How it shall look… # Linux & BSDs # Windows # macOS # State on Fedora 40 Workstation & XFCE Spin… # Screenshots taken from the GNOME bugtracker, copies to not stall their GitLab instance.

This is probably one of the most frustrating bug tracker threads to date...
"Your theme isn't FDO-compatible"
"We don't care, not our problem"
"Please remove the FDO-compatible marking on your theme"
"Sounds like a YOU problem"
"Its your theme"
"... bug closed"
I really like gnome the software, but I've started considering moving away from it after a decade simply because of how toxic and difficult gnome the project can be.
I also really like GNOME the software but I moved away a few months ago because of this.
As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now. They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.
Important features and bug fixes are always stuck in merge request limbo for years. VRR for Wayland got merged recently after 4 years and it's still experimental. DRM leasing is still missing on Wayland, KDE added it 3 years ago.
The final straw was when KDE announced HDR support last year I switched over because I knew GNOME would probably lag behind by months or even years.
Yes, not that nice, at least now it is re-opened.
And they added back Tango as a fallback and the bug is fixed because now its FDO-compatible... I am pretending the snark at the end by Jakob isn't there and its all good
Just a quick screenshot from Kate 24.04.80 (beta1 before 24.5.0) on Haiku, I'm not sure if Haiku respects the FDO naming spec, but atleast the icons aren't broken so fallback to the breeze icons for the ones not present in Haiku's icon set still seems to be fine. :)
Nice :) In my new post I did try the current KF5 Kate on Haiku, too, works. https://cullmann.io/posts/kde-applications-and-icons/
