I was using this package mainly for the hot reloading themes with custom colors
but this version doesn't update the accent color when provided.
I tried the theme with libadwaita using ~/.config/gtk-4/gtk.css and it works as it should be but not with this package
(edit)
After some digging I found that the issue was with the theme adw-gtk3 that I was using, and the old way to define color changed with libadwaita 1.7.
this package works amazing.
Package is currently out of date and causes instability in system (cannot open gnome-control-center and a few other apps)
From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines
Suffix pkgname with -bzr, -cvs, -darcs, -git, -hg, -svn, etc., unless the package fetches a specific release.
Since this package gets a specific version, it shouldn't be a -git package
@ich no worries, I was hoping for the same; I just didn't understand the conflict error enough, but now I do (and thanks for helping clarifying how one package replaces the other more clearly)...too bad I can't remove libadwaita without also removing gnome(?)...will try the manual install you recommend.
Thanks again for the quick turnaround(s), very much appreciated.
@rrevi Ah sorry, I thought your issue was just with the package version.
libadwaita-without-adwaita replaces the libadwaita package, so you need to uninstall libadwaita. However, you cannot just uninstall libadwaita without also uninstalling it's dependencies.
If your AUR helper allows you to input y in the following prompt:
:: libadwaita-without-adwaita-git-1.6.3-16 and libadwaita-1:1.6.3-1 are in conflict. Remove libadwaita? [y/N]
then that should fix your issue. If it does not, you can download the source for this repository here and run makepkg -si in the extracted folder.
@ich thanks for the quick turnaround!
Unfortunately, the uplift didn't fix my issue:

@rrevi Thanks for the notice. I updated to 1.6.3
@ExaHamza Do I understand correctly that accent colors (as css variables) are only implemented in libadwaita and not in GTK? Fixing the patch to include that shouldn't be hard, but I don't know when I'll get to it.
I got this error today:
looking for conflicting packages...
:: libadwaita-without-adwaita-git-1.6.0-15 and libadwaita-1:1.6.3-1 are in conflict. Remove libadwaita? [y/N]

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libadwaita-without-adwaita-git-1.6.0-15 and libadwaita-1:1.6.3-1 are in conflict
which made me realize this package may be outdated?
Accent colors in gnome settings appearance style remain empty

The version of libadwaita provided by this package will use the dconf-variable 'org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme' to load the theme. This is the same variable that other gtk4-apps (and gnome-tweaks) uses.
For this to work, your theme needs to support gtk4. There may also be some weird formatting until themes are updated to fully support the new widgets; The Arc-family of themes seems to already support most of libadwaita.
Since this replaces the system library, it will only work for apps that actually use it (that is, all apps in the main repo). You will still have to set GTK_THEME if you want to use Flatpaks / Snaps / Appimages
Edit: Please, never just report issues to other gtk projects while using this library. Please always check if the issue persists using extra/libadwaita, and report your issue only on this AUR package if it doesn't.
