Implemented Interfaces
GtkCssProvider implements GtkStyleProvider and GtkStyleProviderPrivate.
Includes
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
Description
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 “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 “gtk-key-theme-name”.
Functions
gtk_css_provider_get_default ()
GtkCssProvider *
gtk_css_provider_get_default (void
);
gtk_css_provider_get_default
has been deprecated since version 3.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.
Use gtk_css_provider_new()
instead.
Returns the provider containing the style settings used as a fallback for all widgets.
Returns
The provider used for fallback styling. This memory is owned by GTK+, and you must not free it.
[transfer none]

,const gchar *variant
);
Loads a theme from the usual theme paths
Parameters
name | A theme name | |
variant | variant to load, for example, "dark", or | [allow-none] |
Returns
a GtkCssProvider with the theme loaded. This memory is owned by GTK+, and you must not free it.

into css_provider
, making it clear any previously loaded information.
Parameters
css_provider | ||
path | the path of a filename to load, in the GLib filename encoding | |

is not NULL
and a loading error occurred. To track errors while loading CSS, connect to the “parsing-error” signal.
gtk_css_provider_load_from_resource ()
void gtk_css_provider_load_from_resource (GtkCssProvider *css_provider
,const gchar *resource_path
);

Since: 3.16
gtk_css_provider_new ()
GtkCssProvider *
gtk_css_provider_new (void
);
Returns a newly created GtkCssProvider.
Returns
A new GtkCssProvider
gtk_css_provider_to_string ()
char *
gtk_css_provider_to_string (GtkCssProvider *provider
);
Converts the provider
into a string representation in CSS format.
Using gtk_css_provider_load_from_data()
with the return value from this function on a new provider created with gtk_css_provider_new()
will basically create a duplicate of this provider
.
Parameters
provider | the provider to write to a string |
Returns
a new string representing the provider
.
Since: 3.2
gtk_css_section_get_end_line ()
guint
gtk_css_section_get_end_line (const GtkCssSection *section
);
Returns the line in the CSS document where this section end. The line number is 0-indexed, so the first line of the document will return 0. This value may change in future invocations of this function if section
is not yet parsed completely. This will for example happen in the GtkCssProvider::parsing-error signal. The end position and line may be identical to the start position and line for sections which failed to parse anything successfully.
Parameters
section | the section |
Returns
the line number
Since: 3.2
gtk_css_section_get_end_position ()
guint
gtk_css_section_get_end_position (const GtkCssSection *section
);
Returns the offset in bytes from the start of the current line returned via gtk_css_section_get_end_line()
. This value may change in future invocations of this function if section
is not yet parsed completely. This will for example happen in the GtkCssProvider::parsing-error signal. The end position and line may be identical to the start position and line for sections which failed to parse anything successfully.
Parameters
section | the section |
Returns
the offset in bytes from the start of the line.
Since: 3.2
gtk_css_section_get_file ()
GFile *
gtk_css_section_get_file (const GtkCssSection *section
);
Gets the file that section
was parsed from. If no such file exists, for example because the CSS was loaded via
, then gtk_css_provider_load_from_data()
NULL
is returned.
Parameters
section | the section |
Returns
the GFile that section
was parsed from or NULL
if section
was parsed from other data.
[transfer none]
Since: 3.2
gtk_css_section_get_parent ()
GtkCssSection *
gtk_css_section_get_parent (const GtkCssSection *section
);
Gets the parent section for the given section
. The parent section is the section that contains this section
. A special case are sections of type GTK_CSS_SECTION_DOCUMENT. Their parent will either be NULL
if they are the original CSS document that was loaded by gtk_css_provider_load_from_file()
or a section of type GTK_CSS_SECTION_IMPORT if it was loaded with an import rule from a different file.
Parameters
section | the section |
Returns
the parent section or NULL
if none.
[nullable][transfer none]

Returns
the type of section
Since: 3.2
gtk_css_section_get_start_line ()
guint
gtk_css_section_get_start_line (const GtkCssSection *section
);

enum GtkCssSectionType
The different types of sections indicate parts of a CSS document as parsed by GTK’s CSS parser. They are oriented towards the CSS Grammar, but may contain extensions.
More types might be added in the future as the parser incorporates more features.

Signal Details
The “parsing-error”
signal
void user_function (GtkCssProvider *provider, GtkCssSection *section, GError *error, gpointer user_data)
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.
Parameters
provider | the provider that had a parsing error | |
section | section the error happened in | |
error | The parsing error | |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
