Release - 1.0 Themes As you would expect, it has all the obvious theming features of Gnome Tweaks minus the fonts part. You can change the GTK Theme, change icons and more. What Tweaks does not support as of now is GTK 4 theming and this is where Evolve starts to make a difference. Evolve provides you not only with complete GTK 4 support but also Global Themes which take care of everything starting from applying gtk-3.0 theme, gnome-shell theme and even gtk-4.0 theme. Applying a Global Theme app

Hasn’t been released fully yet by the developer but looks interesting.

    GNOME is notorious for being against themes the way Evolve does it, mainly because themes might override default themes set by the app developers. While it does result in GNOME being more polished and coherent, some feel that it’s too limiting, especially with an ecosystem like Linux’s. It’s essentially the trade-off you get.

    Libadwaita is notorious for this - libadwaita does not allow theming by default, and apps stick out like a sore thumb on anything that doesn’t run GNOME. Gradience helps match libadwaita apps to a colour scheme, and it’s what I use to make Easy Effects blend as well as possible with KDE (FWIW, Easy Effects has no KDE equivalent).

        Unless you’re writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you’ll run into Gnome’s limitations when working.

        Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you’ve got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.

        When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I’m a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.
