We don't currently build or support ARM based versions of Cinnamon. If your OS is including these, you should probably take the problem to them. Since the issue is only affecting Gtk4 app, my first guess is that it's some sort of gtk4/graphics driver issue but I really don't know.

Cinnamon should support all architectures. That said, there's nothing specific to GTK4 and/or libAdwaita in Cinnamon..

To make sure, I'd suggest installing another DE on this computer to see if the problem persists.

GTK4 uses hardware acceleration in a very different way than GTK3. It's known to create issues in virtual machines so I imagine it can also create issues on specific graphic chipsets.

The theme used in libAdwaita also dims when the window isn't focused. It's possible this is by design and it just doesn't look nice on your screen.

After testing this with other Xorg DEs (Xfce, MATE for instance) please reopen the issue if you find that it is specific to Cinnamon.
