oh no, somebody mentioned https://stopthemingmy.app on reddit again 😬

#StopThemingMyApp

Please don’t theme our apps

An open letter from independent app developers to the wider GNOME community

@gregorni The main issue at hand is actually that Fretboard fetches the blue accent color on the finger dots from the contemporary Adwaita stylesheet. That color isn't defined in most custom stylesheets, namely the default one in GTK, which is basically old Adwaita in a cryonic chamber. So when the color for the dots is looked up, nothing is found, and they become transparent. The app breaks completely. And people don't realize why.

This system just doesn't work at scale.

#StopThemingMyApp

Oh, and it also contains this. This should save both me and people with misconfigured systems from a lot of headache.

#StopThemingMyApp

Seems like somebody managed to break Fretboard again, so here’s yet another reminder that the GTK_THEME environment variable should not be used to restyle your system for the sake of aesthetics. It’s intended for debugging. Do not set it to *anything* for day-to-day usage, and keep it in a dusty corner in the bottom of the drawer, where it belongs. Enjoy a functioning and predictable system 🙂

#GNOME #GTK #StopThemingMyApp

@cassidy GNOME developers would say Dark Reader is a hack, it's bad, sucks and humiliates UI designer and you should #stopthemingmyapp

Tried a @kde app for the first time in a while, looks like the theming situation there is not getting better. This app is literally unusable on stock @fedora 37...

I assume Fedora's downstream stylesheet is at fault here? I really wish they would stop theming Qt, it's not making anything more consistent and just breaks stuff #stopthemingmyapp

I think #Nobara is just not for me. I used #Fedora for over a year now, and I did dislike how it tries to be as FOSS as possible, and it's not easy to just not use proprietary software for me, unfortunately. But Nobara is just too much. It installs so many useless things I would simply never use. And I also thought that GNOME ISO would come with actually default #GNOME, but it still had few themes preinstalled, which I personally oppose because it creates the #StopThemingMyApp scenario
@dukethereal @alatiera #stopthemingmyapp is a request not a demand, it's not a mandatory or forceful thing to end anyone's "freedom", it's a polite educational resource demonstrating the pitfalls of custom themes. This stylesheet is ending people's freedom to select text and still read what it says. A very reasonable criticism of both theming and not testing the thing in any reasonable depth before shipping it. "Anti-user aesthetic tweaks" is hell of a freedom
