Arcy - Arc Inspired Windows 10 Theme

-

Windows 10 has always lacked the dark theme I needed so I had created one for my personal use and thought that it would be worth sharing so here it is - Arcy.

This theme is inspired by Arc theme, with minor tweaks.

Why use a dark theme at all?

Boring answer - 
Many of us use our PC's in dimly lit environments so the blinding light from a laptop or desktop screen is really hard on our eyes and this can be decreased by using a dark theme on our systems.
Real answer -
Looks cool. 😁😁

How is this dark theme different?

As we all know, Windows 10 already has a dark theme option in its personalization settings but its quite lacking and doesn't even theme the most-used everyday Windows programs. So, this theme tries to do that by implementing Windows's high contrast options. There's also another option - Skinpacks which offer greater customization but I'd not recommend them as they modify system files and are quite risky.

How to get it?

Just download the file below, extract it on your PC and double-click on the Arcy.theme file. Also go through the README.md file once for some more information. You can delete the downloaded files after the theme has been applied.

Hopefully It will be useful for you and if you have any feedback feel free to comment.

Remove Screen Flickering OBS 💻📹

-
I was recently trying out OBS for my new YouTube Channel ! but faced weird flickering issues when recording, after a lot of tweaking I found the solution.  You have to turn of Vsync on your system. On KDE the steps are as follows: Open System Settings Then go to Display and Monitor section Click on Compositor Here, change Tearing Prevention (vsync) to Never This should do the trick. Try again and you shouldn't face flickering issues anymore.

Enable Dark Mode On Chrome Everywhere 🌜🌎

Preview of GitHub with Dark Mode There are lots of extensions out there that turn your web browsing experience much better if you prefer dark backgrounds (who doesn't right?). My favourite one is Dark Reader but there's just one problem, mobile versions of chrome don't support extensions. This trick will help you turn on dark mode everywhere. Steps: Visit Chrome flags by entering chrome://flags/ into the address bar. Search for dark in the flags search bar. On Desktop versions you'll have to enable the flag "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents" which is tagged #enable-force-dark . On Android versions you'll have to enable the flag "Darken websites checkbox in themes setting" which is tagged #darken-websites-checkbox-in-themes-setting . Restart Chrome and enjoy the dark side. That's all, Thank you for reading. Hopefully this post was helpful to you, see you in the next one.

Add Two Numbers Without Arithmetic Operators 🙅‍♂️➕

What if you are given a problem where you have to add two integers but you can't use any arithmetic operators ( + - * / % // ** ), like LeetCode's problem #371 . How do we approach this problem? Answer: Bit manipulation Problems like this can be solved using bit-wise operators as basic mathematics rules work in the same way whether it be binary or decimal. All we have to do is: Figure out how the basic mathematical operation works step by step. Replicate these operators using bit-wise operators ( & | ~ ^ << >> ). In case of addition in decimal system the process looks something like this: If sum of two digits is less than 10 we add it to our sum. If sum is greater than 10 then we add the least significant bit to sum and carry 1 to next operation. When doing this operation in binary which bit-wise operators do we need? Let's look at an example: 2 + 1 = 3 2 in binary is 010 1 in binary is 001 3 in binary is 011 Which b
