Shiny new widgets \o/

[bugaevc]

Hi,

this is an attempt to port Tuba to the new libadwaita widgetry (click, click). I'm not an expert in GTK, nor in Tuba's codebase, so I most likely messed something up — please let me know!

This PR only touches the main window (and not even all of its views?), not the compose dialog.

Thank you so much for this PR!

I haven't finished reviewing everything yet but I'll start with some comments (there's no rush or expectations!)

What's the status here? Would be sweet to have this in the next release, with GNOME 45 coming out next month :)

This is good to go from my side, except I'd probably have to rebase, and use the 45 runtime instead of master. @GeopJr probably needs to do another round of review and testing.

This is not stale but I have postponed it until the cleanup PR (#424) is done!

Hi, while using this branch I noticed some deprecation warnings and that the preferences dialog could use other new libadwaita widgets. I've made the changes in this fork and after testing it, it seems that everything works fine although it never hurts to test it more, especially the one that replaces AdwLeaflet in the new account dialog. Feel free to cherry-pick the commits or I can open a PR against this branch if you want 😄

Main is now somewhat ready, could you rebase @bugaevc?

There have been many changes in that cleanup PR, most importantly for this PR however: All ListBoxes became ListViews. When in a scrolledwindow they have to be in the following structure: GtkScrolledWindow -> AdwClampScrollable -> ListView. No boxes or other children as it will cause issues with the ListView's size.

That might need some changes in anything that inherits from the Base widget

(I've kind-of rushed the cleanup PR a bit since I didn't want to make rebasing even more difficult so there might be bugs!)

If you are busy, let me know and I'll rebase it instead!

Yay! Rebased (that took some work) & added @oscfdezdz's changes. Since column_view is gone, I had to improvise again, and this time placed the spinner into the overlay. It still seems to work fine though 🙂

Please review & test!

Just built the branch and gave it a spin, a few things I noticed (not all necessarily coming from this MR, haven't tested the app in a while):

• The body text in the profile descriptions is bold

• The focus border on posts should have the same shape and consistent padding all around (currently there's extra vertical padding):

• The focus border on boost profile pictures should be circular

• I'd drop the padding between cards on narrow views, and just have simple divider lines between posts:

• Could also be done as a followup, but I'd merge this view switcher into the sidebar at large sizes

Thanks and sorry about that 🙇

Everything looks good, I'll go ahead and merge it! Thank you so much for making this PR!

Nice catch! I'll get on it on a different PR!

This PR is only the start of #228, as long as they are in the mockup (they are), we'll get there!
