Distro-themed. Logos, palettes, and visual motifs for specific Linux distributions.

• Arch Drift Procedural Arch Linux mountain logo as 95-vertex SDF geometry drifting through scrolling terminal rain, isometric chevron grid, traveling data packets, and CRT scan lines. Logo interior features roiling cloud flow, lightning flashes, rain streaks, animated energy contour waves, summit beacon, and traveling edge pulses with dense per-band audio reactivity

• CachyOS Drift Multiple procedural CachyOS logos drawn as SDF geometry, drifting independently through the scene — each facet animates with per-segment audio reactivity, bass shatter, shockwave rings, and faceted edge sparks

  35 params

  PlasmaZones
• EndeavourOS Drift Procedural EndeavourOS tri-sail logo as three overlapping SDF polygon shapes drifting over a constellation network of orbiting dots connected by proximity lines. Logo interior features simplex noise flow tinted per-sail, per-sail bass pulses, summit convergence glow, and shared-edge highlights with a warm purple-to-coral gradient wash background and dense per-band audio reactivity

• openSUSE Drift Iridescent chameleon scale field with thin-film color shifting, Turing pattern markings, curl noise dust particles, and constructive SDF Geeko logo — audio-reactive chromatophore cascade, tail pulse, turret eye, camouflage shimmer, nanocrystal prism bursts, and scale ripple propagation

  PlasmaZones
• Tumbleweed Drift Warm desert horizon with wind-carved sand dune textures, rolling tumbleweed pinwheel logos, dust devil vortices, parallax sand particles, erosion flow lines, and bass shockwave rings — audio-reactive wind intensity, multi-layer logo glow, treble sand glints, sandstorm band, wind-etched sandstone labels, and iridescent inner glow.

Audio Visualizer

Reactive to CAVA — bass, mids, treble, or the full spectrum. Enable audio visualization in Settings.

• Mosaic Pulse Audio-reactive stained glass mosaic — colorful tiles with pulsing shapes, sparkles, and dithered posterization. Bass drives shape pulse, mids shift hue, treble triggers sparkles. Enable CAVA audio visualization in settings.

• Sonic Ripple Concentric audio rings radiate from the zone center — bass kicks launch expanding shockwaves, mids drive ring density, treble sparks the edges. Every beat is visible. Enable CAVA audio visualization in settings.

• Spectrum Bloom Polar spectrum contour — the zone boundary morphs with the full frequency spectrum. Bass to treble maps around the circle; every bar defines the shape. Best with 256 spectrum bars. Enable CAVA audio visualization in settings.

Cyberpunk

Neon, grids, CRT artifacts, and scan lines. Heavy on saturated rose, cyan, and purple.

• Aretha Shell Ghost in the Shell inspired cyberpunk effect with color grading, hex grid, and data streams

• Chrome Protocol 3D stacked targeting array — 7 concentric rings raymarched in Z with an orbiting camera, live 7-segment audio readout, rotating HUD panels, hexagonal background grid, and a spectrum-bar strip that replaces the original rolling blocks. Bass breathes the ring thickness and camera orbit, mids drive rotation speed, treble fractures the grid with glitch bands.

Energy

Plasma-like motion — pulses, arcs, and charge fields that don't tie to a color scheme.

• Plasma Sigil Holographic PlasmaZones icon rendered as a glowing energy sigil: five zone rectangles from the app icon are procedurally recreated with signed distance fields and animated with gradient energy flow, racing perimeter pulses, and energy bridge connections through layout dividers; bass pulses the sigil and expands the glow, mids cycle the gradient palette, treble spawns edge sparks along the icon strokes

• Prismata Unified crystalline prismatic overlay — facets and caustics flow across zones; sound reactive; highlighted zones get chromatic fracture and inner resonance

  PlasmaZones
• Pulse Flow Lightweight energy aura: zone borders emit flowing energy that spirals inward through ping-pong feedback, building smooth radiant halos; bass drives emission surges and radial pulses, mids shift the spiral topology and cycle colors, treble injects spark traces; designed for full-screen performance

Organic

Soft edges, flow, and drift. Slower cadence that reads as ambient rather than reactive.

• Berry Drift Organic metaball blobs in berry and violet tones with mint sparkles, bubblegum glow halos, and a deep purple-black backdrop

3D

Multipass effects with a depth buffer. Camera-stable scenes that feel like a window into a bigger world.

• Neon City Fly past an infinite grid of pixel buildings lit by cascading neon signs and drifting street lights. Bass lifts the fog and pumps the street lights, treble flickers the signs, mids cycle the window palette — camera stays stable. Adapted from 'Neon City' by nikitamashchenko (Shadertoy). Enable CAVA audio visualization in settings.
