Link dead? It's also not listed on the blog post list. But I have read it some days before, and what I noticed is that you used the sources from ~/.dub/packages/gtk-d-... I suspect you played with dub + gtkd by that time because I think they wouldn't be there otherwise. So if you use dmd in the example you might want to better use /usr/include/dmd/gtkd3/ (after installing gtkd). I installed gtkd recently like shown here https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/wiki and here https://d-apt.sourceforge.io/ which was basically this (-85 being my dmd version): sudo wget https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt/files/d-apt.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list sudo apt-get update --allow-insecure-repositories && sudo apt-get -y --allow-unauthenticated install --reinstall d-apt-keyring && sudo apt-get update sudo apt install libgtkd3-85 libgtkd3-dev libgtkd3-doc and I compile like this: dmd -de -w -m64 -I/usr/include/dmd/gtkd3/ -L-lgtkd-3 -run label_008_02_markup.d Not sure if you need the -m64 on x64 linux with a dmd64, should be the default then and works without.

Tuesday, March 26, 2019 And today's blog post covers creating a Label with a non-default background colour. You can find it here: http://gtkdcoding.com/2019/03/26/0021-labels-with-background-colors-markup.html

A little copy/paste glitch..
code (on blog and on github) says 'text entry box' where a
FontButton is used:
writeln("The text entry box holds: ", fontButton.getFontName());

I'm still new to D too, but I think it works in this scenario because private in D works on the module/file level. main/TestRigWindow/MyButton are defined in the same file (module) and thus can access each others private members. If you put the button class in its own file/module and import it then you would have to make its constructor public to access it. button_002_04_oop_arg.d(22): Error: class `button_002_04_oop_arg_2.MyButton` member this is not accessible

Also forgot... It's Friday again and time for another gtkDcoding blog post. In today's episode, we slap an image onto a Timmy the Button's face, then do a switch up to keep poor Timmy off balance. You can tune in here: http://gtkdcoding.com/2019/03/22/0020-image-buttons.html

You're the second person to suggest this, so I'll explain my reasoning. I assure you, it's not because I'm lazy or don't know where the Print Screen button is. :) My original plan was to include screenshots. Then I thought back over my own experiences with reading tutorial sites. I have a tendency to look at the screenshot, skim the article, copy-n-paste the code, and go off to do other things. I've also noticed this in others. It's often quite obvious someone hasn't read something carefully just by the questions they ask (present company excluded). And I think images deter people from paying close attention while reading. I can't back this up with statistics or research other than my own, but I have noticed a decline in reading comprehension over the last 30 years as the Internet went from text-only to images and ads filling our screens. So the bottom line is, by leaving out images, I feel I'm doing my bit for literacy. If there's nothing else besides text, it's all the reader has to engage with and I'm hoping this will engender a complete understanding of the subjects I cover... as much as is possible. It's also why I keep the frills down to an absolute minimum. I've tossed thousands of words because they veered too far off topic or were written just to get a laugh or whatever. And there you have it, the philosophy behind gtkDcoding. Thanks for reading, Michelle. And keep the comments coming, please.
