  • kitty

    Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

  • For what it's worth Kitty appears to be open to libdecor though, and one of alacritty's dependencies is also open to it, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

  • winit

    Window handling library in pure Rust

  • For what it's worth Kitty appears to be open to libdecor though, and one of alacritty's dependencies is also open to it, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  • I guess in the end this is all just superficial, no real functionality is lost by not trying to do consistent theming so might as well save the effort and focus on fixing bugs or whatever else, plus GNOME does support switching apps between light and dark modes officially if the app does through this protocol so the worst of it should be taken care of.
