Modern GUI redesign / refresh for Proton VPN Linux app
First of all, thank you for the official Linux GUI app and for the constant updates (especially recent CLI improvements and new features being added to GTK app).
I’m a happy Proton user using your Linux app daily on Artix. The app is stable and the core functionality works great, but visually and UX-wise it still feels quite outdated compared to the beautiful, modern interfaces you have on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
Many Linux users (including me) would really appreciate a proper GUI refresh / redesign to bring the Linux client closer in look & feel to the other platforms:
Cleaner, more modern card-based layout
Better dark mode support & theme consistency with system (GTK4/libadwaita style would be perfect)
Smoother animations and micro-interactions
More compact/quick-connect panel (like on mobile)
Updated server list with better search, favorites pinning, recent locations, etc.
Overall visual parity so Linux doesn’t feel like the “poor cousin” anymore :)
From what I’ve read (e.g. David Peterson’s post about GUI refresh work already in progress) it seems this is already on your radar - that’s awesome! Just wanted to add one more +1 from the community and say that many people are really looking forward to this update.
Thanks for all the hard work and for caring about Linux users ❤️
