@rl_dane An abacus has significant design advantages over #libadwaita so long as the theme is joined with the TK :')
By theme, I'm talking about basic things like widget sizes, basic background/foreground color selections, and disabling #ClientSideDecorations . I understand developers' frustration with full custom CSS, but missing these things is sad.

Oh, look GIMP's Open dialog box has crashed.
No worries, just close it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU CAN'T CLOSE IT?!?
THERE ARE NO WINDOW DECORATIONS! IT'S ALL CLIENT-SIDE!!!This moment of utterly unnecessary stupidity was brought to you by #ClientSideDecorations.

Some really smart industrial designer somewhere, somewhen:
I'm going to design a really novel ballpoint pen mechanism where you click on the button to engage the pen, but then click on the pen clip to release it. We'll make millions!!!Me:
- Grabs pen
- Click, engages pen
- Holds the pen to write something
- Click, disengages pen
- uh...
- Click, engages pen
- Holds pen
- Click, disengages
Great, now I have to think about how I hold your precious pen. lol

P.S., just realized that this is totally an analogy for modern UI Design, particularly "Client Side Decorations" (titlebar colonization by cruft, lol) and the horrid shoestring scrollbars that are so popular now.
One design worked PERFECTLY for fifty years, and some young person had to come along and "innovate" it without considering how it would affect the users.
Every. Dang. Time, people!
