Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.

Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

A patch migrating the #kernel build configuration tool "gconf" to #gtk3 has reached #linux-next and thus is slated for inclusion in #LinuxKernel 6.17:

OK, so now that I use sway, gnome apps now feel like they are allowed to show their awful not asked for, non Linux like CSD's again.

Is there a package or a way in sway to completely and utterly destroy CSD's?

I have gtk3-nocsd, but I'm guessing these are gtk4 apps, I also have set -gx GTK_CSD 0 set in my fish config. These packages are not ones I can avoid.

Mastodon, j'en appelle à ta magie. J'ai quelques applications en gtk3 (dont l'émulateur Vice) sur mon MS-Windows 11 qui ne sont pas en thème sombre, contrairement au reste de l'interface.

Aurais-tu une solution pour harmoniser tout cela ?

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

Are you @vala_lang or the Vala community aware of any #Vala + #GTK applications that are missing from the list [1]?

(#GTK4 or #GTK3, active projects, open source, in a working state)

[1] https://github.com/valpackett/awesome-gtk

@Linux_Is_Best The list is not biased, because it aims at listing only #GTK3 and #GTK4 applications. And these applications do exist. Fact is that there are over 100 active open source applications that use the #Rust bindings of #GTK.

I am not sure if #QT has that many projects using the #Rust bindings of QT. I doubt that. Your statement that "developments are choosing Rust and QT over Gtk" seems to be unfounded and incorrect.

@BrodieOnLinux

Just upgraded #mobian #Trixie and all the #GTK4 apps have lost the ability to enter #DarkMode. At first I was blaming #Carburetor (the #tor toggler) but no, it's everything. #GTK3 apps like Geary are working fine though️

Did this happen to anyone else? Anyway, in the meantime maybe I should just make light of it ️

(PS: I hope I got my GTKs right someone please confirm)

Did you know you can download devhelp packages from our API browsing website valadoc.org and have them all locally and usable with the Devhelp app? Sadly Devhelp is not much developed anymore (it used to be the primary offline docs app for #GNOME) but hopefully we get at some point a modern solution again! Until then, use devhelp, it might look old, but still works perfect!

#Tuxguitar est en Java
j'aime pas le #Java !

Bon, j'avais débuté une appli en #Python
#GTK3 pour visualiser les Gammes / Accords #Guitare
Tout en Canvas calculés
je viens de découvrir que j'aurais obtenu une meilleure interactivité avec #mathplotlib qui connaît des frames d'intégration (pour ne pas utiliser TK)

Bon bein je vais m'y remettre...

#GIMP3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
Today marks the beginning of the string freeze for the long-awaited #GNU Image Manipulation Program 3.0 #opensource image editor release as one of the leading free software alternatives to Adobe #Photoshop.
#GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to #GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to #Python3 support, and a wealth of other improvements.

Hey #AskFedi,

Is there any way to run #Firefox (specifically) without fractional scaling / in some kind of "Native DPI mode?"

For QT apps, there's QT_USE_PHYSICAL_DPI=1 and QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING=0

I can't find anything similar for #GTK3
