 Winter | i do not recall running into this the last time i used firefox on gnome on this machine ~6mo ago | 00:15:59 |
| Winter | but who knows where the regression lies | 00:16:07 |

 l0b0 | I've never heard of it, so I expect not? But how would I find out? It's not a plain NixOS option. | 13:27:16 |
 @normalcea:matrix.org | It's a GNOME experimental setting, not a nixos option, and you have to set it via gsettings or using the refine app | 20:22:26 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | You can also set it via the dconf module:
"org/gnome/mutter" = {
experimental-features = [
"scale-monitor-framebuffer"
"xwayland-native-scaling"
];
};
| 20:22:49 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" | 20:23:45 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | or via gsettings | 20:23:52 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | Here's the NixOS wiki page on GNOME https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/GNOME | 20:24:45 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | I wrote some of the parts myself :) | 20:30:51 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | * gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer' 'xwayland-native-scaling' ]" | 20:39:37 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | * gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer', 'xwayland-native-scaling' ]" | 20:39:46 |

| linsui | This simple file fix the dark theme for me after gnome-themes-extra is not installed by default.
pkgs.writeTextFile {
name = "adwaita-dark";
destination = "/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/gtk-3.0/gtk.css";
text = ''@import url("resource:///org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/gtk-contained-dark.css");'';
}
Would it make sense to install this by default? This is basically what gnome-themes-extra provides. IIUC, some programs rely on adwaita-dark them instead of the new adwaita theme with both dark and light variants.

|  ghpzin changed their display name from ghpzin (moved to @ghpzin:envs.net) to ghpzin. | 15:04:41 |
|  @ghpzin:envs.net left the room. | 16:18:33 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | Which programs rely on adwaita-dark? | 17:29:22 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | It seems like only gtk2 programs need this, no? | 17:44:27 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | * | 17:44:42 |
| linsui | No. Flutter apps, Tauri apps, JFX apps and maybe some more rely on adwaita-dark. | 17:59:17 |
| linsui | Since gtk2 should be removed and I don't have gtk2 program installed after gimp is updated, I didn't look into that. But I thought gtk3 programs also need this. | 18:00:37 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | It seems like for tauri it affects v1 apps since they use webkitgtk, this tauri toolkit user seems to say its fixed in v2 | 18:08:15 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | https://v2.tauri.app/reference/javascript/api/namespacewindow/#onthemechanged seems to imply they can listen to the theme now. | 18:08:37 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | I might be wrong though, but that seems like a tauri issue then at the very least. | 18:08:57 |
| linsui | Not sure about v2, the only tuari app I used never updated to v2... | 18:09:03 |
| linsui | And these apps themselves can listen to the theme, but the window decoration doesn't follow the theme. You can test with localsend. It also has an upstream issue but I'm not sure if it's this issue. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/135390 | 18:11:05 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | This looks like a toolkit issue, they need to respond to the freedesktop portal to follow the theme preference or handle app theming in-app. | 18:13:15 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | GNU Emacs suffers from this as well (even on the wayland port) | 18:13:39 |
| linsui | I can't fix those toolkits. 🤷 It would be great to get them fixed but I won't hold my breathe. But I can get those programs themed immediately. :) | 18:16:04 |
| @normalcea:matrix.org | kde doing xdg_decoration also makes this annoying, app developers now think they can just ignore the title bar in design. | 18:16:26 |
