CssProviderProtocol

public protocol CssProviderProtocol : ObjectProtocol, StyleProviderProtocol

GtkCssProvider is an object implementing the GtkStyleProvider interface. It is able to parse CSS-like input in order to style widgets.

An application can make GTK+ parse a specific CSS style sheet by calling gtk_css_provider_load_from_file() or gtk_css_provider_load_from_resource() and adding the provider with gtk_style_context_add_provider() or gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen().

In addition, certain files will be read when GTK+ is initialized. First, the file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/gtk.css is loaded if it exists. Then, GTK+ loads the first existing file among XDG_DATA_HOME/themes/THEME/gtk-VERSION/gtk.css, $HOME/.themes/THEME/gtk-VERSION/gtk.css, $XDG_DATA_DIRS/themes/THEME/gtk-VERSION/gtk.css and DATADIR/share/themes/THEME/gtk-VERSION/gtk.css, where THEME is the name of the current theme (see the GtkSettings:gtk-theme-name setting), DATADIR is the prefix configured when GTK+ was compiled (unless overridden by the GTK_DATA_PREFIX environment variable), and VERSION is the GTK+ version number. If no file is found for the current version, GTK+ tries older versions all the way back to 3.0.

In the same way, GTK+ tries to load a gtk-keys.css file for the current key theme, as defined by GtkSettings:gtk-key-theme-name.

The CssProviderProtocol protocol exposes the methods and properties of an underlying GtkCssProvider instance. The default implementation of these can be found in the protocol extension below. For a concrete class that implements these methods and properties, see CssProvider. Alternatively, use CssProviderRef as a lighweight, unowned reference if you already have an instance you just want to use.

  • Signals that a parsing error occurred. the path, line and position describe the actual location of the error as accurately as possible.

    Parsing errors are never fatal, so the parsing will resume after the error. Errors may however cause parts of the given data or even all of it to not be parsed at all. So it is a useful idea to check that the parsing succeeds by connecting to this signal.

    Note that this signal may be emitted at any time as the css provider may opt to defer parsing parts or all of the input to a later time than when a loading function was called.

    Note

    This represents the underlying parsing-error signal

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
@inlinable
func onParsingError(flags: ConnectFlags = ConnectFlags(0), handler: @escaping (_ unownedSelf: CssProviderRef, _ section: CssSectionRef, _ error: GLib.ErrorRef) -> Void) -> Int

    Parameters

    flags

    Flags
    unownedSelf

    Reference to instance of self
    section

    section the error happened in
    error

    The parsing error
    handler

    The signal handler to call Run the given callback whenever the parsingError signal is emitted
