Accent colors provide a way for users to personalize their desktop in a simple, developer-friendly, and effective way. Throughout the community there has been a general interest in the inclusion of accent colors within apps and desktop environments. This proposal aims to standardize an accent color key on the Settings portal.
A new key on the Settings portal,
accent-color, would be defined under theorg.freedesktop.appearancenamespace.
And endorsed by #GNOME, #KDE, #CosmicDE, #ElementaryOS, and #Budgie, at that!
Yes, but I think the implication of the supposed semantics is that if we’re only ever referring to “Linux” as the kernel itself, then Linus possibly would’ve seen it.
Not sure if he would’ve merged it, my knowledge of the kernel development process is a bit lacking - but I thought all the various subsystems of the kernel had their own maintainers who handled merging patches.
Per this:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html#how-patches-get-into-the-kernel
While there are top level maintainers for the subsystems, it looks like Linus is the only one who can merge them into the mainline kernel.
Ah, makes sense! That’s a great read, I’ve been meaning to read more into their development process!
