Inkscape Development Version Switches To Using GTK4

[Monsterovich]

Inkscape is now on gtk4.

RIP

Now that's not productive software.

You can even build libreoffice with gtk4 UI.

Thanks, no.

Thanks User from Germany. Stay classy.

Why is Inkscape not productive software? What do you define as productive software? It would seem to me that you don't even know what being productive means

There is such a thing called backward compatibility, but GTK developers are not competent enough and don't know about it.

Backwards compatibility only has drawbacks. If you never break compatibility, you end up with a historic pile of garbage like Windows. Thanks, but no thanks,

I think we have all figured that out by now.

You spend all your life filled with hate and focussing on things you dont like.

I would have thought you would prefer to be happy and run freely in the fields of the posts on KDE6 or Cosmic, or some Window manager, but alas you pollute our existence with your hate instead.

As much as I like those type of comments, let's be honest: GTK 4 in dark mode, at least for me, is very... UGH.
For example, I saw HandBrake becoming this weird "shades of grey" instead of the "consistent gray" that GTK 3 theming was.

Skill issue maybe?
I'm open to suggestion and opinions.

EDIT: Well, OBS uses GTK4 and I think it's beautiful, so ultimately I think that HandBrake devs just don't give a shit about "LinGUI".

The main complaint about CSD is that it is not switchable in the framework. You have to patch libgtk3 to disable it, and sometimes even that is not enough. See:

https://github.com/lah7/gtk3-classic...ent-1649301015

That's an issue of that GTK+ 3 fork, not of CSD or GTK.

I won't repeat my arguments about CSD being generally anti-pattern, which breaks the behavior of window managers and their visual appearance.

Well thank god you won't elaborate on those lies.

It's more productive than anything you have done and will do in your entire life though...

If you don't know what you are talking about, maybe just don't talk at all. Or at least buy yourself a dictionary so you may one day actually understand the big words you are throwing around.

Obviously he doesn't. He's a pathetic moron. "productive" for him merely means "fitting into my narrow-minded world view" and has absolutely nothing to do with productivity.

Facepalm. Are you really that stupid or are you just a troll?

An OS which components don't have backward compatibility deserves its 2% on the market.

But I think it's some kind of intentional sabotage of GNU/Linux distros.
