A Frutiger Aero / Y2K desktop for Hyprland on Arch Linux
Glossy glass, bubbles, animated skies and a phone-shaped control center — the optimistic computer future of 2005, running on a modern Wayland compositor.
The interface comes in English and Spanish — the installer asks which one you want, and
aero-lang en|esswitches it later.
| Animated wallpapers | Four original looping scenes (sky, coral sunset, lagoon, chrome), each with a day and a night version |
| Themes | Blue, red, green and black accents, light and dark modes, and your own custom themes made in the Theme Studio |

| TELEMETRY HUD | A side panel with CPU, RAM, GPU, network and battery |
| Displays panel | Windows-style Win + P: laptop only, duplicate, extend, external only, and drag to arrange — automatic on plug / unplug |
| Performance profiles | Full, Balanced and Lite, switchable at any time |
| Bilingual | English or Spanish interface: the installer asks, and aero-lang en|es switches it later |
