Same request here. Linux Mint Cinnamon v21.3 and none of my desktop icons are visible when hidamari is running. Also the right click menu is different... missing many options, such as Display Settings, etc.

Same request here on Cinnamon v21.3 :3

tudza commented 3 months ago

Figured there would be a request for this since I came here to ask for the same thing.

Commented to get notification when feature is added.

Appreciate the Flatpak install.

icons do work on gnome, i think the main issue is that other desktop enviroments dont support drawing the desktop icons as an overlay on top of other things, the code that render the wallpaper may be glued togheter with the code that render the icons, so hidamari would have to reimplement icons by thenselves alongside all other features that the desktop support on those desktop enviroments. that is a lot of work that they problably wont do, instead try komorebi, they have icon support but they wont be using the same tech as your DE to draw such icons, instead they have an minimal reimplementation of this feature, its not enough for my needs but it may be for you.

tudza commented 3 months ago

Looked at komorebi first. Looked again just now.

Might do.

can get them to be on top on mint, follow closely. before you start hidamari, right click on the desktop, customize, desktop settings, start hidamari and set your background, back to the desktop settings window, in the desktop layout selection drop down box, toggle to no desktop icons, wait a second and select your normal setting or show desktop icons on all monitors. Works and puts hidamari at the correct layer, but if you change the video you have to repeat. I currently lack the ability to automate this... as funny as that is with my username. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Look, I'm no pro when it comes to scripting sht, but I tried to write a bash script that automates the process of your described steps. Works fine on my end at least, so you can give it a try if you want. You still have to execute it every time tho when changing the wallpaper.

#!/bin/bash
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop desktop-layout false::false
notify-send -u normal -t 10000 "Reloading Icons"
sleep .5
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop desktop-layout true::false

!/bin/bash

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop desktop-layout false::false notify-send -u normal -t 10000 "Reloading Icons" sleep .5 gsettings set org.nemo.desktop desktop-layout true::false

BROTHER!!!! That works perfectly, now if we could get that little gem rolled in, maybe on a settings toggle to support the OS's that have their icons buried <3

Hah glad it worked for you! Yeah that would be definitely something.

Could consider adding custom scripts execution support after Hidamari startup. 👍 This way Hidamari can remain DE agnostic, while being able to extend its support for more DE.

Would be dope. Is there also any chance you could add an auto shuffle mode, so backgrounds can change automatically after a certain amount of time (setting the timer via seconds inside the config file or smth)? I have too many and sticking to just one at a time is very hard lol

I am on linux mint 22 running cinnamon DE and I also need to cycle desktop icons to get them to show after changing my background. Anyway for developer to please add this to the application?
