Libadwaita is the successor of libhandy, but for GTK4. + +Among other things, libadwaita provides a set of widgets built on top of +GTK4 as well as the "Adwaita" theme, a coloring API, and a mechanism to +make apps linked against it fit in with a system-wide dark mode +preference. + +NOTE: +This version of libadwaita for Slackware 15.0 has been patched to +support GTK 4.4. libadwaita upstream advertises its minimum version as +4.5, although it does not use any C API that is not provided by version +4.4. However, according to the libadwaita git logs, it libadwaita relies +on some fixes from GTK 4.5+ to work 100% correctly. I have found +libadwaita to work perfectly reasonably with GTK 4.4. Adding one patch +to suppress a CSS runtime warning, the only issue I have run into is +that some fonts may render as larger than the developers have intended, +and window widths and heights are slightly larger as well. + +If you wish to use libadwaita as fully intended by the developers, you +can build a local copy of GTK 4 >= 4.5 on your system. + +Build options: + +BUILDTYPE => customize build type by setting to a value recognized by +meson; eg, BUILDTYPE=debug (defaults to 'release'). + +GTK_DOC => set to 'true' to build API documentation; requires +`gi-docgen` (defaults to 'false'). |
