Hi; the preferred way to make a menu bar in GTK+ 3.x is to use GMenu and GAction: * https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu * https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction There are various, incremental examples in the C API reference: * https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch01s04.html If you want to build your menu bar by hand — which has not been recommended since the introduction of GtkBuilder in 2.x — you will have to build everything by hand, including icons and accelerator labels.

Icons are not deprecated. Stock items are deprecated, and GtkImageMenuItem is deprecated, but you can still add icons to your menu items, and GMenu allows you to specify an icon in the XML description. You're strongly encouraged to use icons for objects (links, files, file types, bookmarks) and *not* to use icons for actions — it's just overloading the user with small, hard to read, and hard to differentiate pictograms, when the text and position in the menu are more recognisable. > But have I really to use gtk_accel_map_add_entry() to manually set > keyboard accelerators for menu items?

I assume you're referring to mnemonics (the underlined glyph in the menu label); accelerators are the modifier + key combination, like Ctrl + S. Neither has been deprecated, and you can define your own in both cases. What is deprecated is the stock "_Save" label, because it does not (and cannot, for obvious reasons) account for collisions of mnemonics, in multiple languages. Application developers are strongly encouraged in choosing their own mnemonics, and translators will be able to choose the right alternative depending on the application. The tool kit (and the tool kit translators) cannot do this in any sensible way.
