I figured I'd show some of what I've been making, pictures are always more interesting:

New icons in System Preferences (Audio and Power need some work haha).

The sound control panel is 100% working on the output/input tabs. The volume slider and mute button work. This sets volume levels on pulseaudio.

    Nice! Do you think you could get it working with PipeWire? A lot of
    Linux systems are switching to it and from what I've heard it's a
    lot easier to work with than PulseAudio. But PipeWire also has a
    PulseAudio compatibility layer so it's possible your stuff might
    work out-of-the-box.

Video controls are broken and I'm not sure when/if I can fix it, the first version was a dropdown menu of resolutions which never worked:

    Is this using the same APIs that xrandr uses?

Power Management is a work in progress, most of the controls do nothing.

    Which daemon/kernel module/etc are you trying to control with this
    panel?

I was able to get Rik.theme to compile and run, hence when some of the images are more white than grey. I am forking Rik.theme and working on Milk.theme which I want to base on OSX's Milk theme. This is what I'd like it to look like:

    It looks really nice! I'd love to see us have a really good and
    consistent theme which isn't NeXT-style. I think having a unique
    theme like this, plus a few popular Linux themes like Adwaita,
    Breeze, and Yaru, would be pretty good for us and help people be
    more comfortable with using GNUstep apps on their desktops. (I don't
    think the Gtk2 GSTheme is doing well with this, since a lot of theme
    developers have stopped maintaining their Gtk2 themes, a lot of
    themes no longer come with Gtk2 versions, and the Gtk2 GSTheme has
    some weird glitches, at least on Breeze.)
