Hasn't been released fully yet by the developer but looks interesting.

Edit: Video says repo is on its way

Using a YouTube link intentionally— better people redirect to their own choice piped or invidious instance that they're logged into (various redirect tools available)

Edit: Repo link here https://github.com/arcnations-united/evolve

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include "everything ad-free". And there's no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

He's Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.

Weird, the video announcement states the software is FOSS. I think that's regarding his YouTube content and not this stuff. The video also states github is wip

Glad this exists, but I am worried with the way GNOME is going that this might not be worth it in the long run.

Which way is GNOME going? I'm out of the loop.

Gnome seems to be getting better with each update, I'm not really sure what you mean? It's stable, looks amazing/consistent, has a very healthy app ecosystem, etc.

I don't use gnome; can someone who does plz tell me what style that is? The color scheme is Everforest, but what's the rest of the style called? It'd look good on rofi & polybar.

Edit: I guess the theme is also Everforest Dark? I think it's this one.

Edit 2: Someone has already done most of the work for polybar, rofi, and some other tiling WM tools; dotfiles here. I haven't tested it myself yet, but it looks pretty good.

YouTube links are fine - I hate those stupid bots that spam posts about such links.

Did you read your own letter? It's not relevant here.

If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us. However, if you change things like stylesheets and icons, you should be aware that you’re in unsupported territory. Any issues you encounter should be reported to the theme developer, not the app developer.

I don't know whether you're shitting on theme developers or GTK app developers with your comment, but they explicitly state that they think theming is fine, they're just tired of people reporting theme problems as app problems. It's a completely reasonable take.

If I were an app developer I wouldn't want to open a bug report, then spend hours and hours investigating a reported issue, only to find out that my app was never the problem in the first place.

It's more targeted towards the DE developers.

Some use gnome but with their own theme and it can make normal apps look broken.

You can see this if you use an Elementary OS application while still using the default gnome theme as an example.

Or if you use Pop! Shell, and try to use a normal libadwaita app. (Although Pop Shell has gotten better about how they implement their theme)
