@lovetox

2.3.1 is also for windows.

If you want to notify someone, just write the name, i.e. without a leading @

hannibal that means they have solved the problems for Windows? I try without a @ ✏

Yes

> zhangede: all relevant info can be found here https://gajim.org/posts/2025-06-29-gajim-2.3.0-released/ Windows Releases Windows releases were stuck on Gajim 1.9.5 for a while due to issues with a library Gajim depends on. All these issues have been fixed now, enabling us to provide the most recent versions of Gajim for Windows again ↺

the message still there, that is why i ask.

if you delete this message I will be very thankful.

How do I disable the GNOME window decorations?

It looks terrible in a none-GNOME enviroment.

environment*

And of course, the widgets. I would like to use my system theme like any other sane application.

Hey, I see that Gajim has a design change in the recent releases (one of them being 2.3.0). I found this PR https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/1149 But it doesn't have any description on how that design process actually happened. Was it by looking at the Gnome Design Guidelines or was there something else also involved? I am designing things myself and I heard good words about Gajims redesign so I want to at least try to follow on the same footsteps 😊

> the message still there, that is why i ask. zhangede: Which message? I'm confused.

Hund: search for CSD in the context of gnome. Those are window decorations. Maybe you find something which suits your needs

The message is unclear? It says we _had_ issues which are _resolved now_

MSavoritias (fae, ve): that's nice to hear! Mainly looking at Adw docs (they have pages on styling, widgets, and layout). See https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1.0/adaptive-layouts.html and https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1.0/boxed-lists.html for example

Also this, yes https://developer.gnome.org/hig/

> The message is unclear? It says we _had_ issues which are _resolved now_ We waited for already 6 Months. I just can not believe it. It is clear now to me. ↺

zhangede: yes, the wait is over. Finally, we have Windows releases back

cal0pteryx, will take a look. thank you 🙂

Hello, congratulations for v2.3.1 !

I would like to correct a translation to italian

https://share.conversations.im/resoli/message/PxakDOXL3C1NS4Kr/Schermata_del_2025-07-01_12-02-37.png

_Meschino_is something like Petty in english (Mesquin in french)

I suppose it should be a translation of _Me_ ('Io' in italian)

I saw the page about translations: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/wikis/development/DevTranslate

Register there than you can contribute the change

But currently https://translate.gajim.org redirects me to an authentication page: https://auth.leboulanger.org

cal0pteryx: > Hund: search for CSD in the context of gnome. Those are window decorations. Maybe you find something which suits your needs What do you mean? I'm pretty sure that you can't disable that crap, but I just wanted to ask and make sure that I'm not wrong.

In the past https://translate.gajim.org was an instance of weblate, and i was registered there. ✏

This is a new problem with the domain, will check later

Thanks lovetox

Hund: then you're out of options I guess. If you expect help, please refrain from using profanity

"I don't like this" and "It is crap" makes a huge difference ;)

cal0pteryx: I'm just being honest. While it's their decision, it's a bad decision to exclude most of the users.

Hund: it's your opinion, not a fact. Overall feedback is quite positive so far.

cal0pteryx: I bet, if you're a GNOME user or if you don't care about native software. :D

It's obviously Gajims choice and while I respect it, I still think it's a terribly poor move that makes no sense at all. I now have to look for options as Gajim is no longer useable. :(

The menu bar is missing now as well. How am I suppose to exit this gnome app?

Preferences, choose to terminate on closing via the titlebar's X button, right click the tray icon or the titlebar and exit there or Alt+F4.

Gajim asks what you want to do when clicking the close button.

I'm on Plasma and value consistency and theming a lot too, but in the end functionality is what matters for me. However, tbh, I find it quiet pretty, even if it looks a bit alien on my system. (There's libadapta by the Mint team, advertised as a drop in replacement for libadwaita, which supports theming, but someone would need to invest resources into such a fork if they can't live otherwise with the status quo. I would not suggest doing that.) Btw you could switch to linux mint, they apparently now ship a patched version of libadwaita :D https://github.com/orgs/linuxmint/discussions/989#discussioncomment-13609853

Hund, last but not least, Kaidan got an NLgrant for implementing muc, legacy omemo and such to become compatible with the rest of the ecosystem. Might be worth for you to look into.

Anyone having issues adding account on flatpak?

Is there a way I can force the app to use server-side decorations instead of libadwaita's client-side decorations?

I rather liked how it looked before since it just used my KDE decorations

No

:(

Hi here, just helped someone with Gajim and it seems confusing that the "Show Notifications" (under "Notifications" tab in account management) is a menu, because unless you click on it it's not visualy evident this is a menu with multiple parameters inside

can we make it evident or even better: move all notifications parameters outside of this menu, directly under the "Visual Notifications" area?

for that particular option yes the sub dialog seems not necessary
