Class

Gtk.Window

Description [src]

class Gtk.Window : Gtk.Widget {
  parent_instance: GtkWidget
}

A GtkWindow is a toplevel window which can contain other widgets.

An example GtkWindow

Windows normally have decorations that are under the control of the windowing system and allow the user to manipulate the window (resize it, move it, close it,…).

GtkWindow as GtkBuildable

The GtkWindow implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports setting a child as the titlebar by specifying “titlebar” as the “type” attribute of a element.

CSS nodes

window.background [.csd / .solid-csd / .ssd] [.maximized / .fullscreen / .tiled]
├── <child>
╰── <titlebar child>.titlebar [.default-decoration]

GtkWindow has a main CSS node with name window and style class .background.

Style classes that are typically used with the main CSS node are .csd (when client-side decorations are in use), .solid-csd (for client-side decorations without invisible borders), .ssd (used by mutter when rendering server-side decorations). GtkWindow also represents window states with the following style classes on the main node: .maximized, .fullscreen, .tiled (when supported, also .tiled-top, .tiled-left, .tiled-right, .tiled-bottom).

GtkWindow subclasses often add their own discriminating style classes, such as .dialog, .popup or .tooltip.

Generally, some CSS properties don’t make sense on the toplevel window node, such as margins or padding. When client-side decorations without invisible borders are in use (i.e. the .solid-csd style class is added to the main window node), the CSS border of the toplevel window is used for resize drags. In the .csd case, the shadow area outside of the window can be used to resize it.

GtkWindow adds the .titlebar and .default-decoration style classes to the widget that is added as a titlebar child.

Accessibility

GtkWindow uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_WINDOW role.

gtk_window_set_default_size

Sets the default size of a window.

gtk_window_set_default_widget

Sets the default widget.

gtk_window_set_deletable

Sets whether the window should be deletable.

gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent

If setting is TRUE, then destroying the transient parent of window will also destroy window itself.

gtk_window_set_display

Sets the GdkDisplay where the window is displayed.

gtk_window_set_focus

Sets the focus widget.

gtk_window_set_focus_visible

Sets whether “focus rectangles” are supposed to be visible.

gtk_window_set_title

Sets the title of the GtkWindow.

gtk_window_set_titlebar

Sets a custom titlebar for window.

gtk_window_set_transient_for

Dialog windows should be set transient for the main application window they were spawned from. This allows window managers to e.g. keep the dialog on top of the main window, or center the dialog over the main window. gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons() and other convenience functions in GTK will sometimes call gtk_window_set_transient_for() on your behalf.

gtk_window_unfullscreen

Asks to remove the fullscreen state for window, and return to its previous state.

gtk_window_unmaximize

Asks to unmaximize window.

gtk_window_unminimize

Asks to unminimize the specified window.
