Possible improvement in development approach [LibAdwaita/GTK4] #138

Hi @vinceliuice !

Congratulations on the excellent themes you have created and maintained. Mainly with the advent of libadwaita and massive adoption by GTK4. Serious! Congratulations indeed!

In the quest to try to make the appearance of applications as homogeneous as possible, I came across this note from the adw-gtk4 theme that explains how they provide gtk4 styles extracting directly from libadwaita: Look: https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3/blob/main/gtk4.md

Wouldn't that be an interesting approach? This would not help with switching between light/dark mode in libadwaita/gtk apps.

Today when installing your themes using the --libadwaita option I see that the gnome/libadwaita apps are always clear. Wouldn't the adw-gtk3 approach help with this? Currently I have been using a script that updates the symbolic links to the files within gtk-4.0. Maybe there is a way to improve this.

Now you can switch light/dark mode follow the system, I rebuild colloid gtk-4.0 theme based libadwaita theme
