Inkscape Development Version Switches To Using GTK4

[Artim]

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.

To my knowledge, GTK 4 on Handbreak is deemed broken until they find the time to actually do the port. Last I checked it wouldn't even compile when set to GTK 4. So clearly this doesn't say anything.

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".

OBS never has and never will use GTK. v30 is based on Qt 6.

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.

You are the troll here.
1. it's 4 % on the desktop alone and most likely far beyond 80 % overall
2. backwards compatibility on Linux is far beyond that of macOS, which has 15 %. So your ridiculous rants just don't work if you can't even get such simple facts right.

AFAIK OBS is (still) Qt, not gtk, so your original theming position still stands. (they like the gnome HIG but dont have the expertise to migrate or maintain gtk versions of their software. Over time their design language may move closer to gnome, but without moving to gtk).

Not liking a theme is a valid preference. I dont really have a preference on this issue as I normally use the defaults so I havent used the dark theme enough to form any opinion.

Heh, that's why it's so consistent, thanks for the heads up.

I feel like they straight-up don't care about Linux, you can tell by their mentality not to include advanced stuff because "the user doesn't understand" when the request is a simple "add estimation of filesize based on what's been encoded".

Have font rendering and theme compatibility with GTK3 been fixed yet?

Im not sure what issues you are having, but at least for the gtk4 applications im using theming (under cosmic) and fonts have been fine

RIP

Now that's not productive software.


Thanks, no.

I just watched a video with LibreOffice using gtk4. Looks great i think.

You didn't expect the question to be in good faith did you? You should know phoronix better.

And that's really opens questions -was there any reason to drop class QRegExp and inrosuce QRegularExpression between Qt5 and Qt6?

Huh?

qt5compat is there to facilitate porting, not for sticking to deprecated APIs. QRegExp will likely get completely removed by Qt 7.

In case you are worried, QRegularExpression was already in Qt 5, QRegExp was deprecated due to problems:
