Dear GNOME, GTK and friend developers 🧑‍💻

Have you ever encountered an issue with #Blueprint? Please file an issue, and we'll look at it for Blueprint 1.0

https://gitlab.gnome.org/jwestman/blueprint-compiler/-/issues

We aim for supporting all GTK builder syntax and 100% XML↔Blueprint porting compatibility.

The beta release for version 2 of @skytemple Randomizer is out! It's completely rewritten in GTK 4 and Adwaita and runs on Linux (Flathub), macOS and Windows!

Thanks to Workbench, Blueprint Compiler and GNOME's HIG redesigning the UI was actually a lot of fun, and the new UX just feels so nice and satisfying to work with.

Next up is migrating the SkyTemple main app to GTK 4 as well!

@GTK congrats!

Thank you for the amazing toolkit and all the work that goes into it. ❤️

The progress made in the last year is astonishing

Highlights ✨:

• video/graphics offload
• new graphics renderer
• GtkAccessibleText
• fractional scaling support
• accessibility inspector

I highly recommend reading the GTK blog https://blog.gtk.org/

Finally added a page for the GTK inspector on the GNOME developers docs website: https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/tools/inspector.html

This way, I won't have to point people at the wiki any more.

Retro; the customizable clock widget is now available on Flathub in v2

What's new:

• 24/12h support (follows GNOME Settings)
• Energy usage optimizations
• Better support for round clocks
• Controls moved out of the way

What do you think of the floating header bar?

#GNOME #GTK #CSS #Flathub #Flatpak #Linux

as for Discourse: I haven't seen any particular issue in the logs; there's just some throttling when we're getting hammered by spam bots.

If you want to, you can use Matrix and/or IRC:

- #gtk:gnome.org
- #gtk on irc.libera.chat

Tonight's "exciting" #gtk discovery: Apparently ListBase and ListItemFactory have their functions excluded from the public API, making it way friggin' harder to write list-backed widgets than it should be.

Why? Who can say! I seem to be unable to make an account in the gnome discourse so it will remain a mystery for the ages...

Want to build your own lock screen widget or quick setting in #phosh? @arunmani explains how that works in https://phosh.mobi/posts/custom-plugins-dev/ 🛠️

Build Your Own Quick-Setting or Lock-Screen Widget

Phosh has support for plugins which can be used to customize and extend certain aspects as per your liking without touching the internal source code. Currently Phosh supports plugins for lock-screen and quick-settings.

Having trouble with a GtkGridList. Looking for help.

I've replaced a GtkFlowBox with a GtkGridList to improve performance. However, the GridList is breaking the layout.

The height of every child of the GridList expands to beyond the edges of the window (screenshot 1), unless it’s the *direct descendent* of a GtkScrolledWindow (screenshot 2). In the second case, the grid renders as expected but I can't put the header in.

Does anyone know a way around this? (Code below)

#GNOME #GTK #AppDev

More progress made!

The WIP icon manager app now renders SVG icons as vector drawings, so they don't get pixellated and appear extra crisp on HiDPi displays.

The search bar is also now visible in the header bar for quick access. It now filters the icons in the currently selected list.

#GNOME #AppDev #GTK

For every day that I've sat down to work on this app, I've managed to solve a problem that seemed insurmountable the day before.

The app now copies icons to your clipboard, ready to paste into design software! It can paste icons both as SVG data (which Inkscape supports) and as a temporary file (which Figma and file managers support).

It also loads icon sets that are bundled with the app and has an overview of all the sets installed.

But it is a client for #BitWarden/#VaultWarden only.
You want to build a local one?

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? ❤️

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Junction 1.8 is out ✨

Junction pops up automatically when you open a file or link to let you choose which app to open with.

The highlight of this version is better mobile and touch support 📱

Plus, the app is now verified on Flathub and has a "High quality app data" rating.

Inkscape‘s development version has now switched to GTK4 ✨ , the current version of the underlying UI framework.

This is a huge architectural 🏗️ improvement for Inkscape, and will enable proper graphics acceleration ⏩ in the future.

This quick transition - only about 9 months - was made possible by donations, as we’ve invested approx. $80,000 towards it.

After my birthday passed, I'm working on a Banner Previewer and, honestly, despite being simple, it's one of the coolest things I've ever done.

Is this Python diagnostics coming to Workbench 46 ?

Why yes it is!

Collaborative effort with @janvhs and @capypara 🙌

We are using pylsp and Ruff.

I'm also very excited to share that all 100+ demos have been ported to Python. Thanks to all contributors!

Emmanuele Bassi details the improvements for accessibility in GTK 4.14:

https://blog.gtk.org/2024/03/08/accessibility-improvements-in-gtk-4-14/

#gtk #gtk4 #accessibility

People dislike #flatpak for the fact that it uses more disk space than native applications. I don’t think it is that big of an issue. But couldn’t it be solved be letting the base system, the DE (like #GNOME and #KDE) use the flatpak runtimes from outside. I mean you can’t break out of a container, but can’t you break into it?

Could for example #GNOME use #GTK which comes packaged in the flatpak GNOME runtime?

Why would that be a silly idea?

#Linux #OpenSource

Over the last months the Rust/cargo support in meson improved a lot.

It's now ready to build and install a GTK4 Rust application with around 70 dependencies without having to write almost any custom build glue for the dependencies.

https://github.com/sdroege/mandelbrot#meson-build

The application in question is just a small experiment of mine for rayon and GTK4 input handling / rendering. The more or less same should work for other GTK4 applications at this point.

All this still depends on two unmerged meson PRs, but it's a huge step forward from the situation just a few months ago.

Thanks to the hard work of @xclaesse and dcbaker!

I hope in the future this will allow GNOME applications written in Rust to have a less strange and fragile build setup than what they have right now with mixing cargo and meson.
