On Ubuntu 20.10, GTK3 applications don't theme correctly. The menus are to
small and selections aren't highlighted.

Hello, Jacob,
I suspect that TDE's GTK3 theme engine is broken because of the radical changes the
GTK developers have introduced, and has no further development at the moment (at least
this is what seems to be happening). Thus, it must be only compatible with some very old
versions of GTK3 (quite a pity because GTK3 is all over the place now as more and more
apps drop GTK2 support).
I hope that this will be fixed some time in the future... For the moment I'd suggest
using some sensible GTK3 theme or a GTK2 alternative.

If gnome could stop rewriting GTK for longer than 2 years, that'd be great.

You can use gnome-tweaks to adjust the font sizes. (The one I have installed is GNOME
Tweaks 3.34.0, presumably GTK3).

GTK4.2 is/was due this month, so you can probably count on GTK3 development to
have stopped. :P

So I guess now we who use OpenSuSE just have to wait (who knows how long?) until GTK4
shows up in their repositories. :-)

There is no OpenSuSE for us or anyone else to use. We do have openSUSE, as your
.sig indicates.
Tumbleweed does have GTK4 devel and tools packaged. :(

hahaha, I came to this conclusion in 2001 and switched to KDE. It is now
exactly 20y and the Gnomes did not change their attitude. They even got
bolder.

I didn't wait that long to switch, but mainly because the default Gnome theme was
grotesque. I didn't just switch DE. I switched from RedHat to Mandrake, and used
it barely more than the pittance I used Redhat. I got up to reasonable speed when
I found SuSE @8.0.
