In my pursuit for Fedora Workstation to offer a clean, nice and integrated UI as much as possible, a while ago I have discovered the adw-gtk3-theme
(available as RPM in the repos), which makes legacy gtk apps look (almost) like gtk4 apps.
After activating this theme for legacy applications, I was also pleasantly surprised to see that with a flatpak update
command, the active theme variant (either adw-gtk3
or adw-gtk3-dark
) was proposed for installation from flathub
(I assume as a result of GNOME Application Platform reading this setting). This means that legacy gtk apps installed as Flatpak also follow the same theme… with a caveat.
That is, this only works for apps installed from the flathub
remote, but not from fedora
.
Which brings me to my questions:
- How and whom should a proposal be addressed to build a package available as RPM (
adw-gtk3-theme
in this case) also as Flatpak? To the RPM package maintainer, or silverblue-team maybe? - For this particular case, would it be enough to have this package available as Flatpak from
fedora
remote, or is the implementation more complex (maybe involving changes inorg.fedoraproject.Platform
too)?
