Look into the Agora Desktop system developer, they're currently reworking the GNUstep GUI system to support vector based themes. The work is very impressive attached are some screenshots from earlier this year.
Thank you for showing this as I wasn't able to find my images of Agora.
Just one slight correction: GNUstep has always supported vector-based graphics in general. Theming support was added several years ago. One thing that should be pointed out is that GNUstep uses a PostScript-like model for its drawing (like macOS and its predecessor OPENSTEP/NeXTSTEP), so it is and ALWAYS has been vector-based from the beginning. :)
Agora is INDEED beautiful. It's a testament to how flexible GNUstep is.

The same version I compiled and used under Ubuntu22 on arm64 and on Debian worked just fine. (if anyone has a hint on how to convince ./configure to just use my libiconv I pass, let me know. --with-libiconv-library=/usr/local/lib/libiconv.a was not enough).
I had a look at the documentation/comments in configure.ac
They suggest you may need to use --with-libiconv-include= as well as --with-libiconv-library= if you have multiple versions of iconv with conflicting headers
If that fails, I guess you'd need to look at the config log to work out why.
