About:
Libadwaita is a GTK4 library that provides a collection of modern, adaptive UI components and widgets designed specifically for building GNOME applications. It extends the base GTK toolkit with high-level patterns like leaflet navigation, dialogs, and style helpers, ensuring apps look native and scale across different form factors. Its main value is simplifying the creation of responsive, privacy-focused applications that adhere to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
Key Features:
  • Adaptive widgets (Leaflet, Flap, Squeezer) for responsive layouts
  • Pre-styled components following GNOME design language
  • High-level abstractions for dialogs and navigation patterns
  • Dark mode and system theme integration
Use Cases:
  • Developing native Linux apps for the GNOME desktop
  • Porting existing GTK apps to use modern adaptive designs
  • Creating cross-device UIs that work on desktops and mobile
Alternatives:
  • GTK4 – GTK4 provides the base rendering and widgets; Libadwaita builds higher-level, GNOME-specific patterns on top of it.
  • libhandy – Libadwaita is the successor to libhandy, offering updated components and full GTK4 integration.
