Class Details

class Adw.Application(**kwargs)

Bases:

Gtk.Application

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Adw.ApplicationClass

A base class for Adwaita applications.

AdwApplication handles library initialization by calling [func`init`] in the default [signal`Gio`.Application::startup] signal handler, in turn chaining up as required by [class`Gtk`.Application]. Therefore, any subclass of AdwApplication should always chain up its startup handler before using any Adwaita or GTK API.

Automatic Resources

AdwApplication will automatically load stylesheets located in the application’s resource base path (see [method`Gio`.Application.set_resource_base_path], 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`:py:data::dark<Adw.Application.props.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`:py:data::dark<Adw.Application.props.dark>] is TRUE.

classmethod new(application_id, flags)

Parameters:

• application_id (str or None) – The application ID

• flags (Gio.ApplicationFlags) – The application flags

Returns:

the newly created AdwApplication

Return type:

Adw.Application

Creates a new AdwApplication.

If application_id is not NULL, then it must be valid. See [func`Gio`.Application.id_is_valid].

If no application ID is given then some features (most notably application uniqueness) will be disabled.

get_style_manager()

Returns:

the style manager

Return type:

Adw.StyleManager

Gets the style manager for self.

This is a convenience property allowing to access AdwStyleManager through property bindings or expressions.
