.
It's been a long time since I customized something look-and-feel related (switched to Apple recently after 10+ years on Linux), even when using XMonad or DWM I used to go with the bare minimum - I'd rather be reading/coding/going out than working my way through customization, though I must confess I've seen stunning desktops, guess it's not my thing ^^.
MacOS made it dead-easy, look-and-feel's great from the start and I just run with the defaults, haven't even changed the dock icons.
