(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.

Libadwaita should only be used for Apps designed for Gnome So idk if the xmpp client your using is designed for all des or gnome

    Before the June update Gajim wasn't related to GNOME at all and worked perfectly fine on my Xfce desktop. The update fully switched to GTK4 + libadwaita, and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME's.

    I suppose they changed their design direction...

    Oh. I thought this was just another case of the consequences of the GNOME-ization of GTK but that... probably they want to became part of GNOME.
