Harmonic Orb — Calm interactive variant inspired by myCat

[Freeky7819]

Hey everyone 👋

I absolutely loved the idea behind myCat, so I tried making a calm,
artistic spin on it — a Harmonic Orb.

It's a soft, breathing orb that reacts to hover and double-clicks with four gentle actions:

• 🌀 Resonance Pulse
• 🌸 Thought Bloom
• 🔮 Mirror Sync
• 🌙 Calm Reset

Fully transparent, perfectly round, and always on top.
Made in PySide6, inspired by your original pet concept.

No external dependencies beyond PySide6.
Feel free to reuse any part — this was just for fun and inspiration. ✨

Code looks like good 👍 Good idea!

I checked and found no vulnerabilities, but I was unable to run on linux.

AttributeError: PySide6.QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(): 'flags' is not a Qt property or a signal

Thanks for checking! I just pushed a small fix — the original code was using the flags= keyword in the QWidget constructor, which isn’t valid in PySide6 (Linux is stricter about that).

I haven’t personally tested it on Linux yet, but based on the Qt docs and similar projects it should now work fine. If you still encounter any issues, please let me know — happy to tweak it further.

at any time! I looked at QT and really liked it, especially in terms of cross-platform on windows macos. Thank you for opening my eyes 🐱

Glad it helped! Qt can feel a bit verbose at first, but once you realize how consistent it is across platforms, it’s like unlocking a universal UI dialect 😄”
