Consider this a feature request. It would be useful to have a program with which you can point at any running GTK application, and find out what widgets you're seeing and what names have been set. This way one can figure out what to put in the .gtkrc files to edit the appearance of those widgets (or, for GTK beginners, it would be useful simply to learn what widgets an application is using). I paste the following conversation from IRC: hastesaver: [It would be awesome to have a program that lets you point at arbitrary widgets of a running program and ask what they are, what their names are etc., but I don't imagine that's possible :)] jmd: If it's been built with glade, then it's much easier. hastesaver: hmm, I can guess why. And if it hasn't? jmd: hastesaver, But you're right. It's embarrassing that gtk doesn't have such a tool. It's kind of basic in other widget sets that were devised 20 years ago. jmd: Like Athena's editres program. [...] jmd: hastesaver, I don't think it would be too difficult to write such a thing for Gtk+ Editres, http://www.xfree86.org/current/editres.1.html and http://www.rahul.net/kenton/editres.html, is a similar tool for the X toolkit. Is anyone interested in writing such a tool, or describing how it could be done, for GTK+? [Ignore the Subject line; I didn't know what to call it.] Thanks, -- Shreevatsa R _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
