Evolve - A brand new GNOME Theme Manager - Lemmy.zip

Using a YouTube link intentionally— better people redirect to their own choice piped or invidious instance that they’re logged into (various redirect tools available)

Where’s the git repo?
According to video it’s wip/coming
Glad this exists, but I am worried with the way GNOME is going that this might not be worth it in the long run.
Which way is GNOME going? I’m out of the loop.
Gnome seems to be getting better with each update, I’m not really sure what you mean?
YouTube links are fine - I hate those stupid bots that spam posts about such links.

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include “everything ad-free”. And there’s no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

Weird, the video announcement states the software is FOSS. I think that’s regarding his YouTube content and not his stuff. The video also states github is wip
He’s Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.

on its way

Should be there before release. Shaaaady

before release

According to OP it hasn’t been released yet.

It’s available for download. And if you want it ad free, you pay for it.
Pretty certain the ads are about his YouTube videos
So what’s the difference between the paid and the free download links?
I don’t think there is any, he just offered an early release to his Patron supporters (he didnt put the repo up yet)

So why have two links to the same thing?

S K E T C H Y

But they get that schweet, schweet ad revenue… hatchacha~!
Assuming it’s gpl or something, you only need to provide the source with binary distributions of the product. Anyone in the patreon would have access to the source (I’m assuming)
I don’t use gnome; can someone who does plz tell me what style that is? The color scheme is Everforest, but what’s the rest of the style called? It’d look good on rofi & polybar.
Think it’s from this video
The PERFECT Customization for GNOME!

Please don’t theme our apps

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

Did you read your own letter? It’s not relevant here.

If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us. However, if you change things like stylesheets and icons, you should be aware that you’re in unsupported territory. Any issues you encounter should be reported to the theme developer, not the app developer.

I don’t know whether you’re shitting on theme developers or GTK app developers with your comment, but they explicitly state that they think theming is fine, they’re just tired of people reporting theme problems as app problems. It’s a completely reasonable take.

It’s more targeted towards the DE developers.

Some use gnome but with their own theme and it can make normal apps look broken.

You can see this if you use an Elementary OS application while still using the default gnome theme as an example.
