I have a love-hate relationship with GTK: on one hand, it's aesthetically pleasing to me; on the other hand, CLIENT-SIDE DECORATIONS CAN KISS MY ASS.
Honestly, I don't really understand the hate that client-side decorations get. I find that they're generally pretty useful and good.
I think a lot of it comes from people who want to 'rice' and theme their desktops but I personally think that dream has sailed. The kind of theming people want on Linux systems is simply not possible without massive amounts of work and downgrades to accessibility, security and usability.
I'm very happy with my rice and the dream has not sailed at all, I have had no downgrades, to accessibility, or usability with a custom theme, in fact, I'd go so far as to say custom themes enable better accessibility and usability for me
security? It's just a css file?
Lionir is talking about API implementations for everything to go off a single CSS file or a single icon pack. Not about the implementation of your personal desired aesthetic (I refuse to use the term rice, it has origins in racist car and motorcycle culture)
(TIL about "rice"... is anything in the US not racist? 🤦)
