(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.)

Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV).

So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.

    This is why we run Gajim 1.9.5 in flatpak.

    Which. Got removed from flathub, so to install it on our laptop, we had to do some kind of weird flatpak sideloading thing.

    On our laptop we’ve been using Gajim 2.something from Debian 13 (our desktop runs testing so we can’t do that there). It’s not Full Gnomified. It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send. So… yeah.

    Someone should fork Gajim pre-2.

      The latest pre-libadwaita version of Gajim is 2.2.0, I don’t think there were any problems with that version.

      It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send.

      I remember that Gajim installed from Flatpak wouldn’t allow drag’n’drop functionality at all.

        Funnily enough, Gajim from Flatpak (1.9.5) does drag and drop just fine!

        I can’t remember what version we’ve got on our laptop– [can’t we just check packages.debian.org?] right! It’s 2.1.1-2, apparently. Good to hear that 2.2.0 is non-adwaitified, that sounds like a good place to fork from.
