Just made real list widget with ability to reorder items! Animations included! Used #libadwaita Tab widgets as a reference #Gtk #Vala

Is there any #GTK application that are already using the new GlobalShortcuts portal?

Last week Exercise Timer by Lőrinc Serfőző was accepted into Circle! It's a cute little app to create timers for high-intensity interval training

So… after probably running into every problem that currently exists in #KDE I can say that I start liking it, conceptionally.

In terms of app design it looks awfully cramped and "not good" compared to #libadwaita to put it mildly, but the desktop itself is kinda nice.~
Definitely gonna stick with Gnome apps, down to the calculator.

Now if we'd have KDE's features & stability but with #Gnome's GUI design (yet better theme-able) and written mainly in Rust… yeah… that would be nice.
#Linux

I miss a really good, modern, simple #mindmapping app for #linux, preferably made with #gtk4 and #libadwaita.

There's something really specific in GTK that bothers the crap out of me Modal windows in GTK adhere to the window controls settings, but only for the close button. If you have minimize/maximize it doesn't care about it. Which, like, yeah, it's a modal window. But if you disable your close button, modal windows suddenly have no way to be closed.

I personally would argue that either modal windows should have their own close button at the bottom of the window a la mobile design, or they should ignore the dconf setting and only top-level windows in GTK should adhere to disabling the close button (although it should continue to adhere to the left/right setting). It makes it extremely annoying on Gnome Mobile where the close button is disabled, so suddenly you have no way to close modal dialogs on a smartphone. Modal dialogs should absolutely not be using dconf to decide whether or not to have a close button because they're *attached* sub-windows.

It's the smallest thing ever, but it annoys me to no end. I'd actually disable the close button and only close windows from the overview if only modals didn't adhere to the same setting.

initial UI for Ubuntu actually done.... looks quite disgusting tho right now

Found a really cool app for Linux that's basically a libadwaita frontend to Wiktionary, it's caled Quick Lookup. It's on the AUR if you use Arch btw.

Man, when you find there is AdwInlineViewSwitcher but it is in only in libadwaita 1.7rc right now

Hello again #GNOME people!
Does anyone know how can I launch the app center in #python to perform a search (to add a quick link inside an app) ? Something distro-agnostic ? Do we have a Portal that could do something like that ?

I'm using #GTK4 #Libadwaita

Hey #GNOME developers; I could use a hand on something. I don't understand how I can create a Menu like the List COntacts By on the picture. It's been two hours trying to find example and docs; can't find anything useful, I probably just don't get it but yeah

If anyone could help me; or point me to the right direction; It would be aweful

Also, yes there is this page: https://docs.gtk.org/gio/class.MenuModel.html But it doesn't give my anything useful to actually create it...

Hey! Does anyone from #GNOME or that works with GNOME technologies know how I can make my #python #GTK4 / #Libadwaita app run in the background when closing ? And how to make it appear correctly in GNOME background app menu, or even in the AppIndicator extension ?

Any link to relevant documentation will be useful ! :)

Thank you in advance!

Getting Aurea ready for #GNOME 48, and as #Sonic would say, 'I gotta go fast!'

High Tide is a Promising New TIDAL Client for Linux

Linux users hunting for a native client to stream music from TIDAL will want to keep an eye on a promising new open-source app called High Tide. High Tide is an unofficial but native Linux client for the TIDAL music streaming service. It’s written in Python, uses GTK4/libadwaita UI, and leverages official TIDAL APIs for playback. TIDAL, often positioned as the ‘pro-artist music streaming platform’, isn’t as popular as industry titan Spotify (likely because it doesn’t offer a ‘free’ ad-supported tier) but is nonetheless a solid rival to it in terms of features and catalogue breadth. Windows, macOS, Android and
