Weekly Exclusive Patroncast - Episode 6
🕑 Added 2020-12-21 09:53:46 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well, because here is Episode 6 of the weekly Patroncast :)
This time, we're talking about theming on Linux, and specifically on GTK and GNOME. This is still an unresolved issue, where app developers want to retain branding and create custom controls, and users and distros want the ability to theme their desktop and make it their own.
It's something we don't talk about a lot anymore, and that still has no real solution that would please everyone, so here are my opinions on the matter, and an explanation of what I perceive the problem to be!
If you disagree (cause I know some of you are app developers and people who work on distros), don't hesitate to let me know, but remember that these are just my opinions :)
Enjoy!

The Linux Experiment
Don’t we all 😅 that’s one of the joys and issues of Linux, spending more time playing with it instead of using it ^^
I like a distro with defaults that are close enough, so I can just get on with work. For me that's Fedora, Mint, and Elementary. They all look polished and professional to me. I prefer Paper icons, but that's a quick change on all of them. I've used (Manjaro) KDE for a while, and although theming works pretty well I found apparently I have a latent obsessive need to get it "just right" - I felt like I spent a huge amount of time setting it up instead of getting on with work.
