Simon Steinbeiß released today a new version of Xubuntu’s default Xfce theme Greybird, versioned 3.23.0, which adds initial support for the GTK4 toolkit, paving the way for a more modern look and feel of Xubuntu and the Xfce desktop environment.

Almost six months in development, Greybird 3.23.0 is here to introduce initial support for GTK4 and libhandy in an attempt to make the popular Xfce theme, which is used by default in recent Xubuntu releases, more modern and keep it up with the times. GTK4 support means that Grebird will play nice with recent GTK4 apps.

For those not familiar with libhandy, it’s a library used for creating mobile versions of GTK and GNOME apps, so Greybird getting libhandy support could mean that it might see a version of the Xfce desktop environment on mobile operating systems like ExpidusOS, which is still in very alpha stage.
