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?
a cool and simple idea that is still missing for cosmic is an emoji selector
check cosmic-utils to make sure you’re not recreating a project that already exists.
KDE Connect
I have that on my pop os cosmic? I’ve only used it for texting but it’s worked fine for me
Cool
Could you potentially port Hexchat to Cosmic?
really missing a gui for setting file associations in 2026?
Doesn’t cosmic files already support this feature?
Right-click -> Show details -> Open with
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.
Damn, I dont even know how to do this without KDE XD
Even rox-filer from 1999 had an easy way to do this!
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 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
Is there a slide down terminal like guake yet?
I’m not sure but I found this: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/603#issuecomment-3679614479
Lol KDE has this included like a normal desktop
But yes a good clipboard manager please
Not really an app, but a way to easily display HEIC pictures, even in preview mode like with Gnome Sushi.
