GtkAboutDialog implements
AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.Detailed Description
The GtkAboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about
a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license. It is
also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators
and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically
opened when the user selects the About option from
the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.
About dialog often contain links and email addresses. GtkAboutDialog
supports this by offering global hooks, which are called when the user
clicks on a link or email address, see gtkAboutDialogSetEmailHook
and gtkAboutDialogSetUrlHook. Email addresses in the
authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for
http://url, with
url extending to the next space, tab or line break.
Since 2.18 GtkAboutDialog provides default website and email hooks that
use gtkShowUri.
If you want provide your own hooks overriding the default ones, it is
important to do so before setting the website and email URL properties,
like this:
gtkShowAboutDialog(NULL, "name" = "ExampleCode", "logo" = example_logo,
"title" = "About ExampleCode")
To disable the default hooks, you can pass NULL as the hook func. Then,
the GtkAboutDialog widget will not display the website or the
email addresses as clickable.
To make constructing a GtkAboutDialog as convenient as possible, you can
use the function gtkShowAboutDialog which constructs and shows a dialog
and keeps it around so that it can be shown again.
Note that GTK+ sets a default title of _("About %s")
on the dialog window (where %s is replaced by the name of the
application, but in order to ensure proper translation of the title,
applications should set the title property explicitly when constructing
a GtkAboutDialog, as shown in the following example:
about$setTranslatorCredits(gettext("translator-credits"))
Note that prior to GTK+ 2.12, the "program-name" property
was called "name". This was changed to avoid the conflict with the
"name" property.References
