any way to make this dark like the rest of the app

jg, this probably depends on your desktop environment, but you may try setting GTK_CSD=1 in your environment to force Gajim to draw its own decorations.

Or you check the settings on your DE

Maybe it's not set to dark mode

> jg, this probably depends on your desktop environment, but you may try setting GTK_CSD=1 in your environment to force Gajim to draw its own decorations. im on windows if that makes a difference ↺

jg: please see https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11851

> jg: please see https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11851 weird that they still recommend a workaround so many years later, is this project still in active development? ↺

they still haven't fixed a crash due to a certain message after 6 months, it's not really going fast

like there still isn't voice feature for windows yet, and I always donate to foss projects but this one doesnt seem to be active enough

that is, if you mean gtk, this is not really a gajim bug

i use mostly foss apps on my windows desktop and those apps dont have any issue with dark mode at all and they have all the same features as the linux variant they are active

gtk for gnome not windows i believe

jg, have you tested `GTK_CSD=1 /path/to/gajim.exe` ?

`set GTK_CSD=1`works for me on Win10

voker57: > they still haven't fixed a crash due to a certain message after 6 months, it's not really going fast This is a pango bug, which lovetox has reported upstream. Nontheless, there's a workaround by setting the env `GAJIM_FORCE_WORD_WRAP=1`, but then word wrapping is broken. ✏

we have a better solution, which cal0pteryx, will push soon

> Right now it's still 1.9.3 on MS Store On the Gajim's website it's said that Gajim is version 1.9.5 on Windows Store, but on my Windows Store it is still at 1.9.3 ↺

Why is this?

What should I do to force an update?

if it says 1.9.3 on store, that might be a ci/cd thing, maybe check build status?

oh god, microsoft...

> if it says 1.9.3 on store, that might be a ci/cd thing, maybe check build status? Where can I view such build status for MS Store apps? ↺

Seems like the solution is installing Linux `/hj`

im trying to find it rn, am clueless

> Seems like the solution is installing Linux `/hj` I am a Linux user ↺

i mean, if it really doesnt work, you have 2 workaround paths

This is one of the rare times I *need* to be on Windows 💀

1: you could install a rolling release distro in wsl, and install gajim on there or 2: you could just install the daily build for windows, but you wouldnt have automatic updates afaik

> i mean, if it really doesnt work, you have 2 workaround paths Linux or build it myself on Windows? ↺

wsl doesnt work on all hardware tho

but id go with the wsl workaround if u can get it running

Well I guess I'll use that standalone binary from the Gajim website then

It's a temporary solution, I'm gonna go back to Linux anyways later

fair

1.9.5 will not be released for windows store

> 1.9.5 will not be released for windows store Why ↺

it was not accepted because of a change we did

> This is one of the rare times I *need* to be on Windows 💀 😢 ↺

What change?

We tried moving Gajim's user data directory, which needed a policy change for Gajim's MS Store manifest. That was denied, and now we're working around that in the upcoming version

Can I just try to replace gdbus.exe from v1.9.5 with the latest nightly to test if it _doesn't_ crash every time when closing Gajim? Or are there too many dependencies?

try it

Ok, so `gdbus.exe` crashes on exit because of `libgio-2.0-0.dll`. If you take only the `libgio-2.0-0.dll` from the latest nightly, it won't crash anymore.

great, so it got fixed in recent releases

Yeah but I'm never gonna see those releases (on Windows at least), I'm afraid, because it's impossible to work with GTK4's font rendering.

yes Gtk4 has problems with font rendering on Windows, but we will report it and they will hopefully fix them some day

lovetox, I believe this has been addressed many times and the response was "get a monitor with a higher DPI, now scram".

i thought you had a hidpi monitor

Me? No?
