gtk3-mushrooms VS WhiteSur-gtk-theme

It is not about KDE/Breeze, from what I have read, the issue is with GTK(3.) One fix, not 100%, but almost pefect fix is to switch out GTK3 with GTK3-Classic.

GTK3 does indeed suck. That's why I run it with these patches.

Unfortunately they also lost tons of functionality in the process. The fact that typing on a file picker starts a recursive search instead of simply jumping to the file/folder with the prefix you typed, is nothing short of hilarious.

Gtk-classic is the only thing that keeps me sane https://github.com/lah7/gtk3-classic

The KDE Server-Side Decoration is also really powerful, allowing easy Maximize Horizontally/Vertically, window shading/hiding, and moving windows between virtual desktop/workspace, all while being able to be hidden when maximized for that extra screen space when I'm on my old 768p laptop and why I use gtk3-classic to get that SSD. Also, Window Rules -- they're very, very handy to get windows and apps to start and behave in a certain way by default.

I highly recommend gtk3-classic.

It's a bug when it stalls out your computer for 2-3 seconds because the file picker is doing a recursive search through all of your files.

Luckily, the patches that fix this (along with some other bugs and anti-features) are actively maintained by community members, despite being ignored by the GNOME project.

gtk3-classic will move them out of the titlebar, but if you want them completely gone you're better off switching to applications that haven't fully embraced CSDs like Gedit.

The GTK3 filechooser is the reason I switched to gtk3-classic.

Use gtk3-classic.

Gnome Shell Theme: WhiteSur Theme with modified accent colors from the .css file where I changed the green color (had installed the green varient) with the baby blue/almost cyan color.

Then this is where you want to report it

If you like the aesthetics of MacOS, you could try Big Sur Theme. In the repo there are instructions on how to apply the theme into gtk3 and gtk4 apps and also on libadwaita apps.

I have written https://taoofmac.com for the last 20 years, and have spent the last year progressively using GNOME and Fedora more and more.

I use the WhiteSur GTK theme (https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) so that I don't have to decipher the nuances of the standard GNOME iconography (some of it is... well, not as pretty, and definitely not as intuitive).

I love this setup, but if GNOME decides to keep breaking user themes, I will have to look elsewhere (most likely a different Fedora spin, although definitely not KDE).

Thank you, I am looking for stylepak. Moreover I corrected the spelling error in the post! with "--flatpak" option I was referring to the Readme of the WhiteSur gtk theme, but actually looking into the install.sh there is no option for it.

Close to macOS is just the rice I use https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme
