🚀 The Technical Approach: Non-Destructive Hooking

Instead of modifying core system files, I took a different route.
I wrote a custom Python script that dynamically hooks into GTK 4.0 UI selectors.

Real-time hue rotation: The script allows for dynamic hue rotation across 9 colors on the fly.

Non-destructive: It doesn't permanently overwrite system themes. It injects the changes dynamically, keeping the base system clean and stable.

It’s been a fascinating journey pushing the boundaries of what's possible with modern Linux desktop environments. By combining the stability of an Ubuntu base with the flexibility of Python scripting, I was able to create something truly unique.

💻 Try it out

The project is completely open-source. I’d love for you to check out the code, try the OS, and let me know what you think about this dynamic hooking approach!

✨ Features / 主な特徴

🎨 9 Vibrant Themes (Hue Rotation): Utilizing a unique Python-based hue rotation system, we quickly crafted 9 distinct and beautiful color themes (Pythonを用いた独自の「色相回転ギミック」を活用し、9色展開の美しく多彩なテーマを構築。)
🐾 Animal Motifs: Each of the 9 color themes corresponds to a specific animal, adding a playful yet stylish touch to your desktop experience. (それぞれのテーマカラーには動物のモチーフが対応しており、遊び心とスタイリッシュさを両立。)

🛠️ Ultimate Freedom (True to Moebuntu's Spirit): While it looks perfectly configured out of the box, you still have complete freedom to change the Plymouth (boot animation), Login screen, and Wallpapers to whatever you desire. (初期状態で完成されたデザインでありながら、Moebuntuと同様にPlymouth、ログイン画面、背景画像はユーザーの好みに合わせて自由に変更可能。着せ替えの自由度はそのままです。)
