Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?

    Gnome refuses to implement Server Side Decorations on Wayland (because… reasons) so applications are forced to draw their own. Kitty’s decorations are very bare bones and ugly. Alacritty’s decorations match much better with the rest of Gnome.

      I see. And I do like CSD over SSD, :)

      The alacritty decorations are just plain simple GTK bar, so you’ll see the simple regular GTK bar for applications not embedding CSDs withing the apps same one on electron apps (signal-desktop, slack-electron, and so on) get. In the case of a terminal emulator that’s understandable, it needs the space… I was trying to paste a snapshot, or attach a simple image here, but didn’t find how to, and I won’t do any sort of patebin right now. So I don’t consider that simple bar, nice decorations, but they do what they’re meant to, so that’s fine for me. I guess it look better on gnome though. I use wayfire + waybar + …, and GTK apps work pretty well there, and I have installed and currently use materia dark theme, and the look is good in general for me. As I don’t like kitty, I really don’t remember how worse it is in comparison, but I still consider alacritty bar not so impressive, hehe.
