Updated GTK3 tray menu icon constants for Preferences/Quit to use bundled zc-menu-* icon names, fixing theme-missing icon issues in Windows menu/dropdown contexts.
updated the input entry creation to stop creating a separate emoji button, and instead enable GTK’s built-in emoji menu icon with show-emoji-icon on GTK3+ builds only (no GTK2 fallback path).
Added a unified theme application pipeline via fe_apply_theme_for_mode() and fe_apply_theme_to_toplevel(), and routed auto-mode refresh logic through it so palette + GTK input styling are applied consistently from one place.
Switched startup and settings-apply flows to use the unified theming function, replacing direct palette-only calls so system-mode detection → theme apply is consistent across initialization and preferences changes.
Applied native titlebar updates when top-level windows are shown and during setup reapply across open sessions, and wired Windows builds to link dwmapi in both Meson and MSVC project files.
Updated user list creation to apply the current input font in GTK3 when palette styling is applied, so the user list reflects font changes consistently.
Updated channel view creation in GTK3 to always pass the current input font to chanview_new, ensuring channel list typography starts with the configured font.
Updated settings re-apply logic to always include the current input font for the user list in GTK3, so runtime font updates take effect there as well.
Added a GTK3-only helper to translate Pango font fields into font-family, font-size, font-style, font-weight, font-variant, and font-stretch CSS declarations while preserving GTK2 behavior under #if !HAVE_GTK3.
Reused the GTK3 font CSS helper in the main UI font styling path to eliminate remaining Pango font: shorthand usage that triggers GTK3 theme parsing warnings.
Exposed the GTK3 font CSS helper in gtkutil so callers can emit CSS-compliant font properties consistently.
Guarded tree view palette application to use GTK3 font descriptions or GTK2 styles appropriately.
Adjusted the chanview creation call site to pass GTK3 font descriptions or GTK2 styles based on the build.
Introduced a servlist table-attach helper and applied it across servlist UI attachments to keep GTK_FILL/GTK_EXPAND confined to GTK2-only paths while setting GTK3 alignment/margins explicitly.
Added GTK3 icon-name macros and applied them to tab menu/search button icon usage in maingui.c, keeping GTK2 stock fallbacks intact.
Introduced GTK3 icon-name helpers and macro splits for server list buttons/connect controls in servlistgui.c.
Tightened GTK2/GTK3 icon macro separation in sexy-spell-entry.c.
Switched channel tree and theme application logic to use the new palette helper.
Updated entry and user list styling to route palette/font application through the helper.
Applied gtk_box_set_homogeneous() in GTK3 branches where the GTK2 code requested homogeneous layout (e.g., dialog hboxes).
Updated remaining helpers and setup/preferences UI box constructors (including the shared mg_box_new helper) to follow the same GTK3/GTK2 branching approach consistently across src/fe-gtk/
Updated setup color selection and styling to use RGBA-aware GTK3 overrides/CSS while preserving GTK2 behavior in guarded paths.
Switched tree view color models/renderers and other palette consumers (user list, notify, DCC, menus, spell entry, input style) to RGBA-aware types/properties with shared RGB16 conversion usage.
Updated main GUI layout construction to use mg_box_new for topic bars, text areas, meters, search/entry bars, dialog buttons, and generic tabs to keep GTK3-friendly box creation consistent while preserving GTK2 behavior.
Switched the GTK frontend build logic to select GTK2/GTK3 dependencies and emit corresponding preprocessor defines.
Added GTK3 GtkGrid/alignment handling and GTK3 GtkBox replacements for the channel list controls while preserving GTK2 table behavior behind guards.
Switched the ban list layout to use GtkGrid under GTK3 with GTK2 table fallback for checkbox placement.
Updated main GTK UI layouts to use GTK3 GtkGrid/GtkBox and alignment/attachment logic (quit dialog, topic bar, search/entry, chanview placement, main window table) while keeping GTK2 behavior via HAVE_GTK3 guards.
- Replaced the dark mode checkbox with an Auto/Dark/Light color mode selector and ensured palette edits use the resolved mode.
- Applied the resolved color mode consistently across palette saving and GTK styling in the user list and channel tree/theme application paths.
- Added a Cairo surface → RGBA pixbuf conversion helper that unpremultiplies ARGB32 data for GTK2 compatibility while keeping window snapshots Cairo-based.
- Updated window snapshotting to use the new Cairo surface conversion instead of gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface
- Updated xtext palette APIs to accept internal color arrays directly for rendering setup.
- Wired xtext palette creation through UI entry points to use the new palette helper when constructing or refreshing text views.
-Replaced GtkStyle application in the channel tree view with explicit base/text/font modifications to avoid style attach/detach issues on teardown.
-Updated user list styling to apply the font directly instead of setting a shared GtkStyle instance.
-Switched color button updates to use background modifications instead of creating per-button styles, reducing detach warnings on shutdown.
- Updated GtkXText to track the draw window and use a pixmap-to-surface helper for Cairo contexts, avoiding drawable references in the struct and rendering flow.
- Added a Cairo helper for capturing window-backed surfaces and used it when blitting during scrolling, fixing the build break from the removed drawable helper.
Added cairo surface tracking and context creation helpers for xtext rendering, including state initialization for the new draw surface field.
Replaced GdkPixmap-based offscreen text buffering with cairo surfaces and routed rendering/underline/strikethrough operations through the cairo context helper.
Replaced GDK source helpers in the text rendering pipeline with Cairo surface/color helpers for lines, backgrounds, and blits.
Updated render sizing to use window dimensions and switched window copy paths to Cairo surfaces.
