What’s New in macOS Big Sur: Human Interface Guidelines

Yep, getting real gnome 3 vibes from it. Compare their mailing app image to geary[1]. Even though they're browner I kind of prefer gnome's toolbar because they're more obviously interactive. I guess it's not such a big problem is you use iOS maybe, but I don't.

For all the flak that the GtkHeaderBar control got - at least a button looks like a button in the standard Adwaita theme.

It looks so much like Gnome that I was honestly surprised.

The new header bars and merged controls are almost exact matches... I wonder if they'll contribute anything back upstream

What would they contribute from that?

I'd pay for a well engineered macOS 11 theme for GNOME. Perhaps when GTK4 is out end of this year with support for blurred transparency shaders. Though I got to say Adwaita improved a lot recently.

I’d pay for a decent macOS keybinding theme for gnome, any price. Who gives a damn about the look, app marketers?

Kinto might be what you’re looking for:

Oh wow, I was skeptical but that definitely seems like an improvement.

Heck, figure out how to let me use macOS keybindings on Windows and I'll give you a medal. The need to use (non-idiomatic, clumsy) Windows shortcuts on my MBP's keyboard is the reason I don't use Boot Camp.

autohokey is your friend

Sadly, auto hot key does not allow rebinding the native toolkits keybinding schemes, at least not without per-app significant effort or removing things like readline bindings.

I don't have the link on hand but I saw a project recently where someone did this. Themes have been around but this guy did keyboard shortcuts and a few other tweaks all packaged up.

What's a macOS keybinding theme? I'm curious as the macOS workflow is totally alien to me.

Well, you start with the meta key.

elementaryOS is probably pretty close already...

If only it were not based on ubuntu or debian, I'd use it. Not a fan of either.
