Struct

GtkSymbolicColor

Description [src]

struct GtkSymbolicColor {
  /* No available fields */
}

GtkSymbolicColor is a boxed type that represents a symbolic color. It is the result of parsing a [color expression][gtkcssprovider-symbolic-colors]. To obtain the color represented by a GtkSymbolicColor, it has to be resolved with gtk_symbolic_color_resolve(), which replaces all symbolic color references by the colors they refer to (in a given context) and evaluates mix, shade and other expressions, resulting in a GdkRGBA value.

It is not normally necessary to deal directly with GtkSymbolicColors, since they are mostly used behind the scenes by GtkStyleContext and GtkCssProvider.

GtkSymbolicColor is deprecated. Symbolic colors are considered an implementation detail of GTK+.

Constructors

gtk_symbolic_color_new_alpha

Creates a symbolic color by modifying the relative alpha value of color. A factor < 1.0 would resolve to a more transparent color, while > 1.0 would resolve to a more opaque color.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_new_literal

Creates a symbolic color pointing to a literal color.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_new_mix

Creates a symbolic color defined as a mix of another two colors. a mix factor of 0 would resolve to color1, while a factor of 1 would resolve to color2.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_new_name

Creates a symbolic color pointing to an unresolved named color. See gtk_style_context_lookup_color() and gtk_style_properties_lookup_color().

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_new_shade

Creates a symbolic color defined as a shade of another color. A factor > 1.0 would resolve to a brighter color, while < 1.0 would resolve to a darker color.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_new_win32

Creates a symbolic color based on the current win32 theme.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.4

Instance methods

gtk_symbolic_color_ref

Increases the reference count of color.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_resolve

If color is resolvable, resolved_color will be filled in with the resolved color, and TRUE will be returned. Generally, if color can’t be resolved, it is due to it being defined on top of a named color that doesn’t exist in props.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0

gtk_symbolic_color_to_string

Converts the given color to a string representation. This is useful both for debugging and for serialization of strings. The format of the string may change between different versions of GTK, but it is guaranteed that the GTK css parser is able to read the string and create the same symbolic color from it.

deprecated: 3.8 

gtk_symbolic_color_unref

Decreases the reference count of color, freeing its memory if the reference count reaches 0.

deprecated: 3.8 since: 3.0
