@ChristianOhrfan is doing an unofficial port which seems very promising!

Christian is already here, btw. See bug 115512. I'm not sure if this separate report is needed, if libadwaita is now implied by bug 115512.

Caolán: since it concerns a suggestion about gtk4, thought you might have some opinion here.
Comment 4 Caolán McNamara 2022-02-03 13:50:28 UTC 
The linked bugs are all in the tabbar which remains *not* using GTK and that's why it doesn't look right. In other words, its not "welded" to use native gtk widgets like the sidebar is.

I don't see that adding libadwaita into the mix would solve any of that.
Comment 5 Eyal Rozenberg 2022-09-19 07:23:53 UTC 
So, is this a separate bug than switching from GTK3 to GTK4?
