I’m currently using the COSMIC DE and been loving it so far. I have some experience in rust, so I want to try and make an app for cosmic (no guarantees).

Any recommendations?

        sure, but only for that one event, it doesn’t let you persist the preference from there

      I found this completely maddening when I had a folder full of random videos with various codecs. I had a video player installed that could handle all of them but half of them would open in one video player, a few in another and the rest tried to open in a web browser and failed.

    I usually don’t mind using apps made for another DE as long as their UIs are minimal enough for my taste

    however, while I was using COSMIC I felt like it really needed a GUI Log Viewer, it’s the kind of thing that sound clearly tailored for the user base COSMIC aims to achieve

    GNOME one is nice, but libcosmic apps handle COSMIC tiling better

    Only thing bothering me on the cosmic desktop is really the fact that the app menu doesn’t have a shadow behind its window. So white menu on white window on the back, you can’t see where one window starts and where the other ends. A patch for that would be great, to be honest.

        I don’t think the desktop enviroment affects compatibility at all, I’m very sure it’s mostly just integration and it looking pretty. except stuff that’s part of the DE. Also, sorry for answering to a week old comment i didn’t check until now that I’m editing.
