Ooohhh GTK 4.18 has proper accessibility on Windows and macOS for the first time!! Exciting https://blog.gtk.org/2025/02/01/whats-new-in-gtk-winter-2025-edition/
@fasterthanlime Via AccessKit too, which should benefit a bunch of UI frameworks that also build on that.
@fasterthanlime
wait what?
how did GTK get away with not having accessibility under windows??
@tthbaltazar @fasterthanlime pretty much because nobody ever contributed code for it in the past 20 odd years, and most of us are not Windows developers
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io TIL the GTK blog has activitypub integration. Nice
@fasterthanlime Gtk 4 is slowly moving into the direction of becoming the best major version of Gtk. I hope it’ll continue doing that
@fasterthanlime That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. WX has been accessible forever, then QT started to become more accessible, and now it's GTK's turn to fall in line. :D
@fasterthanlime Oh hi. I wrote most of the code in the new GTK AccessKit backend. Still a work in progress, and it currently relies on an unreleased version of the accesskit-c package. I need to make some time to put in a bit more work on that before 4.18 comes out.
@matt thanks for all your work!!
@fasterthanlime @pitermach What framework does ultimate vocal remover use?
@benblatch @pitermach looks like TkInter (Tcl/Tk): https://github.com/Anjok07/ultimatevocalremovergui/blob/master/gui_data/sv_ttk/sun-valley_darwin.tcl
@fasterthanlime This is actually pretty damn huge. I know of a lot of apps that use GTK that could benefit from this
@fasterthanlime Ooooh. This is @matt's work starting to show up, I wasn't entirely sure but that's awesome!
@fasterthanlime oh, the hell froze!
sorry, I had to.
it was an eternity.
