Mending Wall – fixes common problems when using more than one desktop environment

Mending Wall is a Linux application to fix issues when hopping between multiple desktop environments, such as tiny/huge cursors, tiny/huge fonts, light/dark mode switches and scaling issues. It also tidies application menus, showing core applications in their native environment only.

After installing, launch Mending Wall and enable one or both of the features Mend Themes and Tidy Menus. Both are recommended. Once enabled, it will start doing its work, and you can log in to a second desktop environment.

If you have already logged in to a second desktop environment before running Mending Wall, so that your themes may be broken already, you will need to fix your themes manually through the settings of your desktop environment, but can enable Mending Wall to preserve those settings going forward.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Easy to use.
• Use GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, and Cinnamon on the same user account without broken themes and cluttered menus.
• Fixes common issues when hopping between desktop environments, such as tiny cursors, huge cursors, tiny fonts, huge fonts, unintended dark mode changes, icon changes, and scaling issues on HiDPI displays.
• Tidies menus to show core applications in their native desktop environment only. No more six terminals, five file managers, and three text editors.
