Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I’m really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!
Nice work! Glad to see it improving so much over a short period. I am interested in how programms based on Qt or gtk/libadwaita will look/ be themed in Cosmic. Are there any news about that?
The toolkit decides how their applications look based on whatever theming engines they use. The desktop doesn’t have control over that. So GTK applications use GTK themes, libadwaita applications use libadwaita themes, libcosmic applications will use libcosmic themes. We’ll try to automatically generate similar-ish GTK/KDE/etc. themes if possible, but it’ll depend by what specs those toollkits support in their theming.
As far as I remember, they said in some reddit post that the theming will be shared.
When Cosmic becomes stable I’d 100% use it over my Manjaro GNOME setup. this slaps
Im really curious. I use the gnome that comes with pop now. I really cant wait to explore cosmic.
Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.
