Installed and fired up a new application tonight, its UI is a total shitshow of overlapping text, buttons, input fields and labels. Nothing is un impacted. I assumed it was just built against the wrong library version since the project distributes a single binary for all Linux systems 🚩via a tar.gz 🚩. Pulled the source (had to install svn to do it🚩) and tried to build it. But needed to install the dev package it needs to build against. 🚩 It was GTK2. 😳🤯🤬🚩🚩🚩

Grepping the source does find a couple GTK3 references... in an "unfinished example" of what a future port to the "GIMP Tool Kit version 3" might look like. Yeah, I don't care if you've updated your software for the new 2025 rules... that's terminally bad technical debt management.
