Akira should use systems GTK theme, not enforce some specific one

Created on 5 Apr 2020  路  1Comment  路  Source: akiraux/Akira

Akira right now seems to enforce elementary look. From my knowledge it is not an elementary, but a general GTK app, so should act by itself like one and not go for a specific GTK- and Icon theme.

We discussed a lot about this approach since the beginning of the project and we decided to enforce the elementary OS theme for many reasons.
The most obvious are:

  • Ability to fully control the UI and UX of the application on every platform.
  • Offer a consistent user experience to everyone.
  • Remove the burden of supporting a million different DEs and Themes.
  • Keep the focus on the architecture instead of spending time fixing themes issues.
