@allanday describes some good methods to keep on top of issue tracking in the new GNOME Handbook.

Sketch Friday is here! I need to trace some of these. Been doing sketches and leaving the vectors to others, cheating myself of the Inkscape pleasures.

One of the downsides of easily managed color mixing using SASS in gtk was that none of it was accessible to app developers. Only a few @colors were avail. Few apps that needed to do some color customizations actually shipped the whole of adwaita SASS theme and regenerated their bits.

Such awful hacks are no longer necessary. I'm glad to see @alice ' amazing work on custom CSS properties landing. Thank you for the continuous care from the perspective of app developers!

From the binned wallpapers vault. Some Silverblue and RHEL assets that didn't make it.

Opened up Apostrophe to edit a README and it launched in its sleek 3.0 version. Life is good.

Pointless eyecandy transitions. Can't get enough of.

We have to go deeper. A website switching to a dark mode including renders of hardware illuminated by screenshots also switching to dark mode.

Whoever says icon themes work has not worked on icon themes for 25 years.

@danirabbit We've collaboratively not touched semantic name lookup for 18 years. Because that's a road to nowhere. Having a minimal set of stock icons in a toolkit is an even older idea that I can get behind.

@danirabbit Fair enough. I'll avoid venting frustrations here and keep it for pixels only.

Had an impressively large pigeon poop on my car, so the Friday sketches are very thematic.

Can't stop nerding out about JPEG-XL.

Not just an insane compression, color-banding-busting grain FTW!

@alatiera Too kind. My son started running, beat me in 2 days and the next week casually ran a half marathon. Kids these days.

I hate when I hear a post-hardcore song I love the sound of on my streaming radio, and then listen to the lyrics and it’s about like… working out??

@cassidy Not every track can be about the pains of the anaconda installer. ;)

Bandcamp Friday tomorrow! If you feel like supporting small fish, Bandcamp somehow still remains being the best.
