## What it is
adw-gtk3 is an unofficial GTK3 port of the libadwaita theme, bringing GNOME 40+ style visuals to legacy GTK3 applications. It ships as a theme package installable via tarball, distro repositories, Flatpak, or Snap.

## Use cases
- make GTK3 apps look like libadwaita on GNOME
- unify the look of legacy apps with GNOME 42+ styling
- install a dark GTK3 theme matching Adwaita
- theme Flatpak and Snap GTK3 applications
- customize the Adwaita look for GTK3

## When to choose
- you run GNOME on Linux and want GTK3 apps to match libadwaita styling
- you need light and dark Adwaita-like themes for legacy applications
- you want a well-maintained theme available in Fedora, Arch, Flatpak, and Snap

## When to avoid
- you only use GTK4/libadwaita apps, which are already styled natively
- you need a fully pixel-perfect replica of libadwaita, since GTK3 has limitations
- you are not on Linux or do not use GTK applications
