The SSD in GNOME still works for X11 apps. For now the only path for old apps that need SSD is to continue using the X11 backend in Electron and SDL.
For GNOME, SSD was never in the plan with wayland, so this is not breaking compatibility with apps there because it was never supported.
- phkahler 5y ago>> so this is not breaking compatibility with apps there because it was never supported. It's not breaking GTK apps. If they want to say GNOME really only works with GTK apps that's fine and the toolkit will provide the decorations and nobody needs to care which part of the system draws them. But they want to support more than just GTK apps and rightly so.
- zxzax 5y agoFrom what I have seen, I don't believe they ever intended to support those apps that didn't provide decorations. The move towards CSD was intentional for them and started 10 years ago, and supporting those CSD apps is the primary focus. This wasn't a problem for Qt apps either because Qt does provide decorations.
