General

Why 'fooyin'?

The name is based on 'foo' from foobar and the chinese 音 (yīn), meaning 'sound'. It's also a play on 福音 (fúyīn), meaning 'good news'.

Why doesn't fooyin use my system theme?

As fooyin is built using Qt6, it will follow the system Qt style. If you're using a non-Qt DE such as GNOME or Cinnamon, you will need to install something like qt6ct.
