How and can I install pop-gtk-theme on other distributions?
1 project | /r/pop_os | 12 Oct 2022

You can build the theme manually from System76 repo. I've tested on Gnome 43 the shell theme mostly work, looks kinda funky with the new quick settings. I've done this myself on pop to get gtk3 flatpaks to theme correctly.
Plans to update the Pop Theme to GTK4?
1 project | /r/pop_os | 1 Sep 2022

With GTK4 approaching two years of release, I was wondering: What are the plans for updating the pop theme to GTK4 (and qt6, if possible)? Are there any?
The Calendar in the overview does not indicate events with dots in light mode. Dark mode works fine. I was not sure where to report this in GitHub due to the huge amount of repos :-)

Extra title bars in cinnamon?

Is there a way to get gtk apps to look more like native qt apps? Specially the window decorations?
1 project | /r/kde | 10 Mar 2023

After gtk3, window decorations are not a thing in gtk apps. The gtk theme is used to draw the elements. (Read client side decorations for better idea). You have to depend on 3rd party tools to restore window decorations, like this one. Don't know how well it works now, or even works with gtk 4, since i tried it way back and it has not seen any updates for years.
How can I use KDE window decoration in GTK apps?
1 project | /r/kde | 11 Oct 2022

It's incredibly hacky, doesn't work on GTK4 apps, and only functions when using X11, but if those aren't deal breakers for you, than gtk3-nocsd might be what you're looking for. It forces GTK3 applications to use the same system side decorations that other applications do.
Easy way to convert xfwm4 to gtkrc?
1 project | /r/xfce | 7 Sep 2022

OK then. I think you want the more typical version of things. Stop Appearance and the like looking that way. The best option currently is this. I don't know what distro you're using so I can't say how you would install it exactly, sure you can figure that out.

Is there a way to force a "normal" titlebar into GTK Apps?
1 project | /r/kde | 25 Jan 2022

It's not a Gtk style. It's a plugin/hack you need to install externally. https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd
