Could you publish your code to GitHub? I assume that https://github.com/DMJC/apps-systempreferences is your repository. Also, does it require additional dependencies in order to build?

uPower is what the Power Management plugin is accessing. I haven't got it working yet, need to put more time into it.

RandR extension is being used for the video controls, not xrandr as I am targeting Wayland/Pulseaudio/Network-Manager, e.g the modern Linux desktop.

It does work out of the box with Pipewire :) My Debian System is running Pipewire as the audio backend.

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.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.
Is this using the same APIs that xrandr uses?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:
Which daemon/kernel module/etc are you trying to control with this panel?Power Management is a work in progress, most of the controls do nothing.
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.)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:
