#gtk2 — Public Fediverse posts

Am Freitag den PC frisch mit #ArchLinux installiert. Nach dem #AUR Befall habe ich zwar nichts schädliches gefunden, aber mir ist wohler, auf Nummer sicher zu gehen. Zumal der Torfkopp vorm Monitor es fertig brachte, sich sein /home-Verzeichnis zu löschen 🫣

Jetzt alles neu einrichten ermöglicht, wie jeder Neuanfang, bisheriges zu überdenken.

Z.B. #FreeFileSync – eines meiner wichtigsten Programme bisher – will ein uraltes, längst nicht mehr empfohlenes #gtk2 installieren. Da werde ich mir wohl eine neue Strategie überlegen.

Ah, a brave band of keyboard warriors has taken up the Sisyphean task of breathing life into #GTK2 with... highly visible apathy! 😆 No stars, no forks, but hey, at least it has a catchy name that's as memorable as a sneeze. 🤦‍♂️

@zquestz published an article on Gtk theming which I found fascinating. It is an overview of the kind of things you have to consider when trying to create your own theme for #Linux . He fusses over the little details that are very important when doing UI/UX design properly. He also made sure the themes worked properly on various Gtk desktop environments, including Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce (three of the best DEs, in my humble opinion).

He also mentions the qt6gtk2 plugin for Qt which I did not know about. It translates Gtk themes to Qt themes so all of your applications, whether they use Gtk or Qt, have the correct theme. This is extremely useful since the impedance mismatch between Qt and Gtk is the biggest source of UI/UX inconsistencies in Linux apps.

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.

Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

@sourcerer @vermaden The isse isn't necessarily Wayland but the #GNOME developers.
Just follow the story about the transition from #GTK2 -> GTK3 -> GTK4.

I found this read very interesting to understand the #GTK worlds development better:

@mntmn try a #GTK3 app, like evince. I think it's just #Firefox's fault for still using #GTK2 in this case.
