Elementary OS 7
I have noticed in one of your comments in this thread that you are looking for novel ideas of the UI look. As others commenters stated, you might be interested in tiling window managers like i3 [0] or sway [1]. They are truly a gem for productivity and sometimes for an eye [2].
However, I love the concept of scrollable window manager like PaperWM [3] is. When I had a smaller screen (24" 16:9) I was complaining a lot on unused space on my screen. With PaperWM I was finally happy with its dimensions, because I could have huge IDE on the left and small part of terminal displayed on the right. That way I knew if something was printed to terminal, while my editor took 80% of the screen.

Gtk3 theme for dialogs?
Some resources which I've found to be helpful (beyond search results for specific things): - SwayWM wiki and (as always) ArchWiki - https://luxagraf.net/src/guide-to-switching-i3-to-sway - https://www.codejam.info/2022/05/migrating-x11-wayland-i3-sway.html - https://anarc.at/software/desktop/wayland/ - https://arewewaylandyet.com/ - https://www.fosskers.ca/en/blog/wayland

'Dynamic' window rules?
I have tried myself. You may want to look at the script in the swaywm contrib https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/contrib/inactive-windows-transparency.py
I saw this https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/5323

Anyone here use tiling window managers?
Hi! HHKB user since 2004. Linux user since '95. I've been using tiling window managers for about 20 years. I've tried a few. Ratpoison first, then ion, then xmonad, then spectrwm (which is my favourite), but since I moved to wayland a couple of years ago, I've settled on sway (https://swaywm.org/). Meta-Return spawns a terminal (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot, which is blazingly fast, using very little resources). Meta-/ spawns a chromium. Meta-Shift-/ spawns chrome. Besides the last two I mentioned, I use the default bindings, which work nice. As a final touch, if you are using X11 and are a emacs user, you can try https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm, which turns emacs itself into a window manager, allowing to never ever leave emacs for anything. Phew! That was a mouthful! :-)

Tech support thread for January, 2023 -- ask your tech support questions in this thread, please
First screen is the built-in of the laptop, 2nd screen is connected by HDMI. I found out that the offending update was going from sway 1.7 to 1.8. I found other people with seemingly the same bug but their workaround didn't seem to work. https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7352 haven't had the chance to look into it more.
