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.

Do you know, I think that Dr. Swift was silly to laugh about Laputa. I
believe it is a mistake to make a mock of people, just because they think.
There are ninety thousand people in this world who do not think, for every
one who does, and these people hate the thinkers like poison. Even if some
thinkers are fanciful, it is wrong to make fun of them for it. Better to
think about cucumbers even, than not to think at all.
