@Tuba i understand why you don't like it that users use a different gtk theme. but why don't you let them ar least via GTK_THEME environment variable? :( for me only tuba uses a "different" theme. all other gtk apps let me use what i want.
besides that; have you ever thought about appImages?

@scops GTK_THEME is a debug variable that often just straight-up breaks apps. I’ve had multiple bug reports opened about this for my own apps, and I definitely understand any other app developer who is tired of the same song repeating itself each time 🙂

@bragefuglseth i understand why it is problematic. still "old" gnome users that want to style their desktop gets limited if an app choose to block themes. so if the var would always work this would be at least be ok.
still, kde devs seems not to have that big problem with theming at all ?!

@scops KDE's theming system does have a lot of rough edges. I don't think it's possible to pull off that level of flexibility while retaining the perceived "polish" GNOME has nowadays :)

@bragefuglseth *shurg for theming works very nice on my steam deck. when i think about polish ui/ix the MacOS Mojave (…) user interface was the peak… since then, the user interfaces have gotten worse and worse IMHO
