GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.
Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development.
GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.10.x. Other dependencies include:
ATK, Glib, Pango, Cairo and their dependencies
Latest Version: 2.10
* The hexadecimal Unicode input feature has been reworked. It no longer blocks the use of the sixteen Ctrl-Shift- key sequences. Now
it only uses Ctrl-Shift-u.
* A memory leak in GtkStyle handling has been fixed. This may expose bugs in third-party widgets which forget to call gtk_style_attach() in their realize functions.
* Range widgets like GtkScrollbar now render their arrows insensitive when the slider is at the end. Applications which react to arrow clicks even if the slider is at the end may want to use the new
gtk_range_set_[upper/lower]_stepper_sensitivity() functions to prevent the arrows from being rendered insensitive.
* GtkObject now uses the "floating reference" support in GObject. GTK_OBJECT_IS_FLOATING() will still work, but direct checking of the GTK_FLOATING flag will no longer detect the floating reference. Details about floating references can be found in the docs.
* Accelerators like (_F) are now stripped from labels when they are displayed in toolbars. If this is not wanted, the feature can be suppressed by inserting a Unicode control character, e.g ZWNJ.
* The pixbuf theme engine can now customize expanders (in GtkTreeView and GtkExpander) and resize grips, using the new EXPANDER and RESIZE_GRIP function values.
* Dialogs created by gtk_about_dialog_new() no longer hide automatically when the user clicks close. It is the applications responsibility to hide or destroy the dialog.
* Several new signals have been added to GtkNotebook. Care has been taken to choose signal names which do not collide with signals added by well-known derived classes. The names which can no longer be used for signals in objects derived from GtkNotebook are page-reordered, page-removed and page-added.
* Due to the interface changes in the file chooser backend interface, the GTK+ ABI version has been bumped to 2.10.0. Third-party filesystem backends have to be ported to the new interface, other modules, such as theme engines, input method modules or pixbuf loaders have to be rebuilt so that they are installed in the right place for GTK+ to find them. |
