    WDYM Libadwaita is not customizable? Libadwaita is the most customizable UI lib I would say. You literally fan just change every part of any app through css and call it a day.

    Unlike QT slop - literally fuck ton of inconsistency. And if you don’t like classic Breeze - good luck. Because Kirigami makes it impossible to customize QT apps at all.

      Ah yes, comparing shit to shit. Although there’s basically no other choice anymore…

      Anyways, I once tried removing the profile pictures in Dino. That’s it. Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. After poking around, found that GTK literally has devtools like a web browser, albeit a bit more annoying to use. Found that there’s is a “hidden” checkbox, if I check that it hides all profile pictures. Great, I thought. Then tried CSS:

      display: none !important; // nah, that would be too naive
hidden: 1; // nope
opacity: 0; // doesn't remove from layout
width: 0px; // nope

      Gave up, found the relevant docs after going through a bunch of useless ones, and all of the rules fit on one page. None of them remove a fucking element. And that’s because none of these are meant for the user (have you met the average Gn*me user?). And basically all of them have native counterparts anyway, so they are just an illusion of choice to the developers, too.

      I haven’t tried doing it in a while, but I remember it being very difficult to change themes beyond tint and colors, with lots of apps having custom colors not in the pallet used in the “gtk.css” file.
