Regarding libadwaita...

"The GNOME team of course hopes that every Gtk+ developer will adopt
libadwaita – Cinnamon, Xfce, Cosmic, MATE be damned – but the odds of
that happening are slim."

And from here:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/28/gnome_42_inconsistent_themes/

"Along with Gtk 4 came a new library called libadwaita. This embeds the formerly separate Adwaita theme, effectively enforcing it across all
apps that use Gtk 4. The purpose of this is to help developers conform
to the new GNOME Human Interface guidelines."

That's right, *CONFORM*

One look to rule them all
One look to find them
One look to bring them all
And IN THE FLATNESS, BIND THEM!!!

no more THEMES
no more CHOiCE
you MUST COMPLY - or DIE!!!

Gnome 42 developers must be ARROGANT PRICKS and WANNABE TYRANTS - and
nmost likely SOCIALISTS and/or COMMUNISTS!!! (they probably vote
DEMON-RAT too)

That's why I use Mate or Cinnamon. At least I still have CHOICE. And
Adwaita SUCKS. [See my previus post in AH]

The current bunch of ARROGANT CHILDREN and their 2D FLATSO touchie/feelie/fondly obsession have KILLED GNOME, but it has sucked a
lot since Gnome 3 - even LINUS agrees!

also worth mentionging:
https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/migrating-3to4.html

"GTK 4 is a major new version of GTK that breaks both API and ABI
compared to GTK 3.x."


This dead horse needs to be buried... before it becomes an UNDEAD HORSE
