    GTK 4 was released in 2020, they also dropped the plus from the name in 2019. GTK 4 is much more opinionated and GNOME oriented than 3, I don’t know if XFCE will ever switch to it honestly. It is always possible thought, the Elementary desktop uses GTK4 and still manages to be visually distinct from GNOME.

      Yup, considering they deprecated so many functions and removed them I’d imagine switching would be really hard.

      Even while writing my new projects in gtk4 (tiny projects) I run into problems of many solutions no longer working because the functions are removed without any replacements.
