I was really interested in this a couple of weeks ago, and tried to find information. But all the information is rather old (2017 / 2018) and there're also no up-to-date Youtube Videos that show it in action. They added new things like list views and popovers (apparently) but I found it tricky to see what that looks like, how it works, etc. Does somebody have more information on that?

If you are using Arch, you can install gtk4 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk4/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk4/) from AUR and run: gtk4-demo to see its appearance. GDK_BACKEND=wayland might be needed for I found x11 backend's pretty sluggish. Debian users may install https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gtk-4-examples https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gtk-4-examples

  RPM equivalent is gtk4-devel (here: version 3.98.2), provides /usr/bin/gtk4-demo and /usr/bin/gtk4-demo-application. I just tried them. A pox on you, Gnome developers! You yet again broke the colour scheme. It comes as no surprise, you did so with (at least) versions 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.16, 3.18… You have been doing that over such a long time (>9 years) and so often that even seasoned desktop environment developers working on infrastructure throw up their hands and walk away in disgust. See https://github.com/QtCurve/qtcurve-gtk3 https://github.com/QtCurve/qtcurve-gtk3 and https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotti... Gnome developers truly deserve the moniker of shame "cascade of attention deficit teenagers" because you absolutely do not take responsibility for the outcome of your decisions and refuse to acknowledge that environments other than Gnome exist where end users might want to run Gtk applications (e.g. Firefox).
