​I just released Archtoys v0.2.0, a fast, native Linux color picker inspired by Microsoft PowerToys.

​The goal was to bring that same clean experience to Linux. It’s built with Rust and Slint, so it’s incredibly lightweight.

​What’s New in v0.2.0:

• ​Wayland Support: Now works on Wayland (but unfortunately due to wayland restrictions the live preview is not available).

• ​X11 Live Preview: Smooth, cursor-following preview that shows your HEX value in real-time.

• ​Smart Input Engine: Handles HEX (with or without #), RGB, HSL, and HSV. It auto-formats your input so you don't have to worry about syntax.

• ​Custom Hotkeys: You can customize the hotkey to whatever you want from the settings.

Quality of Life:

• ​Autostart Toggle: Option to launch hidden in the tray on boot.

• ​Ghost Picking: Picking a color no longer accidentally clicks buttons or links underneath.

​Install (Arch-based):

​You can grab it from the AUR:

• Fast install (pre-compiled) : paru -S archtoys-bin

• Build from source : paru -S archtoys

It's all in the title. Seriously, y'all make life so much better. I've been using Arch since 2018, dropped out of my compsci master during covid because of health issues, and still stuck to Arch despite cognitive fatigue and my increasingly rusty ability to use compsci arcana. Still no regrets, and the wiki is a large part of how smooth my overall Arch experience has been. Thank y'all so much for your work.

Hi there,

I have been using a bluetooth speaker for the past 3 months, and today after a basic -Syu the A2DP profile does not work anymore.

By that I mean that when I select that profile output and input do not appear on the KDE sound selector. If I use CVSD or mSBC it does appear and work, however quality is pretty poor.

I tried to resync the speaker and delete bluetooth config in var/lib but to no avail.

Do you have the same issue or a solution ?
