[Gambas-devel] Stock class

[Daniel Campos]

Hi:

Most of the GTK+ default icons are stored in the same GTK+ library, not in
the file system. When the default theme changes, then the functions in
charge of creating an icon having a key name looks if theme provides an
alternate new icon (that icon is in the file system, if it exists), via the
theme low level functions, returning the new icon or the default icon if it
does not exist.

The real path of an icon (embed in the library or a real file) is managed
internally by the GTK+ theme engines, so you should not look for them
directly. I think you should implement any kind of callback in the
gb.gtkcomponent instead, using  the stock functions to get the icon:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Stock-Items.html

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkIconTheme.html

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Themeable-Stock-Images.html

I have already some code written about that in the gb.gtk component.

About the GNOME extensions, I think you should not care about it: the
gnome-ui libraries are going to dissapear in the next releases of GNOME. All
the graphical part of the GNOME libraries will be managed directly by GTK+,
so any code using current GNOME feautes probably will be deprecated when a
stable version gb.gtk would arrive.

A bit more about gb.gtk: I recommend to start using GTK+-2.10, as it is the
first version with printing support (for the Printer class), using Cairo it
is able to manage also vectorial drawing (for Drawing class and SVG files),
and the standard dialogs have been improved allowing better integration of
the current gb.qt features in that field. It is binary compatible with
GTK+2.x older versions, and compiling and installing the source stack (glib,
atk, pango, gtk+) replaces automagically to old libraries, so you can keep
the rpm or deb system intact to not fall in dependencies problems, even if
these files are deleted from disk :-)
