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.
Support our development:
Blueprint; the markup language and tooling for #GTK is out in version 0.12
Here are the highlights ✨
Brand-new formatter to keep files tidy by @gregorni 🎩
AdwAlertDialog are supported
Emit warnings for deprecated features in GTK, GLib, etc
New IDE integration features
• document symbols
• "Go to definitions"
• Code action for importing missing namespace
We also celebrate 70 applications on Flathub built with Blueprint.

and #Python 
New Library demos: 📚
"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.

Emmanuele Bassi details the improvements for accessibility in GTK 4.14:
blog.gtk.org/2024/03/08/access…
#gtk #gtk4 #accessibility
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.
github.com/sdroege/mandelbrot#…
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.

Alright I think I'm finally happy with the Workbench 46 demo for AdwDialog 🛠️
It's such a cool primitive for building adaptive apps. I hope the blob cat will make some people smile 😄

Day 1 was more subdued, but it was very productive, with discussions about rendering architecture, GL and Vulkan, and accessibility. Matthias and I have also worked on making the Text interface for accessible objects public, and we’re pretty close to finishing the merge request

I added support for libadwaita AlertDialog to Blueprint

Playing with the new libadwaita dialog in Workbench
I didn't expect AdwDialog to render and behave fine in the preview
There are issues with auto-reload - might have to move it to a separate preview window but I'm having fun until then.
#GNOME #GTK #libadwaita
I know cool people don't like to use them ( @tbernard 👀 ) but this really deserves the visibility of an infinite hashtags soup
It looks absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to make use of them; as a user and as a developer.

Some very vocal #LibreOffice devs consider that client-side window decorations (for example #GTK HeaderBar kind of things) are "NOT a #UX #design issue", and that it's all about the burden of maintaining that across different OSes/platforms.
Yeah… I might buy their argument if LibreOffice had the guts to actually commit to only one (or two) UI layouts and toolkits, instead of maintaining *seven* UI layout choices, to begin with 🙄️

it's been some time since the last Muzika update, but I (and some people that joined along the way) didn't stop working on it.
A few changes:
1. Column view for playlists & albums on larger screens
2. Decent (not perfect) mobile support
3. All links are now underlined for better visibility/a11y
4. Simplified code & improved perf (not yet perfect)
5. We now have flatpak builds (CI)
6. The app now supports translations
