Theming Flatpak

Flatpak applications cannot directly use the system theme. This happens because flatpaks do not have the ability to use data files or libraries in /usr (where system themes are typically located). The solution to this was to package themes as Flatpaks, as relying upon the host to have the correct version for every flatpak defeats the portability benefits it provides. These themes are provided as extensions, to the Freedesktop runtime when the extension point is Gtk, and to the KDE runtime when the extension point is Qt.

The theming system requires Flatpak 0.8.4+ and applications using up to date org.gnome.Platform 3.24+, or org.freedesktop.Platform 1.6+, or org.kde.Platform 5.9+.

My bash prompt

I recently decided to see if I could create my own bash prompt, inspired by a short guide on making it like powerline. I did want to customize the prompt, but not for it to have the powerline look, so I decided to dig further. Here’s the result.

Bootstrap git status indication

Thanks to the aforementioned short guide, I found out that in the git repository there is a file that enables git prompt support in bash and zsh. The comments in the beginning of the file give setup and usage instructions and configurable parameters. I’ve set it up to show dirty state, untracked files and if there are differences between the repo and upstream.

# custom prompt
source $HOME/.git-prompt.sh
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE="True"
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES="True"

lmintmate's commit emoji system

Geared for dotfile and colorscheme tinkerers.

I wasn't satisfied by the existing emoji commit standards, because they are more geared towards coders than people just maintaining dotfiles and only occasionally contributing a bug report or a piece of documentation (e.g. I don't need an emoji for tests, because I don't do any).

Here is my own standard, modelled after my own usage (feel free to use it as well if you want):

• 🎬 :clapper: = Initial commit¹
• 🆕 :new: = Add stuff
• 🗑️ :wastebasket: = Remove stuff
