Can we get standard accent colors? I want accent colors to work across desktops

[-] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Gnome is getting accent color support in Gnome 47. I hope Gnome and KDE have the accent color portal configured correctly so eachother's apps look right.

Though Gnome's side comes with two limitations. Accent colors will only be used in Libadwaita apps and those apps need to be updated to follow the standard (though I have noticed in Fedora 41 development version that many Gnome apps are still version 46 but still use the new accents). Second, Gnome only supports a handful of named colors while most other desktops allow any hex value. So other desktops will need to pick the closest color.

Honestly gnome should allow custom hex but just not expose it in the GUI. I know that libadwaita already supports custom colors for all parts of the gui

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.
