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.

@aria_im Might have to patch pika-backup. See src/ui.rs#L133-136

This doesn't seem to be working with pika-backup, which is still using the Adwaita window decorations/icons. Any way to fix this @xiota?

Could meson command be edited in the PKGBUILD to satisfy this warning message? Thanks.

WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.

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Package is currently out of date and causes instability in system (cannot open gnome-control-center and a few other apps)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.
