Does the Gtk engine support standard icon themes, like Gtk uses? I feel like that'd make it integrate better with users' desktops.
not that I know of, but would be good to make it work.
Also, the Gtk engine is not perfect, and it targets Gtk2 (which many themes no longer support). I think the better way to achieve this is to actually make GNUstep themes for the popular themes (Adwaita 4, Adwaita 3, Breeze, elementaryOS, Yaru, Nord, etc).
GTk2 is till used by a lot of aficionados, but we should think of gtk3 too. Some projects manage this with a lot of #ifdefs and a build system, or we could have two versions of the theme in the future. Still, it should probably query the themable images as needed on startup and cache them. This might make a theme switch cumbersome, but would still be a leap forward.
