I use GNOME and I prefer all app to look same. Sure there are some apps, that wont look same, but how many? 5 of 100? I am fine with this. 70 of 100? I should switch to KDE maybe? 40 of 100?That is bad. Which would be if I use Cosmic? Probably 40 of 100?
Anyway. People mostly do not care at all, so I think Cosmic will be usefull for people and be fine.
That’s already not possible on GNOME because some GNOME applications hardcode their theme, others use libadwaita, some use GTK4 without libadwaita, some use GTK3, and there may still be a GTK2 app lingering around here and there in the repos (ie: GIMP).
Few people are going to care that there’s a GTK application installed on their COSMIC desktop. COSMIC will automatically generate GTK3/4 themes to match the system theme. We may even automatically generate a libadwaita theme, so it will look “same enough”.

Sounds cool. Thanks for your time, I’ll definitely check Cosmic out when it is ready.
