Replacing the background with the new default-dark.png looks like this:

It does look a bit confusing for text in the terminal, perhaps it can be improved by lowering opacity a bit?

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

alacritty.toml:

[window]
opacity = 0.8

Maybe just a bit too dark

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

alacritty.toml

[window]
opacity = 0.6

Maybe still a bit too light

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

alacritty.toml

[window]
opacity = 0.7

Looks fine to me.

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

The theme colours still look fine to me, I don't think we need to change anything in that regard.

Question: do we want to adjust the background colour / opacity of waybar as well?

~I would propose changing the waybar bagrkound colour to the main background colour (dark green rgb(12,42,39)), so that the bar looks transparent without colour change~ EDIT: I would propose leaving Waybar colours as they are, they look fine to me.

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

After some more experiments, I think 0.75 alacritty opacity looks better. I will create a PR with that

greetd does not look good at all with the new background, especially the clock:

[denisok]

you can play with font and size in css, or make it (background) pitch black for example, or you can take any color from the official pallet for the background. It doesn't matter that much for the login, ppl don't see it that often.

[FilippoBonazziSUSE]

Added a dark shadow on top, now looks like this:

window {
    background-image: url("file:///usr/share/wallpapers/openSUSEdefault/contents/images/default-dark.png");
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    color: rgba(53, 185, 171, 1);
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 8000px rgba(1, 1, 1, 0.4);
}

Note for future tinkering: run GTK apps in debug mode with the GTK inspector:

GTK_DEBUG=interactive gtkgreet

I didn't know this and it's really cool
