Thank You ! 
I had to enable the dark theme option to get the text to display properly in settings. Theme Bug!
Your very welcome and glad you got that sorted out!
UB 24.04, pretty close to default Pocillo theme except that I removed the plank and some widgets/applets I wouldn’t use. WeatherShow in the left corner, Budgie Menu and three pinned app-launchers in the middle. The Firefox theme is “Brown Bag”. Night Light is always on at 5400K.
I use a desktop PC with an external monitor, so for brightness control I installed ddccontrol and created a couple of keyboard shortcuts. (I usually keep my monitor at its lowest brightness setting, but like to bump it up to about 15% or 20% when watching movies.)
My keyboard shortcuts for brightness control (after installing ddccontrol from the App Center):
Alt-F11: ddccontrol -r 0x10 -W -5% dev:/dev/i2c-4
Alt-F12: ddccontrol -r 0x10 -W +5% dev:/dev/i2c-4
(This works with my LG monitor, which is detected as /dev/i2c-4, and where 0x10 refers to the brightness level – other monitors might need some adjustments to these commands.)

Oops! It seems I have expended my entire love quota for the day at post 276. To be continued . . . 
Some really nice design choices up there in the timeline.
I have this mischievous notion that with the use of keyboard shortcuts it’s possible to achieve a desktop without any panels, icons, or widgets at all – just the wallpaper or a blank void of a suitable color – but I think I’ll stick with my top panel and clock on the desktop.
As for my setup, the top panel is now set to be transparent all the time, and the items in the center are now: Places, Recently Used, Budgie Menu, Tilix, and Firefox. (I briefly considered using a side-panel for those, but the mouse-travel distance would be greater compared to their current top-center location.)
I have set up some keyboard shortcuts for a few other items such as the calculator and the system monitor.
Also, I have hidden the date from ShowTime by setting its font size to 1.
Mr. Storm, you have posted many nice screenshots, but I especially appreciate this pairing of wallpaper and font. 
Nothing interesting. I’m a Mac user since 2006, use Macbook pro for work everyday, thats how I feel home

It’s a shame I can’t upload a video here given this is essentially an active desktop. That is, the fireplace is burning, the clock is ticking… The image of the room is the actual desktop background. The fireplace is a picture-in-picture “pop-out” of a burning fireplace playing on YouTube (functionality implemented by the browser itself – I’m using Opera). The clock above the fireplace is a Vala app that I recently developed that can be fully controlled from the command line to display any size and having any clock face style imaginable (the clock face is just any image of a clock’s face that can be found on the web – even a straight-on photo taken of a clock hanging on the wall in your house could theoretically serve as a clock face image if you were to edit out its hands and apply transparency where needed). When I have the app all ready to go, I’ll post a link to it here… I have to say that it’s much more relaxing to work on the computer in my office now that I have a fireplace.

Sure.
But there’s a lack of pretty people (men and/or women) chatting on sofas — even if it disturbs the work. 
Could you do a tuto?
Congratulations anyway!
