#Adwaita is nice and all, but have we considered Adblueta? Adyellowta?

(Working on a little custom themes feature for my #gtk4 rss reader)

(Also should note that the sickass art in the second screenshot is by @konjak, follow him if you're not already!)

I am annoyed at my code right now. It shouldn’t be this hard to write a plugin system in #Rust

I am using #GTK4 subclassing for the #GUI and now, would like to setup plugin system which will host optional functionality.

I am (once again) working on a test editor for learning purposes and it doesn’t want to work.

GTK 4.18.3 is now available; this is a bug fix release of the stable branch of GTK, including fixes for Vulkan, accessibility, introspection annotations, HiDPI GL rendering on Windows, and macOS event handling.

You can read all the changes here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/a4033016969298dfedb5b96ae6fde41c332e3675

The main branch is now open for the next development cycle.

FLOWBLADE 2.20 released. This powerful video editor now uses SDL2 video playback for Flatpak on all systems with MLT 7.30 or higher. But video playback for native Wayland without XWayland or for GTK4 does not currently seem possible with SDL.

@GettingThingsGNOME @nekohayo I wanted to ask you about the status of #GTG 0.7 with the new core and #GTK4. Is the release still far away or rather close? The last comment on the related issue [1] was almost a year ago and it did not seem not to be too far away then. Thanks!

Turns out that if you have structured your file handling code correctly from the start, then implementing drag and drop is actually easier than anticipated.

Shoutout to @nakura for great DJ intros that are perfect for testing a waveform viewer.

GTK 4.18.1 is out! This is the first stable release of the 4.18 cycle, and includes a few last minute additions:

- fractional scaling support on macOS works again
- the Android backend uses GL rendering for top level surfaces

Plus, as usual, lots of bug fixes, performance improvements, and documentation updates.

You can download the release archive from the usual place: https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk/4.18/

Or you can wait until your distribution of choice is updated to ship GNOME 48.

is there somewhere i can find something like a "dos and don'ts of using #GTK4 and #adwaita"?

i've been reading through random issues and MRs on various #GNOME repos, and i'm finding some really useful comments about things that you should(n't) be doing. things like "using a listview inside a box is wrong and broken" - this is really useful knowledge, but i can't find it actually formally documented anywhere.

We are nearing the end of the development cycle leading to GTK 4.18, so here's a new snapshot: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/758eda9f62b48c5b4b76279d84065cd41eed731f

While we're at it, here's the latest GTK3 release: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/198aeace1e9e119c77f4d669bd8efdf337828ad1

Thanks to @everton137 I got a new testing device, a Thinkpad X220. The motivation is to have a common device that barely supports the emerging new baseline of GLES 3.0, needed e.g. for #firefox or #gtk4 (4.18) apps to have HW acceleration.

I'm very positively surprised just how well it runs with #gnome (nightly) - I used to have a X230 many years ago and I'm pretty sure watching youtube 1080p60 while compiling Mutter in the background didn't use to work so smoothly as it does right now for me.

I want to like Tuba, I really do, but it is SO ... SLOW. Not just in normal interaction (yes, that's slow), but when it goes to fetch new toots it just jumps out of the window for minutes at a time and due to the shit that is GNOME/Gtk4 that means all the window-level controls are dead: can't iconify, can't move it aside, ... and no, I don't use GNOME as an environmeng and tbh I don't understand why anyone does.

Whalebird is worse, performance-wise. Tokodon is at least as bad.

Is there no deck-style native Fediverse client for Linux? Preferably that is not based on Gtk4/anything GNOMEish?

initial UI for Ubuntu actually done.... looks quite disgusting tho right now

Finally completed Debian and Ubuntu sections... Will possibly actually open source it later this week after General and RHSA is actually done

Really like, that #fedora finally started to update the problem reporter to #gtk4 - was overdue, but it's good, that it's finally happening.

Acabei de começar um outro app, dessa vez um pouco mais ambicioso, pra usar no Linux. Uma caixa de ferramentas de coisas aleatórias pra usar em RPG. O nome do app vai ser Fortuna. Tem varias ideias mas a primeira vai ser implementar um gerador de tempo/clima que faça algum sentido.

A stack é aquela de sempre: #gtk4 #python #flatpak e seguindo a HIG do #gnome

It's been a while since I last showed the progress on my #audio waveform viewer here. The waveform display widget itself is slowly reaching quality levels I'm happy with - switching from software rendering to #OpenGL has really worked wonders for both the speed and the quality of the waveform rendering.

Now I just gotta write the rest of the app around it...

hi all
I’m excited to launch **Uruk Systemd Manager**, a modern **GTK4/libadwaita** GUI for managing **systemd** services on **GNU/Linux**. Easily **view, start, stop, restart, enable, disable services**, and check logs in real-time!

Get it now:
