Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<Settings> Gtk::Settings::get_default ( )
static

Gets the Gtk::Settings object for the default GDK screen, creating it if necessary.

See get_for_screen().

Returns
A Gtk::Settings object. If there is no default screen, then returns nullptr.
static Glib::RefPtr<Settings> Gtk::Settings::get_for_screen ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Screen >&  screen)
static

Gets the Gtk::Settings object for screen, creating it if necessary.

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Parameters
screenA Gdk::Screen.
Returns
A Gtk::Settings object.
static GType Gtk::Settings::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GtkSettings* Gtk::Settings::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GtkSettings* Gtk::Settings::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GtkSettings* Gtk::Settings::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Settings& Gtk::Settings::operator= ( Settings&&  src)
noexcept
Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_alternative_button_order ( )

Whether buttons in dialogs should use the alternative button order.

Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_alternative_button_order ( ) const

Whether buttons in dialogs should use the alternative button order.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_alternative_sort_arrows ( )

Controls the direction of the sort indicators in sorted list and tree views.

By default an arrow pointing down means the column is sorted in ascending order. When set to true, this order will be inverted.

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_alternative_sort_arrows ( ) const

Controls the direction of the sort indicators in sorted list and tree views.

By default an arrow pointing down means the column is sorted in ascending order. When set to true, this order will be inverted.

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_application_prefer_dark_theme ( )

Whether the application prefers to use a dark theme.

If a GTK+ theme includes a dark variant, it will be used instead of the configured theme.

Some applications benefit from minimizing the amount of light pollution that interferes with the content. Good candidates for dark themes are photo and video editors that make the actual content get all the attention and minimize the distraction of the chrome.

Dark themes should not be used for documents, where large spaces are white/light and the dark chrome creates too much contrast (web browser, text editor...).

Since gtkmm 3.0:
Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_application_prefer_dark_theme ( ) const

Whether the application prefers to use a dark theme.

If a GTK+ theme includes a dark variant, it will be used instead of the configured theme.

Some applications benefit from minimizing the amount of light pollution that interferes with the content. Good candidates for dark themes are photo and video editors that make the actual content get all the attention and minimize the distraction of the chrome.

Dark themes should not be used for documents, where large spaces are white/light and the dark chrome creates too much contrast (web browser, text editor...).

Since gtkmm 3.0:
Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink ( )

Whether the cursor should blink.

Also see the Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_timeout() setting, which allows more flexible control over cursor blinking.

Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink ( ) const

Whether the cursor should blink.

Also see the Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_timeout() setting, which allows more flexible control over cursor blinking.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< int > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_time ( )

Length of the cursor blink cycle, in milliseconds.

Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< int > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_time ( ) const

Length of the cursor blink cycle, in milliseconds.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< int > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_timeout ( )

Time after which the cursor stops blinking, in seconds.

The timer is reset after each user interaction.

Setting this to zero has the same effect as setting Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink() to false.

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< int > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink_timeout ( ) const

Time after which the cursor stops blinking, in seconds.

The timer is reset after each user interaction.

Setting this to zero has the same effect as setting Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_blink() to false.

Since gtkmm 2.12:
Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::ustring > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_theme_name ( )

Name of the cursor theme to use, or NULL to use the default theme.

Returns
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_theme_name ( ) const

Name of the cursor theme to use, or NULL to use the default theme.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy< int > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_cursor_theme_size ( )

Size to use for cursors, or 0 to use the default size.

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::ustring > Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_decoration_layout ( )

This setting determines which buttons should be put in the titlebar of client-side decorated windows, and whether they should be placed at the left of right.

The format of the string is button names, separated by commas. A colon separates the buttons that should appear on the left from those on the right. Recognized button names are minimize, maximize, close, icon (the window icon) and menu (a menu button for the fallback app menu).

For example, "menu:minimize,maximize,close" specifies a menu on the left, and minimize, maximize and close buttons on the right.

Note that buttons will only be shown when they are meaningful. E.g. a menu button only appears when the desktop shell does not show the app menu, and a close button only appears on a window that can be closed.

Also note that the setting can be overridden with the Gtk::HeaderBar::property_decoration_layout() property.
