Request: "A Widget Factory"

Message

For those of us interested in creating and modifying GTK2 and GTK3 themes, 'A Widget Factory' is invaluable. It requires development packages be installed in order to compile it, so it would be very helpful to have ready-to-run version in the repository. I have been using it with MX-18.3 for months now without any problems.

A similar package "The Widget Factory" (twf) only works with GTK2, so is not as flexible.

I could have sworn that from within twf, you could just click on the top left button in the toolbar, and you'll see the gtk3 widgets rendered....

I'm not at my computer right now.

It will help the repo guys if you provide some information and links about where you obtained your version...

@asqwerth: If that's the case, that's also how AWF works. I might have had an earlier version of TWF or something because I don't recall it working with GTK3. But it's been awhile. TWF is also not in the repository.

Oops. My mistake. It was AWF, and I have it on Manjaro and another Arch-based distro, not MX.

I got confused because on MX and those 2, I have oomox, albeit I have the flatpak version in MX. But looks like AWF itself is installed only in those other 2 distros, and I do without it in MX when using oomox.

awf
I've been using it on antiX 17 (stretch). Should still work with MX/antiX 19 (but I haven't tested)

Installed it from Test Repo.

Works well.

THanks, Stevo.

CLARIFICATION: works well in MX15/16 as well as MX17/18.

I am currently in the process of moving up to MX-19.3 from MX-18.3 and as part of the process am doing some tweaks to the GUI. Would it be possible to add AWF to the 19.3 repos? From what I've seen, I doubt it will work with MX-21 when that becomes available, but it will be of great help if it still works with 19.3. Thanks.
