Properties
Description
GtkSettings provide a mechanism to share global settings between applications.
On the X window system, this sharing is realized by an
XSettings
manager that is usually part of the desktop environment, along with
utilities that let the user change these settings. In the absence of
an Xsettings manager, GTK+ reads default values for settings from
settings.ini files in
/etc/gtk-3.0, $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/gtk-3.0
and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.
These files must be valid key files (see GKeyFile), and have
a section called Settings. Themes can also provide default values
for settings by installing a settings.ini file
next to their gtk.css file.
Applications can override system-wide settings by setting the property
of the GtkSettings object with g_object_set(). This should be restricted
to special cases though; GtkSettings are not meant as an application
configuration facility. When doing so, you need to be aware that settings
that are specific to individual widgets may not be available before the
widget type has been realized at least once. The following example
demonstrates a way to do this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
gtk_init (&argc, &argv); // make sure the type is realized g_type_class_unref (g_type_class_ref (GTK_TYPE_IMAGE_MENU_ITEM)); g_object_set (gtk_settings_get_default (), "gtk-enable-animations", FALSE, NULL); |
There is one GtkSettings instance per screen. It can be obtained with
gtk_settings_get_for_screen(), but in many cases, it is more convenient
to use gtk_widget_get_settings(). gtk_settings_get_default() returns the
GtkSettings instance for the default screen.
Functions
gtk_settings_get_default ()
GtkSettings *
gtk_settings_get_default (void);
Gets the GtkSettings object for the default GDK screen, creating
it if necessary. See gtk_settings_get_for_screen().
Returns
a GtkSettings object. If there is
no default screen, then returns NULL.
[nullable][transfer none]
gtk_settings_get_for_screen ()
GtkSettings *
gtk_settings_get_for_screen (GdkScreen *screen);
Gets the GtkSettings object for screen
, creating it if necessary.

Owner: GtkSettings
Flags: Read / Write
Default value: FALSE
The “gtk-alternative-sort-arrows” property

Some applications benefit from minimizing the amount of light pollution that interferes with the content. Good candidates for dark themes are photo and video editors that make the actual content get all the attention and minimize the distraction of the chrome.
Dark themes should not be used for documents, where large spaces are white/light and the dark chrome creates too much contrast (web browser, text editor...).
Owner: GtkSettings

1 |
name1: color1; name2: color2; ... |

The “gtk-decoration-layout” property
“gtk-decoration-layout” char *
This setting determines which buttons should be put in the titlebar of client-side decorated windows, and whether they should be placed at the left of right.

For example, "menu:minimize,maximize,close" specifies a menu on the left, and minimize, maximize and close buttons on the right.
Note that buttons will only be shown when they are meaningful. E.g. a menu button only appears when the desktop shell does not show the app menu, and a close button only appears on a window that can be closed.
