After having my desktop look like a rainbow for a long time I went for the opposite end. It's not a very cheerful color-scheme but my eyes suffer much less after long hours behind the screen.

Anyway, thank you all for introducing me into this new world just about a year ago.

Also, I thought Neofetch just always interpreted River as Sway, but I've now seen people's Neofetch screenshots saying River. How do I get Neofetch to tell I'm using River not Sway?
