    distaza, we already told you that changing colours is easier than ever with Adwaita, you can pick both whether it’s the light or the dark variant, and the accent colour, right from the control center, see https://release.gnome.org/47/

    I really also wonder why people bring up this topic again and again when it is super trivial to inject custom stylesheet into GTK apps.

  3. distaza

    If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it. I have thoughts about GTK but haven't mentioned it in any of that.

  4. distaza

    I am, admittedly, much more familiar with setting themes in Qt, less so GTK, but I do have working GTK themes. My GTK 3 applications are dark green.

  5. distaza

    I haven't used any GTK4 applications yet, but I imagine that they are similar.

    Yet again, GTA4 != LibAdwaita

  7. Link Mauve

    distaza, the other day you mentioned either Gajim or Dino, those are libadwaita applications, not GTK3.

  9. distaza

    When was the other day?

  10. Link Mauve

    Oh sorry, I confused you with someone else who had the exact same complaint on the 7th, in this very room.

  11. distaza

    I see. Well, just know that I don't have issue with those non-issues.

  12. distaza

    (Because, as you've said, there's none to be had there specifically)

  13. distaza

    I don't use a major desktop like KDE anymore, so it's possible my knowledge of user friendly theme configurators has dropped off too. I stopped using 'full' DEs around 2020.

  14. distaza

    I personally use files in /usr/local/share/themes or .local/share/themes ... and nothing has changed significantly there.
