Description

GtkThemingEngine was the object used for rendering themed content in GTK+ widgets. It used to allow overriding GTK+'s default implementation of rendering functions by allowing engines to be loaded as modules.

GtkThemingEngine has been deprecated in GTK+ 3.14 and will be ignored for rendering. The advancements in CSS theming are good enough to allow themers to achieve their goals without the need to modify source code.

state

a widget state

progress

return location for the transition progress.

gtk_theming_engine_register_property ()

void
gtk_theming_engine_register_property (const gchar *name_space,
                                      GtkStylePropertyParser parse_func,
                                      GParamSpec *pspec);

gtk_theming_engine_register_property has been deprecated since version 3.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Code should use the default properties provided by CSS.

Registers a property so it can be used in the CSS file format, on the CSS file the property will look like "-${name_space }-${property_name}". being ${property_name} the given to pspec . name_space will usually be the theme engine name.

For any type a parse_func may be provided, being this function used for turning any property value (between “:” and “;”) in CSS to the GValue needed. For basic types there is already builtin parsing support, so NULL may be provided for these cases.

Engines must ensure property registration happens exactly once, usually GTK+ deals with theming engines as singletons, so this should be guaranteed to happen once, but bear this in mind when creating GtkThemeEngines yourself.

In order to make use of the custom registered properties in the CSS file, make sure the engine is loaded first by specifying the engine property, either in a previous rule or within the same one.

[skip]

Parameters

name_space

namespace for the property name

parse_func

parsing function to use, or NULL.

[nullable]

pspec

the GParamSpec for the new property
