From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Aren't a lot of these issues due to gtk not being as theme friendly as Qt?
It is my understanding that a lot of thought and care is put into the design language and appearance of applications and frameworks. However the same level of consideration is not usually afforded to skins and themes, which are often released an never updated again. This can cause usability issues and sometimes even breakages. Of course, people are free to do as they please with their computers.
Screw that.
Yeah. My guess is that for every meticulously hand crafted ui, there's 10 that just go with the default. If a user wants an icon pack where🤘means home, they'll be perfectly fine with navigating your application.
Developers can always include an option to disable styling if that would severely break the ui. But personally, I'd rather use a application that looks roughly like every other one in the system, than one that's so specifically designed that it doesn't.
Yeah I get the rational, and that DEs shouldn't theme them apps but I want to have some sort of customization (not just an accent color).
Thank you. I feel like I've found a new way to respect developers that I hadn't considered before.
I don't support that some want to push their own theme. Just use the provided theme. You may create your own custom theme but that should be able to be used everywhere. App icons can be part of a theme.
