Title: GTK CSS Properties
|
|
Slug: css-properties
|
|
|
|
GTK supports CSS properties and shorthands as far as they can be applied
|
|
in the context of widgets, and adds its own properties only when needed.
|
|
All GTK-specific properties have a -gtk prefix.
|
|
|
|
## Basic types
|
|
|
|
All properties support the following keywords: inherit, initial, unset,
|
|
with the same meaning as defined in the
|
|
[CSS Cascading and Inheritance](https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#defaulting-keywords)
|
|
spec.
|
|
|
|
The following units are supported for basic datatypes:
|
|
|
|
Length
|
|
: px, pt, em, ex, rem, pc, in, cm, mm, calc()
|
|
|
|
Percentage
|
|
: %, calc()
|
|
|
|
Angle
|
|
: deg, grad, turn, calc()
|
|
|
|
Time
|
|
: s, ms, calc()
|
|
|
|
Length values with the em or ex units are resolved using the font
|
|
size value, unless they occur in setting the font-size itself, in
|
|
which case they are resolved using the inherited font size value.
|
|
|
|
The rem unit is resolved using the initial font size value, which is
|
|
not quite the same as the CSS definition of rem.
|
|
|
|
The calc() notation adds considerable expressive power. There are limits
|
|
on what types can be combined in such an expression (e.g. it does not make
|
|
sense to add a number and a time). For the full details, see the
|
|
[CSS3 Values and Units](https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#calc-notation)
|
|
spec.
|
|
|
|
A common pattern among shorthand properties (called 'four sides') is one
|
|
where one to four values can be specified, to determine a value for each
|
|
side of an area. In this case, the specified values are interpreted as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
4 values:
|
|
: top right bottom left
|
|
|
|
3 values:
|
|
: top horizontal bottom
|
|
|
|
2 values:
|
|
: vertical horizontal
|
|
|
|
1 value:
|
|
: all
|
|
|
|
## Colors
|
|
|
|
GTK extends the CSS syntax with several additional ways to specify colors.
|
|
|
|
The first is a reference to a color defined via a @define-color rule in CSS.
|
|
The syntax for @define-color rules is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@define-color Name Color
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To refer to the color defined by a @define-color rule, prefix the name with @.
|
|
|
|
GTK also supports color expressions, which allow colors to be transformed to
|
|
new ones. Color expressions can be nested, providing a rich language to
|
|
define colors. Color expressions resemble functions, taking 1 or more colors
|
|
and in some cases a number as arguments.
|
|
|
|
`lighter(Color)`
|
|
: produces a brigher variant of Color
|
|
|
|
`darker(Color)`
|
|
: produces a darker variant of Color
|
|
|
|
`shade(Color, Number)`
|
|
: changes the lightness of Color. The number ranges from 0 for black to 2 for white.
|
|
|
|
`alpha(Color, Number)`
|
|
: replaces the alpha value of color with number (between 0 and 1)
|
|
|
|
`mix(Color1, Color2, Number)`
|
|
: interpolates between the two colors
|
|
|
|
## Images
|
|
|
|
GTK extends the CSS syntax for images and also uses it for specifying icons.
|
|
To load a themed icon, use
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-gtk-icontheme(Name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The specified icon name is used to look up a themed icon, while taking into
|
|
account the values of the -gtk-icon-palette property. This kind of image is
|
|
mainly used as value of the -gtk-icon-source property.
|
|
|
|
Symbolic icons from the icon theme are recolored according to the
|
|
-gtk-icon-palette property, which defines a list of named colors.
|
|
The recognized names for colors in symbolic icons are error, warning
|
|
and success. The default palette maps these three names to symbolic
|
|
colors with the names @error_color, @warning_color and @success_color
|
|
respectively. The syntax for defining a custom palette is a comma-separated
|
|
list of name-color pairs, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
success blue, warning #fc3, error magenta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Recoloring is sometimes needed for images that are not part of an icon theme,
|
|
and the
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-gtk-recolor(uri, palette)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
syntax makes this available. -gtk-recolor requires a url as first argument.
|
|
The remaining arguments specify the color palette to use. If the palette is
|
|
not explicitly specified, the current value of the -gtk-icon-palette property
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
GTK supports scaled rendering on hi-resolution displays. This works best if
|
|
images can specify normal and hi-resolution variants. From CSS, this can be
|
|
done with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-gtk-scaled(Image1, Image2)
|
|
```
