    I mean, this might be a bit more your fault in this case, but I agree with the sentiment.

    They’re always changing something about the CSS sheets, and I find it a pain to develop for, granted it’s been a few years since I last touched it, and on a very hobbyist level at that. I quickly switched to Qt for that project. Now I use wxWidgets, which I guess just uses GTK, but I like that I don’t have to directly deal with GTK.

      GTK itself is a massive pain to get theming working stably. I recently did an update and no I am missing minimize and maximize on all my GTK apps, Im sure the issue is with some config I made at some point, but the fact that this can be an issue at all and be so hard to diagnose is really, really dumb

    Is this GTKs fault, or the app developers, or your distribution? Or maybe you misconfigured something.

      probably both, GTK and Me problem, GTK because it use inconsistent CSS property tag, Me because I don’t know what that tag is

        Do you know which GTK version you had installed before updating?

    gtk2 was ok, they should have just stopped there, not reinvent it every few years.

      At least later GTK fixed the whole file picker thing, though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
