    doesn’t help half of electron apps decide to theme themselves. It’s a massive pain on Windows too.

    I was under the impression that one could force these to be themed, is that inaccurate? KDE Fedora btw.

    Heh, everyone here seems to be coming from kde or gnome, and I’m over here with xfce like that guy with the bong while the two girls fight.

    Unfortunately, the issue is more widespread in the world of UI design. Even in closed ecosystems like Windows, you have a random mix of different UI styles, and this cancer called “flat design” makes things even worse. Carl Svensson published a nice blog post about exactly this issue a couple of years ago: https://datagubbe.se/decusab/

    This is oke of my true painpoints with linux too. However its tempting to get Hyprland working properly as that removes all windown titlebars (Hyprland is designed to be keyboard first). So at least visually that is a lot more appealing since you no longer will notice this.

        Nice, how did you go about removing them? And do you also close them with keyboard shortcuts? Would like to try this on KDE too!

          I created a Window Rule and so far it seems to be working. This was a test but I’ve done it before through the Window-Specific Overrides in Windows Decorations-Edit Breeze Theme
          I use the keyboard very often and have a shortcut for that. It works for my use case, I always have windows maximized and tile them when i need it using the default keyboard shortcuts

    For some reason the Rust GUI toolkits don’t use WM’s window header.

    Throw a JetBrains app in there for a complete monstrosity 🤣

    As a Gnome’r I tend to lean towards apps that I can make look like they belong, but I put up with JetBrains because there tools work really well for my needs

    I’m very glad to see projects like libadapta as themable alternatives to the libadwaita dogma. I’ve painstakingly themed my desktop to look and feel like a cohesive, modernized NT 4 workstation and should seriously consider contributing to libadapta in anticipation of libadwaita coming to more and more programs.

    I am very stubborn about my computer’s GUI, but also hopeful the community can bring back theming where GNOME is dead set against it. If they can make WindowBlinds for modern Windows, the equivalent in Linux is definitely achievable.

      A bit off-topic, but I really appreciate projects that respect their upstreams, and attempt to improve in their own ways (from libadapta’s README):

      LibAdwaita has the right to be what it wants to be and to not support what it doesn’t want to support.
