Milonga in Flathub!

Cambalache 0.7.4 is now available in Flathub here

For the impatient, simply run this to install it:

flatpak install --user flathub ar.xjuan.Cambalache

Cambalache is a new RAD tool that enables the creation of user interfaces for Gtk and the GNOME desktop environment. It’s main target is Gtk 4 but it has been designed from the ground up to support other versions. It is released under LGPL v2.1 license and you can get the source code and file issues here

Workspace Gtk theme

Would not be nice to have a way to easily change the theme of your app to see how it looks?

Thanks to rendering widgets out of process, setting a different theme for the workspace is trivial to implement. All I had to do is set the theme name in the renderer’s GtkSetting. Keep in mind that flatpak application can not access your host themes, you have to install flatpak Gtk theme extensions!

Template support

All modern applications should use templates extensively! So 0.7.4 has basic support for templates, all you have to do it toggle the Object Id check button of the toplevel widget you want as your template. In the near future I will add the option to use all the templates in a project as just another widget class.

New translations

Thanks to two new contributors Phil and Vojtěch Cambalache now has 3 translations.

• de by PhilProg
• cs by Vojtěch Perník
• es

If you want to see it translated in your language, open an issue with a new MR and I will merge it asap.

Sponsors Credits Section

You can financially support development on Patreon, other options like Liberapay are under consideration.

My goal is to have a steady stream of donations so that I can dedicate at least one day a week to development and hire a part time QA engineer. This would help ensure continuous improvements and keep up with bugs reports.

So many many thanks to all the people that supports Cambalache!
