I remember using pidgin (then called GAIM) on windows and having it fit right in visually, and that's a GTK2 app. It became slightly more noticeable on Windows 7, where UI animations that were present in the Windows UI would be absent due to, I believe, GTK2 not having a proper animation library, but it still looked like a native app. No idea if that's still the case for GTK3 and onward, though.

- brnt 6y agoQuite annoying even on Linux if you use KDE: GTK3 apps stand out like a sore thumb. More than Electron even.
- curioussavage 6y agoThere is a breeze gtk theme available
- brnt 6y agoYes, but if you use a 'modern' GTK3 app (take a recent Meld), the absence of the titlebar (or decorated one, if you are into mdern GTK) really stands out. You're right that with some (older?) GTK apps breeze-gtk-theme used to work pretty well, not sure what changed.
- moistbar 6y agoFor what it's worth, I'm using Evolution (which uses GTK3 now) on KDE and it uses the Breeze theme just fine. It also doesn't use header bars.
- brnt 6y agoIt is used, but with a modified titlebar bar the styling on it seems to be ignored. GTK3 apps that leave the titlebar alone are fine (Quidlibet for instance).
