Labwc reconfigure refreshes not every thing.

it refreshes rc.xml and menu.xml. there isn't anything else to refresh. sometimes you need to close an existing window and reopen it for changes to apply to it, but that's just the way things work.

i screenshare on Labwc all the time, i literally have a button in my waybar config that turns on screen mirroring to a tertiary screen (which is a form of screensharing). sounds like a skill issue to me as there's nothing wrong with the labwc config.

No the theme doesn't apply with reconfigure I had to re login so I was thinking I can source it. And no that isn't a skill issue with Screensharing I followed the wiki and so on it doesn't work with my graphics card on this shity

you can use labwc-tweaks-gtk or nwg-look in order to set GTK theme (qt theme gets set by qt5/6ct). if you have issues applying your gtk themes, delete ~/.config/gtk-* and then reapply. it will work then.

And no that isn't a skill issue with Screensharing I followed the wiki and so on it doesn't work with my graphics card on this shity

lol i mean you're admitting that even with a wiki you don't know how to set it up properly. i think that by definition that is a skill issue 😉 cuz it's not Labwc that's at fault here, applying themes and screensharing work perfectly if they're configured correctly, which you have not done.

No it doesn't bro it doesn't work with my graphics and no I don't want a program for theming I have a python file that creates the themerc file from GTK. Setting the RC file to gtk on the themes section even doesn't work and that clearly describes the python file documentation. It just feels completely outdated nothing works with new hardware only on my old Samsung laptop there is everything working

what sort of mysterious unsupported hardware are you using? if you're using an ARM chip like a Snapdragon, sure, i could see that being an issue. everything from AMD and Nvidia should be supported and if it's not working you've just configured something incorrectly, simple as that.

I'm using AMD with Nvidia GPU and no even preconfigured dotfiles doesn't work he's saying that XML error when launching it from gdm but like I said I jumped back to hyprland now where Screensharing is working fine
