@gnome But will libadwaita ever be themeable?

@CarbonCarrot @gnome you can already do it

@tragivictoria @gnome …by either recompiling or overwriting adwaita. Or writing a custom gtk.css, which only gets you so far w/o ugly importance hackery
Show threadVictoria 🏳️‍⚧️Dec 3
@CarbonCarrot @gnome you realise you can just add theme to ~/.config/style.css, right? And it's going to work basically very similarly to gtk3. Instead of complaining on fedi you could as well just research the topic

@tragivictoria @gnome I don't think that lets you change everything w/o fighting adwaita for the highest specifity value, does it?

@CarbonCarrot @gnome do you want just theming or overwriting entire stylesheet?
Show threadCarbon CarrotDec 4
@tragivictoria @gnome theming, but I've tried to override parts of adw w/ gtk.css and didn't manage to do so. How about you link to an example?

@CarbonCarrot @gnome It's open source software, the power to change anything is just one git clone and recompile away :)

@FineFindus @gnome but compiling means patience and making toolchains toolchain. And don't you DARE break ABI compat by accident…
Show threadFineFindusDec 4

@CarbonCarrot @gnome There is no such thing as free lunch.

I've generally found GNOME apps/libraries incredibly easy to build (e.g. just click on 'Run' in builder). I would also be very surprised if you managed to break ABI by changing the CSS :)

@FineFindus @gnome Welp I would've taken the approach of loading CSS from a user defined path instead of always adwaita but yes
