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.

The report from the GTK hackfest in Brussels is now up on the development blog: blog.gtk.org/2024/02/03/gtk-ha…

I’d like to thank my employer, Igalia, for allowing me to participate; and the GNOME foundation for sponsoring the hackfest

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

My reaction when I discover a meson.build script running "cargo build" in the repository of the first example program I opened from the ones listed on the gtk-rs documentation page.

Is this common in the rust world when interacting with primarily C based libraries?

#rust #gtk #rustlang

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

etc, etc.

Creating interfaces using GTK's native APIs feels like programming in the 90s.

#Amberol 0.10.0 is out! After a tragic mess with a #GNOME run time update, and with lots of fixes accumulating over a development branch, I decided to spin up a release. Highlights:
- tweaked UI, to avoid confusing the waveform control and the volume control
- improved scaling of textures using #GTK 4.10
- ability to restore the last playlist at startup
- optional background playback

Plus the usual lots and lots of small fixes, tweaks, and performance improvements.
