Is there some way to write tests for gtk-rs applications? I mean for the GUI itself. There are more and more moving parts, and I‘d like to have tests for the GUI to avoid regressions…

I too have a BGR monitor and would like to raise awareness that not all Linux apps properly support different subpixel arrangements yet!

- Electron apps do it wrong.
- JetBrains IDEs do it wrong.
- GTK apps do it sometimes? It's weird.

Firefox and Qt apps are perfect for me 👌🏻

I wish GTK + libadwaita based apps would work on Android, iOS, etc.

It would make it so could stick to writing GTK + libadwaita apps — rather than having to switch to something else when I want to create something cross-platform.

GNUnet Messenger API: May 2026

Hi again, besides a few minor fixes in libgnunetchat that I missed before the last release of version 0.7.0 in March, I worked on the GTK4 of the...

#GTK & #libadwaita on #Linux (setup) is as simple as typing some commands.

Since you don't want IDEs and want something simple, I wouldn't recommend #GNOME Builder.

Gtk apps can run on Windows, but the process is quite a hassle. I recommend you use "gvsbuild" since I also use it.

Since I'm using Python, I had to setup "pyinstaller" (again a hassle for the first time). If Python, use "uv".

Anyone has any good recommendations to get started writing app #GUI?

Ideally I want something
- Simple. I want to avoid CMake and/or IDEs.
- Batteries included. I don’t want to deal with graphics APIs or window management.
- Cross platform.

I like the look of #Gnome apps, so I had a look at #GTK but the dependency tree seemed annoyingly deep (maybe I’m being unrealistic here, I have no frame of reference).

#Qt felt too weird with the Q_OBJECTs.

With a lot of help from the community, today I hopefully fixed a nasty and elusive FontForge crash which I have been chasing for months. https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/5786
