Sure, and I can also stop using GTK and use X to draw pixel by pixel my interface. What I mean is that: is the idea to not have images at all in GTK? That sounds a big go backward to me, no? For example, how can I be sure that all the images will be aligned, same width, etc with all menuitems?

And It doesn't seem possible to draw those menus with Glade, or did I miss something? I don't want to write them in code. >> I tried that (from python bindings): >> item = Gtk.MenuItem.new_with_mnemonic(_("_Save")) >> >> And I see no image. > > icons in menus are hidden by default, by the gtk-menu-images > GtkSettings property. you can set the property to TRUE for your > application using: > > g_object_set (gtk_settings_get_default (), "gtk-menu-images", TRUE, NULL); > > but gtk-menu-images is a deprecated tweak that will not be honoured by > newly written widgets. > > the proper way to ensure that you control the visibility of images in > menus and buttons is to pack those images inside the widgets yourself. If user don't want to see images, I have no problem with that, I don't want my app to override this decision. But I want that ppl who want to see images can see them. Do I have to handle that myself? Check myself what's the value of gtk-menu-images property and add the image or not myself? And I just checked, gtk-menu-images is true when I run my application. But I still don't see the icon, nor in the close button of the AboutDialog for example. And it's the same thing with evince for example. My Desktop environment is XFCE if that matters. -- Yann _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
