Help wanted on modifying the GUI #1538
-
|
Hello! I'm a long-time Paint.NET user and am super happy that we have this alternative here, but I'm not a big fan of the flat GUI. I know Gnome users love it but I find it a bit uncomfortable to use. It's my first time working with an open-source program this big so I'd like to know how difficult it would be to create a little fork to change the GUI, giving it a more shaded and 'old' feel. Looking at the codebase I don't seem to find the files responsible for that, I'm wondering if it's using some external Gnome theme that's difficult to customize, but in any case, what files could I thinker with to get started with this? Thank you guys in advance :) |

The widget styling is coming from libadwaita and/or GTK - we don't do any adjustment of that in Pinta. I don't know how easy that is to tweak, but perhaps some css styles could override it |
