(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.

1000% agree. Had to install an older version of Pinta because it was also gnomed a while back.

While I've yet to contribute to open-source projects aside from reporting issues, I've got my eyes set on something like libadapta. As soon as one of the programs I use on a daily basis gets gnomed, I'm going all in to soft fork libadwaita and restore as many GTK3 features as I can.
