A big hello to all you fellow artists out there. If you use Inkscape, you probably know that it is frustratingly slow to make new releases, and as a result, it's lagging behind in the switch to GTK+ 3... or is it?

Hax?

You may not even notice the difference, but if you know what to look for, you should notice that this picture of Inkscape using Adwaita dark. The real thing, not a GTK+ 2 lookalike.

So where can you get this greatness? Well, before you leap for joy, I must warn you. This is a development version, and as such, there are expected bugs and niggles. They shouldn't be too common (from my limited experience).

• First add: ppa:inkscape.dev/trunk
• Refresh your sources and install: inkscape-trunk-gtk3

This will replace your existing Inkscape and will break sozi (just in case you had it installed). So far I have not had any serious issues.

NB: this PPA also supports Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
