GNOME's libadwaita Introduces Adaptive Sidebar Widget

([GNOME] 3 Hours Ago AdwSidebar)


Following last week's [1]GNOME 49 release , This Week in GNOME is out with their latest weekly summary of all interesting GNOME developments. Notable now for this post-49.0 time is libadwaita adding an adaptive sidebar widget.

AdwSidebar has been added to libadwaita as an adaptive sidebar widget. There is also AdwViewSwitcherSidebar as a view switcher variant. These libadwaita additions are intended to be a replacement to GTK's GtkStackSidebar widget.

Those curious about this new libadwaita adaptive sidebar widget and other GNOME changes post-49.0 can see [2]This Week in GNOME for all the details.

Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing ... you just go out and have
a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually -- mostly -- the first
take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.
-- David Gilmour, on the famous guitar solo in "Time"
