49322 | 597 There are some things you can set without using any style or widget name, |
598 which affect GTK as a whole. Most of these are poorly documented, but can | |
599 be found in the `Properties' section of the documentation page for | |
600 @code{GtkSetting}, in the GTK document references below. | |
601 | |
602 One property of interest is @code{gtk-font-name} which sets the default | |
603 font for GTK; you must use Pango font names (@pxref{GTK styles}). A | |
604 @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} file that just sets a default font looks like this: | |
605 | |

607 gtk-font-name = "courier 12" | |

631 Widgets are specified by widget class or by widget name. |
49322 | 632 The widget class is the type of the widget, for example @code{GtkMenuBar}. |
633 The widget name is the name given to a specific widget within a program. | |
634 A widget always have a class but it is not mandatory to give a name to | |
635 a widget. Absolute names are sequences of widget names or | |
636 widget classes, corresponding to hierarchies of widgets embedded within | |
637 other widgets. For example, if a @code{GtkWindow} contains a @code{GtkVBox} | |
638 which in turn contains a @code{GtkMenuBar}, the absolute class name | |
639 is @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}. | |
640 | |
641 @noindent | |
642 If the widgets are named ``top'', ``box'' and ``menubar'', the absolute | |
643 widget name is @code{top.box.menubar}, | |
644 | |
645 When assigning a style to a widget, you can use the absolute class | |
646 name or the absolute widget name. | |
647 There are two commands: @code{widget_class} will assign a style to | |
648 widgets, matching only against the absolute class name. | |
649 The command @code{widget} will match the absolute widget name, | |
650 but if there is no name for a widget in the hierarchy, the class is matched. | |
651 These commands require the absolute name and the style name to be | |
652 within double quotes. These commands are written at the top level in a | |
653 @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} file, like this: | |
654 | |
655 @smallexample | |
656 style "menufont" | |
657 @{ | |
658 font_name = "helvetica bold 14" | |
659 @} | |
660 | |
661 widget "top.box.menubar" style "menufont" | |
662 widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar" style "menufont" | |
663 @end smallexample | |
664 | |
665 | |
666 Matching of absolute names is done with shell ``glob'' syntax, that is | |

752 and dialogs. The names do not start with @samp{Emacs}, as they are |
49322 | 753 free-standing windows and not contained (in the GTK sense) by the |
754 Emacs GtkWindow. To customize the dialogs and menus, use wildcards like this: | |
755 | |
756 @smallexample | |
757 widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style" | |
758 widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style" | |
759 widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style" | |
760 @end smallexample | |
761 | |
762 An alternative is to put customization into @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}. | |
763 This file is only read by Emacs, so anything in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} | |
764 affects Emacs but leaves other applications unaffected. | |
765 For example, the drop down menu in the file dialog can not | |
766 be customized by any absolute widget name, only by an absolute | |

767 class name. This is so because the widgets in the drop down menu does not |
49322 | 768 have names and the menu is not contained in the Emacs GtkWindow. |
769 To have all menus in Emacs look the same, use this in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}: | |
770 | |
771 @smallexample | |
772 widget_class "*Menu*" style "my_menu_style" | |

778 | |
779 In a GTK style you specify the appearance widgets shall have. You | |
780 can specify foreground and background color, background pixmap and font. | |
781 The edit widget (where you edit the text) in Emacs is a GTK widget, | |
782 but trying to specify a style for the edit widget will have no effect. | |
783 This is so that Emacs compiled for GTK is compatible with Emacs compiled | |
784 for other X toolkits. The settings for foreground, background and font | |
785 for the edit widget is taken from the X resources; @pxref{Resources}. | |
786 Here is an example of two style declarations, ``default'' and ``ruler'': | |
787 | |
788 @smallexample | |
789 | |
790 pixmap_path "/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps" | |
791 | |
792 style "default" | |
793 @{ | |
794 font_name = "helvetica 12" | |
795 | |
796 bg[NORMAL] = @{ 0.83, 0.80, 0.73 @} | |
797 bg[SELECTED] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @} | |
798 bg[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.77, 0.77, 0.66 @} | |
799 bg[ACTIVE] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @} | |
800 bg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @} | |
801 | |
802 fg[NORMAL] = "black" | |
803 fg[SELECTED] = @{ 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 @} | |
804 fg[ACTIVE] = "black" | |
805 fg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 @} | |
806 | |
807 base[INSENSITIVE] = "#777766" | |
808 text[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.60, 0.65, 0.57 @} | |
809 | |
810 bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "background.xpm" | |
811 bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "background.xpm" | |
812 bg_pixmap[ACTIVE] = "background.xpm" | |

813 bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT] = "<none>" |
49322 | 814 |
815 @} | |
816 | |
817 style "ruler" = "default" | |
818 @{ | |
819 font_name = "helvetica 8" | |
820 @} | |
821 | |

823 | |
824 The style ``ruler'' inherits from ``default''. This way you can build | |
825 on existing styles. The syntax for fonts and colors is described below. | |
826 | |
827 As this example shows, it is possible to specify several values | |
828 for foreground and background depending on which state the widget has. | |
829 The possible states are | |
830 @table @code | |
831 @item NORMAL | |
832 This is the default state for widgets. | |
833 @item ACTIVE | |
834 This is the state for a widget that is ready to do something. It is | |

|
835 also for the trough of a scroll bar, i.e. @code{bg[ACTIVE] = "red"} |
49322 | 836 sets the scroll bar trough to red. Buttons that have been pressed but |
837 not released yet (``armed'') are in this state. | |
838 @item PRELIGHT | |
839 This is the state when widgets that can be manipulated have the mouse | |
840 pointer over them. For example when the mouse is over the thumb in the | |
841 scroll bar or over a menu item. When the mouse is over a button that | |
842 is not pressed, the button is in this state. | |
843 @item SELECTED | |
844 This is the state when some data has been selected by the user. It can | |
845 be selected text or items selected in a list. | |
846 There is no place in Emacs where this setting has any effect. | |
847 @item INSENSITIVE | |
848 This is the state for widgets that are visible, but they can not be | |
849 manipulated like they normally can. For example, buttons that can't be | |
850 pressed and menu items that can't be selected. | |
851 Text for menu items that are not available can be set to yellow with | |
852 @code{fg[INSENSITIVE] = "yellow"}. | |
853 @end table | |
854 | |
855 Here are the things that can go in a style declaration: | |
856 | |
857 @table @code | |
858 @item bg[@var{state}] = @var{color} | |
859 This is the background color widgets use. This background is not used for | |
860 editable text, use @code{base} for that. | |
861 | |
862 @item base[@var{state}] = @var{color} | |
863 This is the background color for editable text. | |

864 In Emacs, this color is used for the background of the text fields in the |
49322 | 865 file dialog. |
866 | |
867 @item bg_pixmap[@var{state}] = "@var{pixmap}" | |
868 You can specify a pixmap to be used instead of the background color. | |
869 @var{pixmap} is a file name. GTK can use a number of file formats, | |
870 including XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG and PNG. If you want a widget to use the same | |
871 pixmap as its parent, use @samp{<parent>}. If you don't want any | |
872 pixmap use @samp{<none>}. Using @samp{<none>} can be useful | |
873 if your style inherits a style that does specify a pixmap. | |
874 | |
875 GTK looks for the pixmap in directories specified in @code{pixmap_path}. | |
876 It is not possible to refer to a file by its absolute path name. | |
877 @code{pixmap_path} is a colon-separated list of directories within double | |
878 quotes, specified at the top level in a @file{gtkrc} file (i.e. not inside | |
879 a style definition; see example above): | |
880 | |
881 @smallexample | |
882 pixmap_path "/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps" | |
883 @end smallexample | |
884 | |
885 @item fg[@var{state}] = @var{color} | |
886 This is the foreground color widgets use. This is the color | |
887 of text in menus and buttons. It is also the color for the arrows in the | |
888 scroll bar. For editable text, use @code{text}. | |
889 | |

891 This is the color for editable text. In Emacs, this color is used for the |
49322 | 892 text fields in the file dialog. |
893 | |
894 @item font_name = "@var{font}" | |
895 This is the font a widget shall use. @var{font} is a Pango font name, | |
896 for example ``Sans Italic 10'', ``Helvetica Bold 12'', ``Courier 14'', | |
897 ``Times 18''. See below for exact syntax. The names are case insensitive. | |

908 @code{#rrrrggggbbbb}, @code{#rrrgggbbb}, |
49322 | 909 @code{#rrggbb}, or @code{#rgb}. In each of these r, g and b are hex digits. |
910 | |
911 @noindent | |
912 An RGB triplet looks like @code{@{ r, g, b @}}, where r, g and b are either | |
913 integers in the range 0-65535 or floats in the range 0.0-1.0. | |
914 | |
915 Pango font names have the form ``@var{family-list} @var{style-options} | |
916 @var{size}''. | |
917 @cindex Pango font name | |
918 @noindent | |
919 @var{family-list} is a comma separated list of font families optionally | |
920 terminated by a comma. This way you can specify several families and the | |
921 first one found will be used. @var{family} corresponds to the second part in | |
922 an X font name, for example in | |
923 | |
924 @smallexample | |
925 -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-64-iso10646-1 | |
926 @end smallexample | |
927 | |
928 @noindent | |
929 the family name is ``times''. | |
930 | |
931 @noindent | |
932 @var{style-options} is a whitespace separated list of words where each word | |
933 is a style, variant, weight, or stretch. The default value for all of | |
934 these is @code{normal}. | |
935 | |
936 @noindent | |
937 A `style' corresponds to the fourth part of an X font name. In X font | |
938 names it is the character ``r'', ``i'' or ``o''; in Pango font names the | |
939 corresponding values are @code{normal}, @code{italic}, or @code{oblique}. | |
940 | |
941 @noindent | |
942 A `variant' is either @code{normal} or @code{small-caps}. | |
943 Small caps is a font with the lower case characters replaced by | |
944 smaller variants of the capital characters. | |
945 | |
946 @noindent | |
947 Weight describes the ``boldness'' of a font. It corresponds to the third | |
948 part of an X font name. It is one of @code{ultra-light}, @code{light}, | |
949 @code{normal}, @code{bold}, @code{ultra-bold}, or @code{heavy}. | |
950 | |
951 @noindent | |
952 Stretch gives the width of the font relative to other designs within a | |
953 family. It corresponds to the fifth part of an X font name. It is one of | |
954 @code{ultra-condensed}, @code{extra-condensed}, @code{condensed}, | |
955 @code{semi-condensed}, @code{normal}, @code{semi-expanded}, | |
956 @code{expanded}, @code{extra-expanded}, or @code{ultra-expanded}. | |
957 | |
