Query: why does the theme require gtk2? #458

Closed coxackie closed 3 years ago

coxackie commented 4 years ago

I am puzzled as to why this theme there requires gtk2. I apologise if I am being naive - I understand that it themes gtk2 applications as well if any, but why require it? gtk4 is almost out there - if there is no particular reason, maybe drop the hard dependency?

As a member of the Adwaita theme family (via Yaru), the Pop theme inherits the same dependencies as our upstream projects, which include dependencies on gtk2-engines-pixbuf and gtk2-engines-murrine. These are required in order to ensure the necessary engines are installed for use with GTK2 applications.
