I took a day to try dig into GTK Inspector - a tool that seems only available on Linux. No worries! I gave Linux an install, DT, gtk3 tools, and tried to get Darktable working with it.
No luck getting GTK Inspector to launch with DT 
. I feel a bit lost here, is there a better way to ‘inspect element’ and see what DT widgets, text elements etc get what UI styling from where?
Are devs typically using sheer knowledge of the source code to make edits? Apologies if this is a hella dumb question.
This is how it works for me on Ubuntu 24.04 (from the command line) :
GTK_DEBUG=interactive /path/to/darktable
Thanks! I think I’ve gotten GTK Inspector running my side as well. Will take some time to see if I can hack any UI together myself. The icons seem to be pulled from libgtk but no clue how to get to that exactly.
Working further on design, I’ve had an idea that might seem objectionable but I think makes sense. Obviously the UI is monochrome always, but maybe in the module chooser we can color code them as such:
Since I find the giant list of text names UI below quite hard to work through. Now one can memorize roughly what category they are after, along with icons for further quick recognition. Feels a bit friendlier.
