Well well well let's work on making a release then.

'tis been fun working on this application launcher, next up is adding support for extensions, and i have some solid ideas for that implementation in the same vein as the import functions in the creative writer.

GNOME 48 arrived today for me and the first thing I did was choosing #Adwaita fonts for the UI and non-native apps, and it looks beautiful! :blobcattea:

I really liked Cantarell, but apparently it didn't have many of the latest font features :S

Kudos to @monster and the rest of the GNOME Design Team!

I know a lot of people switched to the new #Adwaita fonts right after their conception, but I've actually sticked with Cantarell 'till the very end except for some light testing. Just upgraded to the latest Fedora beta with the new fonts, and it's a whole new world!

This is the culmination of years of discussion and research by many people, but @monster deserves a special thanks for spearheading this particular solution and pushing the initiative over the finish line once and for all.

is there somewhere i can find something like a "dos and don'ts of using #GTK4 and #adwaita"? :BoostOK:

i've been reading through random issues and MRs on various #GNOME repos, and i'm finding some really useful comments about things that you should(n't) be doing. things like "using a listview inside a box is wrong and broken" - this is really useful knowledge, but i can't find it actually formally documented anywhere.

Continued thread

if there are any #GNOME designers/artists (gnomes? gnome heads? gnomish sourcerers? gnaphic gnesigners?) seeing this, does it comply with the HIG in your opinion? what would you suggest changing if not?

the cheesecrater icon uses the standard rustacean image, which doesn't have that smooth, rounded look the HIG usually suggests, but i lack the skill to make a "blobby" version of ferris. :ferris_og:

the crates browser, with its triple-pane layout (third screenshot), is the most complicated of them, but it's based on the design of the crates.io website, which displays the readme alongside a right-aligned "metadata" pane.

(also: either it's very hard to write descriptive alt text for UI design screenshots, or i am very bad at it. possibly both.)

Hey gnome folks!

I have some free time and want to start out learning to build libadwaita apps. Where do I even start? Is there anyone here who started gnome app development recently and still remembers how they got started? Or some veterans with a good understanding of recent best practices for gnome app development?

Replied in thread

@tbernard the #Fedora #flatpak repo has a fair deal of #Plasma packages in it, and that's probably because the Fedora community has been porting desktop apps over to it.

I have a cynical take though. I believe that #designers and #UX experts gravitate more towards #Gtk/ #Adwaita because it is more modern. Plasma/ #Origami has come a long way, but is still not as enticing as Gtk/Adwaita. This becomes a little barrier to entry in of it self, IMHO. It also means there is more Gtk #abandonware.
