Just commited gtk3 widgetset (alpha status) r41811 ... You can use it by uncommenting USEGTK3ALPHA in
lcl/interfaces/gtk3/gtk3defines.inc.
Most of gtk3 handles are implemented (not all props), but eg. form,buttons,edits,memo,listbox,combobox,spinedit,panel,groupbox ...lot of things is missing.
TODO is in README.txt in gtk3 subdir.

eh :) , I've commented it since in terminal it looks good, but in lazarus messages window not since it does not use monospace font ....

I saw the bomb (gtk3defines.inc) normally in the source editor when I tried to compile for the first time, so it was perfectly monospaced :-). But it still throw me some error (RunError 216) so I didn't compile even an empty form. But it is on Chakra linux - it is KDE4 only distro and they moved all GTK2 & GTK3 libraries to /extra/usr/lib and it is not very convenient for testing now (I have to add the mentioned path to every project). Can you recommend me some good GTK3 distro ? I installed Ubuntu - Gnome Shell (GTK3.6) but the user experience with Gnome Shell is horrible. It is the most user-unfreindly desktop I ever worked with. I tried to enable GTK3.8 repository where should be Gnome Classic mode but I didn't succeed yet. I also tried Cinnamon ~year ago, it was unstable and there was garbage instead of fonts. ?

Minimum requirement is gtk3 3.6.4 atm, and it will be probably changed to 3.8 in a year or so when beta status is planned. Ubuntu 11.04, Fedora 18/19 .... that's what I'm using for testing. I've builded my own gtk3 3.6.4 for my devel machine since it's on FC 14 and that one have only gtk3 2.99 :)

After tweaking Gnome Shell to my liking every other DE (except maybe Enlightenment) feels old and cumbersome to me. Fortunately user experience is a very personal thing. Back to the question. Just keep your Ubuntu and do not use Gnome Shell. Use Enlightenment, KDE, Unity, XFCE or whatever DE you like. GTK3 does not depend on Gnome Shell it is the other way round.
