  • quick question, is the look of the gtk3/4 theming final? Or is it still a work in progress

    • Are you interested in contributing? You can find the source code for theme generation here and here.

      • i absolutely would if i could, but i looked at the code and it is thoroughly incomprehensible to me.

        I was just going to suggest what ways the gtk3/4 theme could look better:

        • make gtk3 and 4 match libatwaita, except for the colours. (easier to do because adw-gtk3 already exists)

        • make the applications match comic's styling closer.

        also if the reason that they look that way is to ensure that every app looks right and that there is no breakage, that's understandable, this is just my 2c, feel free to ignore it

        • Did you not read the blog update? That is exactly what the blog update covered... The user's theme colors are applied to the Adwaita theme used by GTK4/libadwaita, and GTK3 theme support is provided by adw-gtk3.

          • i did, i must have missed that, i may be stupid

          • alright, i remembered why i believed that the theme wasn't basic libadwaita, i thought that because the screenshot doesn't use colors the same way libadwaita does, which misled me, and because the blog doesnt specify how the apps are themed.

            But more importantly how would i be able to contribute to the french translation
