adw.application

Module for [Application] class

class Application ApplicationGidBuilder ApplicationGidBuilderImpl

Types 3

classApplication : gtk.application.Application

A base class for Adwaita applications.

[adw.application.Application] handles library initialization by calling func@init in the default [gio.application.Application.startup] signal handler, in turn chaining up as required by [gtk.application.Application]. Therefore, any subclass of [adw.application.Application] should always chain up its startup handler before using any Adwaita or GTK API.

Automatic Resources

[adw.application.Application] will automatically load stylesheets located in the application's resource base path (see [gio.application.Application.setResourceBasePath], if they're present.

They can be used to add custom styles to the application, as follows:

  • style.css contains styles that are always present.
  • style-dark.css contains styles only used when

property@StyleManager:dark is TRUE.

  • style-hc.css contains styles used when the system high contrast

preference is enabled.

  • style-hc-dark.css contains styles used when the system high contrast

preference is enabled and property@StyleManager:dark is TRUE.
