Using #GTK and #Libadwaita in #swift Attempt Number 2.

Instead of using GIR to generate the code, use hand-written bindings.
More work? - Yes

Full coverage? - No

Better API and easier to use? - Yes


I spent yesterday evening trying to see how to make apps that use #libadwaita (the latest UI for #GNOME), and walked away with a streak of anger over a surprising lack of documentation and examples.

#GTK and #GNOME app development have always been a quest that involves throwing a ring in a fiery mountain, while hoping for the best, but in the 25 years since GTK+'s introduction, it has only gotten worse, it just looks prettier now. sigh. #linux


Sometimes I find it very hard to know how to look for/describe #GNOME bugs. I could use some help with this one. It's a bug in #libadwaita as I can trigger it both in GNOME Files and GNOME Settings. I just have no clue how to describe it. I think searching on "dialog" might be too narrow of a search, and I also don't know what to give as extra info (platform, version...). I can't seem to find it in the gitlab repo, which surprises me as it's such a major regression...

Is it me or did the libadwaita header bar change with the recent updates to gnome 43 alpha?

On the left is the new header bar, it looks a lot more dull.

On the right the header bar looks a lot more slick like if it had some shine to it which I liked better.
