Inkscape Redesign with GTK4

Proposal:

I present a redesign of the Inkscape interface using GTK4. The goal is to modernize the user experience, prioritizing minimalism and usability.

Details of the Redesign:

• Minimalism: The interface has been simplified, removing redundant elements and optimizing the layout for clarity and organization.
• Usability: The layout of elements and icons has been carefully planned to facilitate access to Inkscape's tools and features.
• Consistency: The design follows the HIG, ensuring a consistent visual experience with other modern applications of Gnome.
• Familiarity: The position of the tools has been maintained to facilitate the adaptation of experienced users.

Availability:

I am willing to collaborate with the Inkscape team to finalize the redesign.

Benefits of the Redesign:

• More modern and intuitive interface
• Improved user experience
• Greater visual consistency with other applications

Request:

I would like to know the community's opinion on the redesign. I believe that this change will bring benefits to Inkscape and its users.

Additional Comments:

• The "Mesh Tool" and some "Align and Distribute" tools do not have new Adwaita icons developed, and I also did not take the time to create an alternative myself, but they can be implemented in the future.
• The design is still under development and can be adjusted according to community feedback.

Feedback:

Please share your thoughts on the redesign in the comments below. I am open to feedback and suggestions to improve the design.

Thank you!

Edit: I removed all references to LibAdwaita from the text, as I had misunderstood what LibAdwaita was. The idea was to use the new style only, not to force the use of the lib: LibAdwaita.
