Introducing Confex - Edit and manage your WM Configs

Confex is a new way to manage window manager configs.

Confex uses its own .confex extension to display a GUI for a given configuration. This means KDL (the format used by Niri) is converted to Confex, which is then converted back to KDL when exporting. But it also means that KDL converted to Confex can be exported into other window-manager formats, making it easier to carry your config forward when you switch WMs.

There’s one small catch. At the moment, Confex only works with N...

Evolve B189 - Features and fixes

Thanks to Mitja for the feature requests as well as the extensive bug report.

New App Scaling Support

Evolve now supports in-app scaling. You can set any value from the settings page and Evolve will adapt the interface accordingly. This required a bit of modification almost everywhere but it now finally works.

This is still experimental. There are some known issues -

Flance - The Expressive Update

Flance is the personal finance manager I use. This was the very first testing ground for crosslink as well as the new NEX UI. They were developed as a core part of Flance and then shifted to external packages to be re-used by Evolve and the separate CrossLink GUI we have today.

The older integrations are removed for NEX UI and replaced with the v0.1 NEX Expressive UI update.

If you use flance, you can update to this version for a fresher UI

Evolve B187 - A GTK theme manager going wireless?

A few months ago, I had this wild idea of interconnecting multiple devices with context awareness. I first experimented with it in my finance manager app, Flance, through an early version of CrossLink.

Now, CrossLink (v0.1) has finally made its way into Evolve, enabling seamless theme synchronization (GTK3, GTK4, Shell) across different GNOME-powered devices.

Nex Expressive UI (v0.1)

This is the first enhancement iteration of the major UI overhaul. This UI is used across all NEX apps.

Static yet not so static

The v0.1 introduces a better blur algorithm. I call it the pseudo-dynamic blur. It negates movement caused by the dialog AppearEffect which makes it seem lik...

CrossLink - v0.1 update!

For those of you don't know, CrossLink is a background service which enables context aware inter-connectivity across NEX apps on different platforms and operating systems. This is the first release after the initial MVP with many new bug fixes and stronger security.

CrossLink v0.1

Download CrossLink for Android/Linux from here.

Much of the issues present from the first release is still here. The primary focus was on security as well as on enabling CrossLink to run in the background on Linux.

CrossLink GUI does not have implementation to automatically spawn CrossLink service which enables background connectivity. You can use Evolve to setup the service properly.

As of now I have not created an uninstaller but I am looking forward to add one soon in thi...

Update : Evolve X CrossLink

CrossLink recently received some major security updates, which means it requires additional testing before I can confidently roll it out. While progress is steady, the integration is still a bit too unreliable at this stage.

For that reason, the B187 update will be postponed to next week. I want to make sure everything is stable and secure before releasing it to you.

Thank you as always for your patience and support!

NEX UI Expressive is here!

The final release of NEX UI is here, and this is all you need to know.

NEX UI has evolved into a design system that feels alive, responsive, and deeply personal. It’s no longer just a visual style but a shared design language that will unify all NEX apps under one expressive, intent-driven philosophy.

Let’s dig in, shall we?

CrossLink - More than what it seemed

I have been actively exploring how CrossLink can serve as a bridge to enable seamless continuity between Linux and Android devices. After careful thought and experimentation, I can say with confidence that this is not just another Evolve update. It deserves to exist as a standalone project that runs alongside Evolve rather than within it.

The first version of CrossLink, which was implemented in Flance, is something I am genuinely proud of. Its context-aware functionality was a personal ...

Evolve V1.7.3 is here!

With a gorgeous new Light Mode interface!

I guess almost every app nowadays are first built on Light Mode and then, later Dark Mode is added. I did quite the opposite. The entirety of Evolve was built on Dark Mode. Light Mode was not available properly. This is because I personally think most of us prefer dark mode! It is much easier on the eyes... But anyway...
