Applying system scale on GTK 2
I have tried to run my GTK 2 application on a high DPI monitor and this leads to some layout issues because values that are passed to gtk_widget_set_size_request() are in pixels. I can solve these problems by reading the "Xft.dpi" Xresource and multiplying all my pixel values by it. Still, I'm wondering whether GTK 2 has an inhouse solution for this particular problem because my solution seems rather hackish. Any ideas? -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Easier said than done. The application in question is a rather large one which can also be extended via plugins. Plugins expect the locale to be "C". I don't see how to workaround that without breaking plugins. Also, what about functions like sscanf()? I don't see any g_ascii_sscanf() replacement. On a German locale sscanf() will expect a comma instead of a point as a decimal separator. IMHO it would have been a much cleaner solution if glib locales were completely separated from C's standard locales which many people consider seriously broken. Heck, even Wikipedia says "Most large-scale software forces the locale to "C" (or another fixed value) to work around these problems." ;-) -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahnmailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Using g_utf8_collate() with gtk_disable_setlocale()
Is there any way to make g_utf8_collate() use the system's locale when using gtk_disable_setlocale()? In my application I need to use gtk_disable_setlocale() because having GTK call setlocale() has several implications which I'd like to avoid (e.g. strtod() suddenly expecting a comma instead of a point as a decimal separator). So I'd like to ask if there is any other way to tell glib to use the system's locale when sorting using g_utf8_collate() so that I can keep my call to gtk_disable_setlocale() and still use g_utf8_collate to sort using the system's locale?

GtkFrame looks different each time the program is started
This is really confusing the heck out of me. Please take a look at the attached screenshot. Sometimes, the GtkFrames in my program look like on the left side, and sometimes they look like on the right side - or even a mix of the two! The program is exactly the same. Just running the same program multiple times yields very different looks of the GtkFrames in the program! How can that be? It seems that there are two different designs of GtkFrame: 1) The first one has its label centered at the top of the frame and smoothly dissolves towards the bottom so that the frame doesn't completely enclose the GtkFrame's contents. 2) The second design has its label left-aligned at the top of the frame and draws a border around the complete GtkFrame. The problem is now that GTK+ seems to choose one of the two designs entirely at random. I don't see any pattern in which design I'm going to get. It appears to happen completely at random which is really confusing me. Can somebody shed a light onto this mystery? What is going on here? Is there a way to force GTK+ to use a certain design? I'm using GTK+ 2.24.10 with the Adwaita theme on Linux Mint. On Ubuntu I don't see this behaviour. On Ubuntu all GtkFrames look exactly the same and they never change. But on Linux Mint with Adwaita the apparently random change of GtkFrame designs is confusing the heck out of me... Somebody please shed some light onto this!

Computing border size of GtkFrame
I need to compute the border sizes of a GtkFrame before the window containing
that GtkFrame has been realized. Precisely, I need the distances between the
GtkFrame container widget and its child. AFAICS, this isn't possible to get
before the GtkFrame has been realized. So I thought that I could use a
workaround
that creates a top-level window, adds a GtkFrame with a GtkButton and computes
the size and destroys everything again. Here is the code:
void GTKFrameGetBorders(int *borderTop, int *borderOther)
{
GtkWidget *wnd = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
GtkWidget* labelwidget = gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic("Foo");
gtk_widget_show(labelwidget);
GtkWidget* framewidget = gtk_frame_new(NULL);
gtk_frame_set_label_widget(GTK_FRAME(framewidget), labelwidget);
GtkWidget *btn = gtk_button_new();
gtk_widget_show(btn);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(framewidget), btn);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(wnd), framewidget);
gtk_widget_show(framewidget);
// !!! THIS CALL IS NECESSARY TO GET CORRECT VALUES !!!
gtk_widget_realize(labelwidget);
GtkAllocation alloc, child_alloc;
gtk_widget_get_allocation(framewidget, );
GTK_FRAME_GET_CLASS(framewidget)->compute_child_allocation(GTK_FRAME(framewidget),
_alloc);
*borderTop = child_alloc.y - alloc.y;
*borderOther = child_alloc.x - alloc.x;
gtk_widget_destroy(wnd);
}
This seems to do the job and returns the correct values but of course it's a
really hackish solution. So I've got two questions:
1) Is there a better/cleaner solution? :)
2) Is it allowed to call gtk_widget_realize() on the "labelwidget" as done
above? The
docs say that gtk_widget_realize() is propagated upwards so does this mean that
gtk_widget_realize() will end up being called on the top-level window which
means
that the top-level window will be shown very briefly? That's of course something
I'd like to avoid...
I'm targetting GTK+ 2.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Well, actually I was trying to fix it in wxWidgets but the problem is probably not in wxWidgets but in the theme/engine. First, Emmanuele Bassi was right. This isn't the "Adwaita" theme although that's what gsettings returned but the information from gsettings is probably not reliable since I'm on KDE. So I opened the KDE prefs for app appearance instead and saw that the GTK+ theme is actually set to oxygen-gtk which seems to be a theme/engine imitating the Qt look. Since I only ever get two different looks for GtkFrame with that oxygen-gtk theme I suppose that the bug is in oxygen-gtk, not in gtk or wxWidgets. With all other themes I tried I always get a consistent look of GtkFrame so I suppose it's a bug in oxygen-gtk. Does this sound plausible to you GTK+ wizards? I don't know very much about GTK+ but that's the only plausible explanation I can come up with: oxygen-gtk probably tries to be very clever and comes up with different looks for GtkFrame depending on the context but then somehow gets things messed up so that apps always look different. From my observations, the problem is especially related to tabbed pages. When the GtkFrames are on a tab that is visible on program start, I usually get the first look whereas GtkFrames on tab pages that are invisible on program start I usually get the second look.... it really looks like an issue with oxygen-gtk to me.

Creating an app with optional GTK support
Hi, I'm currently developing an X11 app and would like to use GTK only for the file chooser dialog. The rest is done entirely in X11. However, the GTK support shall be optional. If GTK is there, then my app will use the GTK file chooser. If GTK is not there, I'll simply ask for a file name using a fgets() on stdin :-) Now to my question: Because I want my app to run even if GTK is not present, I can't link against the GTK libs. Instead, I have to use dlopen() and manually read the function pointers of the functions I need using dlsym(). This all works fine so far, except one thing: There are name discrepancies across the different distros. For example, comparing openSUSE and Ubuntu: openSUSE .so names: 1) libgtk-x11-2.0.so 2) libglib-2.0.so 3) libgobject-2.0.so Ubuntu .so names: 1) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 2) libglibmm-2.4.so.1 !!! 3) libgobject-2.0.so.0 Especially striking is that Ubuntu doesn't have a libglib-XXX.so at all, but only a libglibmm-XXX.so! So what would be the best strategy to make my app work even with those diverging *.so names? I guess the only way would be to manually scan the libs in /usr/lib/ and compare against the patterns: libgtk-x11-*.so.* libglib-*.so.* libglibmm-*.so.* libgobject-*.so.* And then choose an appropriate .so for dlopen().

Re: Creating an app with optional GTK support
Hi. As for optional GTK+ support, wouldn't be better to check for GTK+ at configure phase and compile/link your application accordingly? Not possible because my app is currently not open source. Which probably means that you'll be distributing binaries. So you can compile two versions of your app: one that links against GTK+ and the one that doesn't. Your clients can then decide which one to use. Not possible either because my app also has optional support Xrender, Xfixes, Xcursor, and ALSA. The only lib I'm linking against is -lX11. The rest is entirely optional. Now if I'd start building different binaries for each config, there would be a lot of different combinations. It's really easier to do this manually using a single binary and some calls to dlopen(). However, I think I still need to scan /usr/lib and /lib and analyze what we have because on this Ubuntu live CD here, there are no symlinks like libglib-2.0.so and libgtk-x11-2.0.so. Instead, they all have a .0 version attached. So the following call will fail on my Ubuntu live CD: dlopen(libglib-2.0.so) dlopen(libgtk-x11-2.0.so) This doesn't work. I need to append a .0 first. But of course I can't hardcode the .0 either because of new versions that could appear. So I still need to scan /usr/lib and /lib and do some pattern matching and then make an educated guess what .so I should open :) Greets, Andreas ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

GTK on Linux and UTF-8 text
Hi, I previously worked with GTK only on Windows and the Windows builds of GTK always used UTF-8 for everything.

When I pass UTF-8 text to functions like gtk_dialog_add_button(), then the specified strings seem to be treated as ISO-8859-1, i.e. non ASCII characters appear as multiple characters instead of being resolved to the single character they represent according to UTF-8 decoding tables.
