Ah, yes, the GTK interface. I remember having trouble with it on my Ubuntu Studio install (18.04). Ubuntu Studio had inherited *buntu's infamous "floating sidebars", which made Snd's controls mostly unusable. It also had a color scheme that made most things in the GUI difficult to read. Or, well, that was the .deb package from the Ubuntu repos.
So I remember at some point I decided to compile my own version of Snd, if anything, just to be able to keep up with all the updates I was reading about on this list. Compiling Snd is easy, and fun. Then, still frustrated with the GTK interface, I tried compiling Snd with a Motif interface. Well, guess what, I finally got a lean-and-mean, effective GUI. Never been a fan of Motif, but on Snd, it seems to be the sensible option. So, no, I for one won't be missing the GTK interface. Best, K.
