(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.)

Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV).

So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.

    So this is a “don’t move my cheese” post?

    I understand the need the vent from time to time, but most people have/create blogs for such things. Maybe it’s just time to look for another xmpp client.

      No, a lot of previously good tools got entirely unusable (like, buttons/tabs not working) outside Gnome with the move to gtk4. Granted, most of them Gnome tools. While not-Gnome tools generally work, but look out of place by not folllowing any user settings.

      And also the brain-worm of “simplified” (useless) settings menu.
