This is giving me warm vibes, so I’d love to find a theme that is like this. Does anyone know any? I’m using GNOME, but any DE that can pull this off is fine.

Man, my tastes are weird because as much as I LOVE dark mode, I would absolutely rock a theme like this.
A lot of the suggestions in the comments kinda miss the mark… What we want is a very flat 2D-ish theme with over exaggerated shadowing, simple icons, and gentle rounded text areas and windows. None of the elements give the appearance of 3D curves or crevices. They remind me more of stickers.
One thing that bugs me with that mockup (and sorry because you won’t be able to unsee it) is the inconsistency in shadows - some buttons have it, some don’t. Some icons have it, some don’t.
It is otherwise a really clean and nice layout. I dig the retro warm vibes.
The buttons with the shadow are the ones that will work with the return/enter key. It’s intentional and a convention from early Mac OS.
This design is basically a color version of the early Mac desktop. With vector designs that are used on the current MacOS.
it seems like a generated image possibly which is why the subtle styling is inconsistent (not that it matters).
i don’t hate the non-shadow vs shadow effect tho… maybe just windows could be shadowed? or maybe the shadow could be like ellipses and indicate that something opens a dialog/new thing instead of a single file?
Consistent font, text readable, pixel perfect consistency on close / maximize / minimize buttons. Definitely not (completely) AI-generated.
Yeah, I think the same - AI generated.
Shadow on the active window and maybe the selected icon could look nice. Likewise, on a button that is selected or hovered over.
