Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)A patch migrating the #kernel build configuration tool "gconf" to #gtk3 has reached #linux-next and thus is slated for inclusion in #LinuxKernel 6.17:
MonokaShare of programming languages used by #GTK3 / #GTK4 applications (2025-07-12):

sriBeing a mod on /r/gnome reddit can be pretty entertaining. I have this person who was unhappy that a #gtk3 converted to a #libadwaita app. When I told him that software freedom is you have the ability to fork and maintain the gtk3 version yourself this is the response:
'''so software freedom is the freedom of developers to sneak into my house, paint the walls a different colour and move my furniture about however they like without warning?'''
Uh, yeah. K.
@onbywill Thanks for the libadwaita website. That's very comprehensive!
I assume that you are aware of the awesome #GTK3 / #GTK4 applications list, which currently contains 350 #libadwaita apps. https://github.com/valpackett/awesome-gtk
Max IorshGlad to announce that #FontForge is officially migrating to GTK3 UI toolkit, starting with this PR: https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/pull/5546
Special thanks to Joey Sabey https://github.com/Omnikron13 for his important proof-of-concept and GTK3 infrastructure work.
Special thanks to Fredrick Brennan @copypaste for his inspirational (really, no sarcasm) article at https://github.com/MFEK/docs/blob/master/doc/Why.md
Hi @robert , thanks for #ReCast. It is great to see a tool for audio/video #transcription. We'd like to include it in the Awesome #GTK4 #GTK3 applications list [2]. Which category would ReCast best fit? The best category seems to be #SocialSciences as transcription is used in qualitative research [1], but the examples on the recast website suggest more general purpose. Which category would you choose?

Linux und IchMit GTK3-Apps wie Firefox oder GIMP wirkte GNOME bisher oft uneinheitlich, wenn es um die Akzentfarbe ging. Die Erweiterung adw-gtk3 Colorizer schafft Abhilfe: Sie passt GTK3-Anwendungen automatisch an die GNOME-Akzentfarbe an. Installation, Kompatibilität mit Flatpak & Co. im Artikel:

Libadwaita-Akzentfarben von GNOME 47+: Einheitlicher Look für GTK-Anwendungen wie Firefox und GIMP – Linux und Ich
Einheitliches GTK-Design unter GNOME 47: Mit der neuen adw-gtk3 Colorizer-Erweiterung passen sich jetzt auch ältere GTK3-Anwendungen wie Firefox und GIMP automatisch an die modernen Akzentfarben von Libadwaita an.

Tonton Fred 
Mastodon, j'en appelle à ta magie. J'ai quelques applications en gtk3 (dont l'émulateur Vice) sur mon MS-Windows 11 qui ne sont pas en thème sombre, contrairement au reste de l'interface.
Aurais-tu une solution pour harmoniser tout cela ?
