Comment (by renodr):
Here are my current notes for gtk4. I normally take these kind of notes
for package additions. I did notice a few inaccuracies in the gtk3 page
that I'll fix too. My next commit will have all of the things from this
ticket in it.
One thing that is interesting to me is that there is now a multimedia
subsystem in GTK4, similar to QtMultimedia, that lets application
developers add audio/video/picture support into their programs easier. You
need gst-plugins-bad and ffmpeg for that.
After this next build of gtk4 (I need -Dcolord=enabled for my printer),
I'm going to swap into XFCE and check on the demo applications again,
rebuild vte/gjs/webkitgtk to make sure no new errors occur, and then
continue onto gtksourceview5.

DESCRIPTION: The GTK 4 package contains libraries used for creating
graphical user interfaces for applications.
INSTALLATION COMMANDS:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr -Dbroadway_backend=true ..
ninja
ninja test
ninja install
TEST SUITE:
- Make a note about the tests needing to be run in a Wayland
session, otherwise significant failures will occur.
Ok: 690
Expected Fail: 1
Fail: 21
Unexpected Pass: 0
Skipped: 1
Timeout: 0
Most of the tests that fail are related to gtk:reftest and
gtk:gsk, similar to gtk3.
COMMAND EXPLANATIONS:
-Dbroadway_backend=true: This switch enables the HTML5 GDK
backend.
-Dcloudproviders=enabled: Use this switch if you have [INSERT LINK
TO LIBCLOUDPROVIDERS HERE] installed and wish to enable support for cloud
providers in the File window.
-Dsysprof=enabled: Use this switch if you have [insert xref to
sysprof here] installed and wish to enable tracing support for GTK4
applications.
-Dtracker=enabled: Use this switch if you have [insert xref to
tracker3 here] installed and wish to use search functionality when running
a file chooser.
-Dcolord=enabled: Use this switch if you have [insert xref to
colord here] installed and wish to use colord with the CUPS printing
backend.
-Dsassc=enabled: Use this switch if you have [insert xref to sassc
here] installed and wish to rebuild the themes.
-Dgtk_doc=true: Use this switch if you have [insert xref to
gtk_doc here] installed and wish to generate the API reference
documentation.
SHORT DESCRIPTIONS:
gtk4-broadwayd: provides support for displaying GTK 4
applications in a web browser, using HTML5 and web sockets
gtk4-builder-tool: performs various operations on GtkBuilder .ui
files
gtk4-demo: is a simple program that demonstrates some of the tasks
that can be done with GTK 4
gtk4-demo-application: is a simple GTK 4 application which is
useful for testing
gtk4-encode-symbolic-svg: converts symbolic SVG icons into special
PNG files. GTK4 can load and recolor these PNGs, just like original SVGs,
but loading them is much faster
gtk4-icon-browser: is a utility to explore the icons in the
current icon theme. It shows icons in various sizes, their symbolic
variants when avaialble, as well as a description of the icon and its
context
gtk4-launch: launches an application using the given name. The
name should match the application desktop file name, as residing in
/usr/share/applications, with or without the '.desktop' suffix
gtk4-print-editor: is a simple program to demonstrate printing
using GTK4 applications
gtk4-query-settings: provides a complete listing of all settings
related to GTK4
gtk4-update-icon-cache: is an icon theme caching utility that
creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes
gtk4-widget-factory: is a program to view GTK4 themes and widgets
libgtk-4.so: contains functions that provide an API to implement
graphical user interfaces
LOCATION: X Libraries
XREF ID MARKER: gtk4
NOTES:
- Copy the Configuration Information from gtk+3, but adapt it to gtk4.
- Leave the gtk.css stuff out.
- Change the URL for the settings to
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/GtkSettings.html.
- Change /etc/gtk-3[...] to /usr/share/gtk-4.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-icon-theme-name = oxygen
gtk-font-name = DejaVu Sans 12
gtk-cursor-theme-size = 18
*** REMOVE *** gtk-toolbar-style = GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-xft-antialias = 1
gtk-xft-hinting = 1
gtk-xft-hintstyle = hintslight
gtk-xft-rgba = rgb
gtk-cursor-theme-name = Adwaita
Change external deps to internal on: vte, gjs, webkitgtk
