GTK and custom themes - what really happened
That said, I'm not totally convinced about SixtyFPS today. There are some other interesting options that are suitable GUI toolkits for Rust. Such as OrbTk and Iced. Each toolkit is approaching the GUI space in a different way, so it'll be interesting to see where we end up in a few more years. QML-esque SixtyFPS, ECS-based OrbTk, Elm-based Iced, and a few others out there.

Pop should join this new GTK fork
What's written in this article isn't the development of a GTK fork, but some reasoning for exploring alternatives to GTK. There aren't very many suitable candidates in this space, but Rust GUI toolkits like Iced have potential. Personally, I would add that OrbTk is also a suitable candidate.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I use orbtk, it is pretty easy to use, has an active dev team, works on windows mac and linux, and cross compiling from linux to windows is also easy with it. It is still pretty beta, but depending on the project you need it could work. (https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk)

Cross platform native guis in rust
Orbtk is an option. The default is backend is orbraq, which uses OrbClient. OrbClient will use SDL on Linux, and on Redox it should be a "pure" rust experience.

Rust GUI: Introduction, a.k.a. the state of Rust GUI libraries (As of January 2021)

Rust Webkit2GTK Ping Pong Example
I want get a pong back from the app process, but I cant figure out how. I do aware of Boscop Webview and webview_official, but I want to work with Webkit2GTK to have more controls. I really appreciate your kind help.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I prefer Boscop/web-view since it's much less effort to get up and running for use with developing an application written in Rust.

Electron substitute in rust?
I haven't used it, but some others have recommended webview in the past: https://github.com/Boscop/web-view

Making really personalised UI interfaces
As an alternative you can wrap this html ui using web-view or tauri. This would be like a lightweight alternative to electron.
-
Tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
That would be https://github.com/Boscop/web-view

Rust GUI like Python's Tkinter
There's also the option of using something like webview, with webasm and a framework like yew it makes for relatively light and easy to implement GUIs, without having to write any javascript.
