I'm not yet convinced that the positions are going away. Unfortunately, I find it more likely that it's going to be a bad few years and then surge in demand to fix things that have been done in those years.
Maybe I've just had bad luck but over last 2 decades I've only worked in places where 80% (at least - probably closer to 95%) coworkers (in development related areas) had negative productivity - making software more complex, brittle and abstract than necessary. With AI assistants the same people can be more "productive" and gatekeeping is mostly a lost cause.
I hope to find a decent alternative in those few years and never go back to software :)
Screenshots look like OS X 1.0 and nothing like Rhapsody. I've found the OS X aesthetics unpleasant compared to how Rhapsody looked like so it was the final straw pushing me to Windows :)
The GTK theme engine from GNUstep can also be used to set a "Rhapsody" theme. It just allows using GTK themes. Here is an example of what that looks like https://github.com/pkgdemon/screenshots/blob/main/yellowbox-... I'd also like to make a native theme for that layout at some point.
I currently have the WindowManager.app I am fixing up that draws native decorations with GSTheme on to X11 windows. The screenshot in the gershwin desktop repo shows the result with chromium. I am also working on a Ladybird native GNUstep port where I need to fix the toolbar, rendering issues, and get the codebase in shape for a proper PR. Then I want to start working on fixing up an existing SwiftUI bridge implementation. This would also be a welcome contribution if someone can offer to contribute before I can eventually get to it. If that doesn't happen I would like to create a a native theme for this at some point.
Should be doable to put a Rhapsody theme on it... GNUstep is very flexible in this regard. Thanks to Method Swizzling, themes can change things pretty substantially.
