I was under the impression Firefox was not using GTK anymore (anywhere!).
But if they do, i hope they'll change to Qt...
$ cat `ps ax | grep chrome | awk '{print "/proc/"$1"/maps"}'` | awk '/gtk/{print $6}' | sort -u
/usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0.2404.27
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/gtk30.mo
/usr/share/themes/Greybird/gtk-3.0/gtk.gresource
$ cat `ps ax | grep firefox | awk '{print "/proc/"$1"/maps"}'` | awk '/gtk/{print $6}' | sort -u
/opt/firefox/libmozgtk.so
/usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so.0.2404.27
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/gtk30.mo
/usr/share/themes/Greybird/gtk-3.0/gtk.gresource
I use the official builds.

What's so good about libQt as opposed to libgtk aside from differences in font rendering and dubious GTK file open/save dialogs? I'm genuinely curious.
What's funny is GTK programs like Firefox and Chrome can look off on GTK desktops that don't adhere to CSD like Mate and Cinnamon. A Qt Firefox or Chrome would probably look more native than the current versions on "traditional" styled desktops.

They use GTK for the File Chooser window and things like that. It's very distracting on my KDE Wayland desktop when I'm presented with that GNOME CSD bullcrap. I need to go back to using that SUSE Firefox AUR package. It really helps with the CSD bullcrap. Just in the past week I've downloaded a few things by accident because I instinctively clicked the save button because CSD bullcrap means the Save button is where Close is located on every goddamn thing else.

Dialog boxes, borders, and window controls can follow the style of the graphics toolkit. That's about it. It just makes everything look the same.

GTK apps are ugly as fuck, that's the main reason and they don't fit well on my Plasma Desktop.
Modern UIs don't fit on ugly and clutter jam like plasma. It's obvious.Last edited by arun54321; 14 April 2022, 09:19 AM.
