@gnome can I say what I do not like? Abandoning dark theme for everything except libadwaita GTK4 applications.

Want it or not, close to 80% of software is still on GTK3 or even GTK2. Without a dark theme for GTK3 GNOME switched from being the most consistent to the least consistent DE

@leniwcowaty @gnome many gtk3 apps also support dark mode. At least the frameworks support it well and you can implement it.

@lw64 @gnome yes, they support, absolutely! But in one of latest releases (I think it was GNOME 46 or 47) GNOME just removed the default Adwaita-dark gtk3 theme, leaving only Adwaita light theme. As a result, with the default theme in GNOME all libadwaita apps respect dark mode, but the "older" GTK3 apps have only light mode.
Which is bullshit.

@leniwcowaty @gnome that seems unintentional...

@lw64 @gnome how? Actively removing GTK3 default theme, that was there for a decade, was actively supported and maintained? For me that's very intentional
