(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.

Oh god dammit. Which version did this happen in?

Unfortunately for Linux it seems the non-GTK alternatives are either not as far along, or run in the browser.

Gajim is a daily driver for me, Kaidan isn't far enough along, and Dino is even more Gnomed from the get-go.

    Which version did this happen in?

    2.3.0, according to their new website, though I found out about it at a much later version.

    ahh okay, I'm already using a newer version, so my acceptance of the Gnomification is "priced in" so to speak.

    I did however put in a calendar event repeating every 6 months to check in on Kaidan and see how they're doing, and once it's far enough along, I'll switch and start contributing bug reports and such.
