GTK2 - color,font,icon

don570 · Post by **don570** » Sat Mar 01, 2025 8:19 pm

Gtkdialog (and gtk2dialog) if it is compiled for GTK2 can change some features like
background color
font
size of stock gtk icons

I wrote a script to test

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
for P in gtk2dialog gtkdialog; do
  GTKDIALOG=$(which $P) && break
done
export WORKDIR=$HOME/.testscript/tmp
if [ ! -d $WORKDIR ]; then
	mkdir -p $WORKDIR
fi

funcgtkrcCreate() {
		echo '
style "styleBgYellow" {
	bg[NORMAL] = "#AAFFED"
}
widget "*BgYellow" style "styleBgYellow"
style "font"
{
  font_name = "Mono 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "font"
gtk-font-name = "Mono 12"
' > "$WORKDIR"/gtkrc
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$WORKDIR/gtkrc:/root/.gtkrc-2.0 #include theme stuff with system themes

	
}
funcgtkrcCreate
#gtk-theme
echo 'gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-button=72,72"
' >> $WORKDIR/gtkrc
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$WORKDIR/gtkrc:/root/.gtkrc-2.0 #include theme stuff with system themes
DISTRO="$(grep  DISTRO_NAME   /etc/DISTRO_SPECS)"
VERSION=1.0
LENGTH=60
$GTKDIALOG -v > /tmp/GTK
export TEST='
<window title="'Test' '"$VERSION"'" width-request="600" name="BgYellow">
<vbox>
				
		
    <frame> 
         <text>
          <label>'"$DISTRO"'</label>
        </text>
      <text>
         <input file>'/tmp/GTK'</input>
         </text>
     </frame>

<hbox homogeneous="true">

<hbox><frame Length>

      <item>30</item>

           </hbox></frame>
<frame Quit>
<hbox> 
<button relief="2">
   <input file stock="gtk-quit"></input>
     <label>Stop</label>
	  <action>exit:EXIT</action>
</button>
           </hbox></frame>
</hbox>
</hbox>
</vbox> 
</window>
'
$GTKDIALOG -p TEST -c
   
exit 0

Run script in any recent puppy (including fatdog64 and bookwormpup)

Here is ouput

Notice that the Quit icon (a stock gtk icon)
is unusually big. This makes it blur because it is a bitmap
A more reasonable size would be 32

Code: Select all

echo 'gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-button=32,32"

_________________________________________________________________

The gtk theme is called BgYellow. Don't forget to add this to the window directive

Experiment - change the color by changing the hex number #AAFFED

______________________________________________
Change the font from Mono to Dejavu
and there is a noticeable change

Code: Select all

for P in gtk2dialog gtkdialog; do
  GTKDIALOG=$(which $P) && break
done

This allows the script to work properly in Bookwormpup
