    Is the DE still reliant on GTK? Will there be thumbnails in the filepicker?

      The DE is not reliant on Gtk, it uses Iced, which is fully written in Rust. And the Gtk file picker also has thumbnails now.

        Have the cosmic devs said if their file picker portal will support thumbnails?

          They haven’t created the file chooser portals yet. But I saw a comment from mmstick a few months ago on reddit that he said it will support it. I mean it’s a simple basic- feature, gnome could’ve had it if they cared.

            Gnome has it now! It only took 20 years which makes it so much better to see it in action. Thanks to the person who made that contribution!

      We have been developing our own toolkit, libcosmic, which is being used for everything. From the lock screen, compositor, applets for the desktop, and the applications themselves. There is an examples directory for third party developers to learn hope to build their own applets and applications with.
