Very glad to see this soft fork of #LibAdwaita called #LibAdapta from the #LinuxMint folks! AFAICT, it adds theme support again. MATE and other projects using GTK will surely benefit. ​

#GNOME is replacing the outdated Totem video player with the modern Showtime in its upcoming release, GNOME 49.

This shift aligns with GNOME's focus on GTK4 and Libadwaita for a more intuitive user experience.

While Showtime lacks DVD playback, it offers a sleek, distraction-free design.

Not gonna lie, the new slightly colder colours in GNOME 48 are something you don't really notice until you open something still using the GNOME 47 runtime, and realise just how much nicer the newer palette is for what is, on paper, such a small difference.

#GNOME #libadwaita

Years ago, while searching for a nice and simple music player in Libadwaita, I came across Amberol.

Simple and does its job.

I have tried other music players in #Libadwaita, but none of them have really convinced me as much as Amberol (I still respect the devs and their work!)

For many years on Linux, from 2015 to 2023, I used Audacious, but I preferred to find something nicer and more in tune with the #GNOME design.

I have a question now, what music player do you use? (not necessarily in Libadwaita)

Does anyone with experience programming with #GTK #libadwaita know an article showing the (apparent) differences between how to build your UI? There seem to be at least two approaches, one with an .xml file where the UI is inherently detached from your code (like w/ Cambalache) and controlled via signals and… json? And the "classic" way of programming your GUI right in code.

Somewhat lacking information on what's the optimal approach. I only know the latter one due to working on Lutris.
