gtk3, gtk4 (probably?) qt, qt in flatpak, gtk3 in flatpak, gtk4 in flatpak (probably)… I’m just not fighting it anymore
doesn’t help half of electron apps decide to theme themselves. It’s a massive pain on Windows too.
Unfortunately, the issue is more widespread in the world of UI design. Even in closed ecosystems like Windows, you have a random mix of different UI styles, and this cancer called “flat design” makes things even worse. Carl Svensson published a nice blog post about exactly this issue a couple of years ago: https://datagubbe.se/decusab/
As someone using a tiling wm idk what these buttons are for.
my condolences
in fact, i removed the top bar from all apps… and i’m on kde btw
Heh, everyone here seems to be coming from kde or gnome, and I’m over here with xfce like that guy with the bong while the two girls fight.
Meanwhile MATE chads just sitting in the attic listening to the chaos.
MATE is to GNOME as Ash’s Pickachu is to Raichu.
I’m not sure I have a point, but the analogy rings true I think.
Idk about Pokemon so I have no clue LMAO.
MATE is a fork of gnome 2, made by people who did not like the paradigm gnome3 was heading towards. So, much like Ash’s pickachu which never evolves to Raichu, Mate remains “old”.
MATE is the first of four “Screw that we’re forking GNOME” distros.
Perfection is a mindset to make you unhappy. Let it go.
Happiness is a distraction from perfection, let it go!
Pissing is a scam to make you drink more, let it go
Wait… Pissing IS letting it go, how would I let go of letting my piss go?
You have to let it be… taken in.
It’s can go both ways for sure… maybe not in this case but…
the anti-libadwaita people were right all along.
this from the people that stonewalled server side decorations in wayland
I’m very glad to see projects like libadapta as themable alternatives to the libadwaita dogma. I’ve painstakingly themed my desktop to look and feel like a cohesive, modernized NT 4 workstation and should seriously consider contributing to libadapta in anticipation of libadwaita coming to more and more programs.
I am very stubborn about my computer’s GUI, but also hopeful the community can bring back theming where GNOME is dead set against it. If they can make WindowBlinds for modern Windows, the equivalent in Linux is definitely achievable.
All my homies hate libadwaita it’s bad.
A bit off-topic, but I really appreciate projects that respect their upstreams, and attempt to improve in their own ways (from libadapta’s README):
LibAdwaita has the right to be what it wants to be and to not support what it doesn’t want to support.
Oh I am so looking into this.
seems like libadwaita-without-adwaita aur package but for Linux Mint
Throw a JetBrains app in there for a complete monstrosity 🤣
As a Gnome’r I tend to lean towards apps that I can make look like they belong, but I put up with JetBrains because there tools work really well for my needs
You can enable native system borders in JetBrains apps. Look for it in the settings!
I think that’s gone since the “Fisher Price” UI revamp…
Where tools?
eye twitches
I honestly don’t mind such a fragmentation if at a functional level all window decorations behave the same. Otherwise it’s mental
I was under the impression that one could force these to be themed, is that inaccurate? KDE Fedora btw.
They all look great man, congrats
adw-gtk3 contributes a small bit to the consistency of window decorations
To be fair, this screenshot also does not have the default adwaita icon pack selected but instead something what I think might be the Mint theme(?)
