Initially Pidgin 3 supported both GTK+ 2 and 3 but shortly after Gary took over, GTK+ 2 support was dropped. A few years later, it was then decided we should just bite the bullet and move to GTK 4 instead, as GTK+ 3 was no longer being actively developed which meant we were just creating tech debt. As part of the GTK 4 migration we also pulled in Adwaita even though we’re not an official GNOME application.
yes
Aww man (well it’s fine but ngl libAdwaita fits poorly outside of gnome)
