Use ‘Ear Tag’ to Quickly Edit Audio Tags on Linux

We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to audio tag editors for Linux, but ever heard the expression ‘sometimes less is more’? It sounds silly but hey: it’s a maxim that resonates with me. Take Ear Tag, a new music tag editor for Linux written in Python and using GTK4/libadwaita. Its a simple, straightforward tool that lets you quickly edit audio tags for individual music files. Unlike fully-featured MP3 tag editors like Kid3, Tagger, or MusicBrainz Picard, Ear Tag doesn’t try to manage your entire music library. And though it can edit metadata for multiple audio files at once it’s :sys_more_orange:

NewsFlash 2.0 Released with GTK 4 Port and Support for More RSS Services

RSS fans rejoice for a brand-new version of NewsFlash, a GTK RSS reader for Linux desktops, is out! NewsFlash 2.0 is the biggest update to this nifty news reader for a while. It sees devs finish work on the much-anticipated GTK 4 & libadwaita port. As a result, NewsFlash looks sharper, more refined, and a lot more consistent within itself. The app now boasts an adaptive layout that responds to screen width, letting the app work on mobile. There’s also reworked tagging support in NewsFlash 2.0. This makes it easier than ever to tag articles you read with a new, :sys_more_orange:

Want to Customise Libadwaita? Try ‘Gradience’

Some see the emergence of libadwaita as an intentional roadblock designed to get in the way of end-user customisation — but a new app added to Flathub this week proves otherwise. Gradience is a nimble desktop app written in Python, GTK4, and libadwaita. Using it you can change each and every colour that appears in the libadwaita theme (as well as the adw-gtk3 theme, should you have it installed). We’re talking background app colour, button colour, toggles, switches, radio boxes, and sliders; menus; dialogs; pop-overs; drop-down lists… There’s even an advanced tab where custom CSS code can be applied. It busts :sys_more_orange:

This GNOME Extension Brings ‘Material You’ Vibes to Linux Desktops

Android fans pining after Material You-inspired personalisation on their Linux desktop need look no further than the following new GNOME Shell extension. When enabled, the ‘Material You Color Theming’ GNOME extension generates a patched version of GNOME desktop’s stock libadwaita theme accented by colours derived from your desktop wallpaper. Each time you change your wallpaper you get to generate a new re-coloured Adwaita theme. This applies to all installed GTK4/libadwaita applications from the archive. The look can also be applied, with a bit of extra effort, to GTK3 apps using the ‘libadwaita’ GTK3 theme, and it can recolour Flatpak apps :sys_more_orange:

Firefox GNOME Theme Now Follows GTK4/libadwaita Styling

Adwaita stans listen up: that exceptional sweet theme pack you can use to make Firefox look like GNOME Web has been updated. And I don’t mean ‘updated’ in the sense it just supports the latest Firefox 102 release – that’s a given. Rather, the Firefox GNOME theme has been updated to follow GTK4/libadwaita styling. Something I know I’ve been waiting for. It means you can very easily make the latest version of the Firefox web browser looks über integrated and ingratiated on the GNOME 42 desktop (well, those GNOME 42 desktops where the default Adwaita theme is in use).

You Can Install GNOME’s New Terminal and Text Editor Apps on Ubuntu 22.04

GNOME 42‘s new Console and Text Editor apps are available to install in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Don’t get too excited by that sentence, mind. Neither Console nor Text Editor have bagged themselves a spot on Ubuntu’s (increasingly engorged) .iso. But both tools are, along with a bevvy of other GTK4/libadwaita ports, available in the Ubuntu 22.04 repo. All you have to do to try them out is run sudo apt install gnome-console gnome-text-editor (or take the scenic route by way of the Ubuntu Software app) and you’re away. But are they actually any good? Well, yes — but you have :sys_more_orange:

Check Out GNOME Shell’s New Look in GNOME 42

GNOME Shell looks a little different in GNOME 42, which is currently in active development. I wasn’t able to showcase the shell theme tweaks in my GNOME 42 alpha post but, over the weekend, fuelled by coffee 😉, I managed to get the correct branch up and running on my Fedora install. I figured I’d write a short post to share some screenshots of the changes I’ve spotted thus far. Just keep in mind GNOME 42 is under active development. Everything shown here is a work in progress and very much subject to change. GNOME 42 embraces libadwaita and its :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 22.04 Aims to Ship GNOME 42, But Few GTK4 Apps

GNOME 42 could still feature in Ubuntu 22.04 when it arrives this April — but don’t expect to see too many GTK4 apps with it. Ubuntu developers say they ‘aim’ to include the bulk of GNOME 42 release in Ubuntu 22.04 but are currently tasked with updating the GNOME Shell stack to the latest GNOME 41 released. GNOME 42 is in active development itself ahead of a stable release in March. The first alpha is expected to drop this month and will feature a fair number of apps ported to and/or taking advantage of GTK4 and libadwaita. But Ubuntu isn’t :sys_more_orange:

Libadwaita 1.0 Arrives to Kickstart a New Era of GTK App Development

Libadwaita 1.0 has been released, kickstarting a new bold new era for GTK apps. Now, there’s been a fair bit of controversy (and misunderstanding) over what libadwaita is and isn’t. It’s pitched as a library that implements the (new) GNOME HIG. It’s a GTK4-based successor to the GTK3-based libhandy library that has, over the past few years, given GTK apps cool adaptive capabilities. Libadwaita is set to become pretty tightly intwined with GNOME as, in a break with the past, this library comes with a stylesheet —what we think of as GTK themes are actually just stylesheets— baked in.
