Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩

Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎

Stay tuned! :xmpp:

Upscaler 1.4.0 was just released! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale and enhance images, be it your photos, digital art, and more.

This release introduces scaling factors, allowing you to upscale between a factor of 2 and 4. The image loading system has been reworked to decrease overall memory consumption. The preview image now has a drop shadow to better make the image distinguishable. Lastly, it fixes a bug where small window sizes made the preview image disappear.

We're coming to the last few talks for the conference, but the excitement continues...

Now Mathias Clasen is going through the state of #HDR in #GTK4

#ArchLinux people, do you experience any graphical gliches, missing content / text / images with #GNOME and or #GTK4 apps, since the move to 47 last weekend?


I upgraded #GNOME #Calls to #gtk4 + #libadwaita for fun. It's now released in v47.0! Should be available soon in your #LinuxMobile distribution of choice 🚀

Massive thanks to @devrtz, @agx, @brainblasted, and Maximiliano for putting up with my beginner-level GTK skills!


I released #GNOME #Calls 47.0 yesterday 🚀 \o/

This is the first release running #gtk4 and #libadwaita

Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed code, translations and bug reports!

Find the release notes at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-…

And of course, it has already been uploaded to :debian: 🎉

Upscaler version 1.3.0 was just released! The release is pretty large and includes some nice features and visual improvements:

- Introduce queue system to allow users to upscale images right after the other
- Add branding colors
- Port to latest Adwaita widgets
- Allow dropping remote images
- Allow pasting images from clipboard
- Make window draggable from anywhere
- Delete temporary file when unused
- Switch to Upscayl-NCNN from Real-ESRGAN ncnn Vulkan
- Update and rework translation
- Add Bulgarian translation

Unfortunately, I completely forgot that the GNOME 47 runtime isn't released yet. The update will be available later once the GNOME 47 runtime is out. If you want to try it out, you can build it from source (roughly a few minutes) using GNOME Builder: gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscale…

During latest two days I have attempted a minimal #a11y related hacking in #rust with #matrix #fractal code base. While working on it I found this tech note by @Hubert Figuière on subclassing #GTK4 widgets verry help full.
Let's see if I have done it right. At least I am back to chatting now.


GNOME Calendar users, rejoice!

After 7 months of pain and suffering, we finally reworked the event details popover, which will be available in GNOME 47!

The new event details popover builds on top of the existing UI/code, while adding a few improvements and behavioral changes:

  • The popover displays the changes-prevent (lock) icon when the event is read-only.
  • Each section is properly separated with separators, with equal amount of margins.
  • Location and Meetings section are mutually exclusive; only one is shown.
  • When an event has no event note, the popover will always explicitly display that there's no event description.
  • The action button adapts its icon and tooltip text depending on the event permission.

I think I might have found a way to run and distribute #GTK4/ #libadwaita apps (without Broadway) locally on an Android device 👀


@FediVerseExplorer @WestphalDenn I am using web version of #element in @Firefox by default however #electron based apps are now accessible on #linux in a similar way as they are #accessible on #windows. So I think you will like it. Also #fractal a #gtk4 #matrix client developed with @GNOME technologies is accessible with #orca.


If there is some #dotnet developer interested in #GTK4 bindings, dislikes warnings like me and has some spare time to support a small size #OSS project feel free to stop by at github.com/gircore/gir.core

There are literally thousands of warnings to fix. The good news is that almost all of them are due to generated code. So a single fix could get rid of hundreds of them.

Come by to scratch that itch.


What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a great release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.

One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!

Friends of energy efficiency - the Light Video 0.1.0 #Flathub update is out, build with #gtk4 4.14 and #GStreamer 1.24.1.

This should be the first app targeting the #linux / FDO desktop enabling Wayland video offloading (think zero-copy playback) by default. In many cases (actually more than I expected) this can improve battery lifetime - and on low-end devices even playback performance - significantly.

@the esoteric programmer On linux #Accessibility is working fine with #GTK4 if a screen reader is already running. I think you can try to follow the tutorial you like and try to pay extra attention to the keyboard navigation, focus handling and labelling controls that don't have the text by default.


So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.

I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"

Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/por… )

Am I doing this wrong? (Code at github.com/TheKrafter/Grouping… )

My hope is that we can ship some initial support for all of this in #gnome46 - if possible with the default video player. Be it Totem, ported to #gtk4, or some alternative. The goal is of course that as many apps as possible can make use of it without much hassle - be it video streaming apps, video chat apps like @dino or Fractal, #fediverse clients like Tuba or camera apps like #gnomecamera / Snapshot (for a battery friendly viewfinder - important on #linuxmobile). And of course browsers.


In a previous thread I wrote about YUV support in Mutter having made its way into #gnome45 (floss.social/@rmader/111142297…). Recently #gtk4 devs picked things up and implemented compositor offloading, see their nice blog post: floss.social/@GTK/111415523629…


New blog post from Matthias Clasen: dmabuf, subsurfaces, and graphics offload for zero copy data transfer over the graphics stack coming to GTK 4.14: blog.gtk.org/2023/11/15/introd…

Regarding the future of video playback in #gnome I'd like to add some more context around current developments in #gnomeshell, #gtk4 and #Wayland in a short 🧵

TL;DR: by making use of more modern hardware features we're finally in the position to catch up to other platforms with regards to energy efficiency. So let's do it!


Are you interested in working on GNOME, writing Rust apps, or working with Fonts? If so, you may be interested in taking a look at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-f… :)

This port may take a while, and I greatly appreciate any help available. I've laid out a list of tasks to be done before merging, and if anyone wants to take something on let me know and we can work together.

If you want to help with the effort, please join #fonts:gnome.org on Matrix :) (matrix.to/#/#fonts:gnome.org)

Ever wondered how the #GTK4 file picker looks without #libadwaita? Take a look at Transmission. Click on the Open button and it should open the GTK4 file picker without libadwaita.

I wasn't really aware of the sad state of #accessibility with #GTK4 and #Gnome in upcoming #Debian 12 #bookworm.

#visuallyImpaired and #blind users are probably disappointed. Let's hope, those users can use #MATE for now and things will improve before the release of Debian 13 #trixie.


Tangram 2.0 is out and available on #Flathub

• Ported to #GTK4 / #libadwaita
• Responsive/mobile UI
• New and clearer onboarding experience
• Improved Web performance
• Follow system light/dark theme

Thank you to everyone involved in the GTK4 port of WebKit ♥️

Say hello to Tally for Plausible, a rebrand of my Plausible app to better differentiate it from Plausible Analytics itself!

The app supports:
• Your dashboard from Plausible.io
• Custom domains
• A refreshed design
• Cross-desktop light/dark style
• A more app-like experience
• Theoretically, phones!*

Grab it now from Flathub:

*If you have a Linux phone and want to test Tally, I’d love to see what it looks like.


first time i see a #gtk4 version of #gedit - and it looks awesome.


Is this a #homeassistant #GTK4 app? Pretty please, don't be dead.
