The end of the nice GTK button
A lot of comments in this thread are negative. As a developer using GTK4 and libadwaita, and as a user that uses gnome, I really like the changes. GTK4 brings some much needed changes, and the major bugs like listview scrolling being broken or bad text rendering on non-hidpi displays suck, but both have people working on fixing them. Libadwaita is a huge improvement, and makes it way easier to build good apps.<p>As for themes, I quite like the new libadwaita theme, and prefer it to the default GTK theme. You&#x27;re free to disagree, but you can&#x27;t say your opinion is correct, nor can I.<p>Keep in mind that libadwaita is an optional library _specifically for gnome apps_. If you don&#x27;t like gnome, don&#x27;t use libadwaita. If you want the widgets from libadwaita, but don&#x27;t like the styling, then either copy the code (it&#x27;s open source, fork it!), or use libadwaita and disable the libadwaita stylesheet (and add styling for the widgets that aren&#x27;t part of GTK).
