I tried the Flatpak development release of GIMP 3 and there are already big problems with UI consistency.

For example the forced theming makes it unusable on KDE, this issue describes the too big UI very well and in general it seems like it doesnt make sense to have these huge UI elements on a compact App like GIMP.

Meanwhile apps like Inkscape are on GTK4 afaik, and GTK stands for GIMP ToolKit (or GNU ToolKit?). So its kinda ironic they are upgrading to GTK3 just now.

It seems they are also just doing some cleanup in the code, so I wonder how big the step to GTK4 would be?

And it problems like too large UI elements or theming problems could be fixed.

    Dark reader works? I am using dark background light text and that doesnt work, also some addons are not yet in the Thunderbird store. I can recommend ublock origin with custom *.zip *.mov filters, essential

    Thunderbird got better, even though advanced filters are now gone? Not sure when.

    But modern Toolkits are important especially for Wayland support

      Ok I admit I never thought about using ublock on thunderbird but it sounds interesting, could you explain what advantages it and those filters give? As far as I know TB already blocks some elements within emails for security and privacy purposes

        I’ve set Thunderbird to only use simple html without loading of resources. That should take care of all tracking and exploits, so I don’t think ublock is necessary unless loading images etc. is important.

        Yes Adblocking is often not needed and may slow down your TB. But people putting filenames with *.mov and *.zip in them would mean you click them and actually open URLs, as these are now registered TLDs. A very stupid idea of Google
