Discovered that #libadwaita apps can enable the convenience "What's New" button in their About dialog to show release notes: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l…

Some #GNOME apps already use it: stable releases of Calendar, Shortwave, Showtime, Papers, System Monitor, Decibels, Warp, etc.

I've now filed RFEs for this in Tuba, Epiphany, Contacts, Fractal, Secrets, Warehouse, Maps, Apostrophe, Snapshot, File Roller, etc.

Ideally I'd want to suggest it in Ptyxis, Text Editor, Builder, Loupe & Pika…

Last week Exercise Timer by Lőrinc Serfőző was accepted into Circle! It's a cute little app to create timers for high-intensity interval training 🏋️⏲️

#gnome #circle #libadwaita

Hey! Does anyone from #GNOME or that works with GNOME technologies know how I can make my #python #GTK4 / #Libadwaita app run in the background when closing ? And how to make it appear correctly in GNOME background app menu, or even in the AppIndicator extension ?

Any link to relevant documentation will be useful ! :)

Thank you in advance!

Introducing Refine, an app to tweak advanced and experimental settings in GNOME. It is an alternative to GNOME Tweaks, and is a pet project I'm currently working to experiment with PyGObject and dconf, while following the data-driven, object-oriented, and composition paradigms.

The entire codebase is made up of widgets that provide all the functionality needed to add an option. For example, instead of adding each option programmatically in Refine, the ultimate goal is to have it all done in the UI file.

For example, if we want to add an option to enable or disable middle click paste, all we need is the following code in the UI file:

$RefineSwitchRow {<br>  title: _('Middle Click Paste');<br>  schema-id: 'org.gnome.desktop.interface';<br>  key: 'gtk-enable-primary-paste';<br>}<br>

You can get Refine on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/page.tesk.Ref…

Everything else (source code, screenshot, etc.) is in the project website: tesk.page/refine/, as well as the Flathub link.

tbh the tab overview is still one of my favorite things about GNOME Web

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!

A new release of #Multiplex, the app that lets you watch torrents together in a way similar to Apple's SharePlay and Amazon's Prime Video Watch Party, is out!

This brings the latest and greatest #GNOME and #libadwaita technologies, modernizes the underlying dependencies, enhances accessibility, and makes it easier to contribute to the project with improved contributor documentation and a rewrite of the UI markup!

And more is to come soon-ish, so stay tuned 🥳

ported Identity and Video Trimmer to the new css stuff (well, ported is a strong word, there's like 10 lines of css there), so now Video Trimmer is ready for accent colors!

(yeah yeah i know that window needs a design overhaul but for now im too lazy)

#gnome #gtk #libadwaita

I have released a new version of Exhibit!
- Improved settings with four default configurations for different file types and the possibility to save custom ones
- Bundled four HDRI by default, but more can be added
- Added a button to open the file in an external app
- Automatic reload on file change
- More ways to color models
- Improved point cloud support
- Updated F3D to latest version

#GNOME #GTK #Libadwaita

@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.

(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)

#GNOME #nautilus #libadwaita

Over the last months, we've completely redesigned and rewritten @dino 's accounts and settings dialogs. The dialogs are combined into a single one now, which is adaptive and offers additional features like an option for OMEMO by default. The rewrite also resolves a number of issues and feature requests that were raised with the old implementation. It's still work in progress and will require further polishing.

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.

It's still WIP: gitlab.gnome.org/CleoMenezesJr…

#GTK #GNOME #Python #Libadwaita

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 😄

#GNOME #GTK #libadwaita #Linux #development

Dedicated to @alice and @tbernard 🎁

I added support for libadwaita AlertDialog to Blueprint

That's all that should be needed to support GNOME 46 changes

#GNOME #libadwaita #gtk

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

Workbench 45.4 is out 🛠️

flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Work…

- Flashcards: Create, edit, and study flashcard sets 🎓 - easily import your existing Quizlet sets [GitHub: github.com/david-swift/Flashca…]

Both are written in #swift using an interface similar to #swiftui for #gtk and #libadwaita [GitHub: github.com/AparokshaUI/Adwaita]

Ok, I guess everything is ready?

Let's try it: twitch.tv/alice_mkh
Consider it a test stream - this is a very different setup than what I use for games, and well, this is the first time I'm streaming libadwaita work.

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… )

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)

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.

#GNOME

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...

Perl isn't dead just yet, and you can write GNOME application using this programming language. In order to do that, though, we're going to need new bindings ...
