tadaima

Examples

tadaima includes three example greeters of increasing complexity.

simple

Section titled “simple”

Bare-minimum login form. No wallpaper, no styling.

Good for understanding the API structure without visual distractions.

Terminal window
# NixOS
nix build github:Myxogastria0808/tadaima#simple


# Arch-based
cd examples/simple && npm install && ags bundle app.tsx ./greeter

image

Section titled “image”

Static image wallpaper with Catppuccin Mocha theme.

Demonstrates:

  • Gtk.Picture + Gtk.Overlay for background images
  • SCSS styling with app.apply_css()
  • Why GTK4 CSS background-image: url() doesn’t work with absolute paths (GTK issue #5648)
Terminal window
# NixOS
nix build github:Myxogastria0808/tadaima#image


# Arch-based
cd examples/image && npm install && ags bundle app.tsx ./greeter

movie

Section titled “movie”

Video/image wallpaper with GStreamer support.

Demonstrates:

  • Gtk.MediaFile + Gtk.Picture for looping video backgrounds
  • Why Gtk.Video isn’t used (always shows playback controls)
  • Dynamic wallpaper detection from cache directory
  • GStreamer plugin dependencies for video playback

Supports images (PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, BMP, GIF, TIFF) and videos (MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV).

Terminal window
# NixOS
nix build github:Myxogastria0808/tadaima#movie


# Arch-based
cd examples/movie && npm install && ags bundle app.tsx ./greeter
