Partial The feature can be drafted with AI help, but it means patching a large C codebase, and verifying it safely requires real knowledge of GTK internals.
What it would actually take: The patch needs to hook into GTK4's CSS provider and style-update pipeline to detect file changes and re-style widgets without restarts. A developer needs C and GObject expertise and familiarity with GTK's rendering and invalidation logic. Testing across themes and widgets is needed to avoid regressions.
