How to change dark/light nature of libadwaita in non-gnome systems?

@[email protected] @[email protected] I use a window manager on Wayland. I know customising gtk4 apps is hard for some reasons. Neither I want some great level of customisation for it. I do not need uniform theming etc. JUST A simple way to change dark light theme from terminal. I use darkman to switch between dark and light theme. I just need a way to switch between dark and light with libadwaita Please help.

I am once again considering to write my own window manager

...unless the setup I am thinking of is already possible, let me construct this in your head:

On the top of the screen, there is narrow status bar, which is split into two parts. On the right side of the bar, you have your clock, your battery, your signal strength and so on.

On the left side, there is a clickable tab for every window you have opened. It's like browser tabs: Every window always uses the entire space below the status bar.

On the far left, there could be an icon which opens a searchable list of applications, kind of like #dmenu but vertical. Everything supports mouse input as you would expect.

Does that exist? Should I make it? It would be awesome for smaller screens, like phones.

Edit: I should add that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with a single 600 MHz CPU core, 256 MB RAM and a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Existing full desktop environments like Xfce4, LXDE, and so on are way to heavy to run.

Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. @thelinuxEXP @[email protected] @[email protected] @debian

Caps lock key not working on Ubuntu 23.10 Dev branch? or is it only for me? 😞

I've used Linux lite and Fedora(Gnome edition) so far, and trying to hop Distro(plus, I lost my actual boot drive. Not to worry, I know I've left it in my friend's house, so the data is safe. Plus, no important data were on it in the first place). Considering the recent incidents with the Red Hat Enterprises, I'm not sure if I should go with any of their distributions. Which would be a great OS for me, you guys think? @thelinuxEXP @[email protected] @[email protected] @linuxmagazine @linux\_gaming
