gtk VS dwm-flexipatch

Catppuccin Macchiato (dark) or Mocha (darker): https://github.com/catppuccin/gtk

I found an issue on github Legacy applications theme problem, for anyone experiencing the same problem, it seems like recent updates broke a lot of themes in general, so I'm guessing soon this issue will be resolved.

It took me a long time to find someone similar, who faced this problem, but i found him. In video from the channel Linux Cast, about ricing dwm(53:18 timecode), Matt tried to open a Firefox Dracula Theme page, but DWM crashed. In my case, I try to open [Bitwarden main page](xGbFmiBGxKZuC3ACuNKLMBLUaAvRcEALw_wcB), and Catppuccin GTK theme page, and my dwm crashes in a simular way as in the video by Matt.

Usually themes will provide the stuff you need to do extra for gtk4, check the example here, it's the theme I use for GTK and if you scroll down a bit you will notice a section called for 'For gtk-4.0 users'. You have to do those after you set up GTK2/3 correctly with nwg-look.

GTK: Catppuccin GTK

The catppuccin/gtk repository is urgently looking for new contributors and maintainers. All those chad ricers who are well-versed with GTK themes, this is your time to shine and make your favourite GTK theme even better!

However, if I were to implement something like 15+ patches then i would just use flexi patch to quickly apply patches - https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

I posted an issue with flexipatch's savefloats patch https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/362 which I believe to be a bug in the way the patch is supposed to handle layout switching.

Check out dwm-flexipatch!

And if you want a quick way to install patches then you should checkout u/bakkeby 's https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

do yourself a favor and use https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch ... patching with much less trouble

and i would recommend to use dwm-flexipatch, it makes the hole patching process very easy, and you can try out all the patches...

I just wanted to add that if anyone is experiencing this issue and using dwm-flexipatch then enabling the patch BAR_NO_COLOR_EMOJI_PATCH may solve the issue.

if your not scared of changing basic C files the most lightweight you’ll get is probably dwm, try out this to more easily patch dwm if you do decide to use it.

a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in
