Class Details¶

class Gtk.CssProvider(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Gtk.StyleProvider
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Gtk.CssProviderClass

Gtk.CssProvider is an object implementing the Gtk.StyleProvider 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.CssProvider.load_from_file() or Gtk.CssProvider.load_from_resource() and adding the provider with Gtk.StyleContext.add_provider() or Gtk.StyleContext.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.Settings :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.Settings :gtk-key-theme-name.

classmethod get_default()[source]¶

Returns:: The provider used for fallback styling. This memory is owned by GTK+, and you must not free it.
Return type:: Gtk.CssProvider

Returns the provider containing the style settings used as a fallback for all widgets.

Deprecated since version 3.24: Use Gtk.CssProvider.new() instead.

classmethod get_named(name, variant)[source]¶

Parameters:

name (str) – A theme name
variant (str or None) – variant to load, for example, “dark”, or None for the default

Returns:

a Gtk.CssProvider with the theme loaded. This memory is owned by GTK+, and you must not free it.

Return type:

Gtk.CssProvider

Loads a theme from the usual theme paths

classmethod new()[source]¶

Returns:: A new Gtk.CssProvider
Return type:: Gtk.CssProvider

Returns a newly created Gtk.CssProvider.

load_from_data(data)[source]¶

Parameters:: data (bytes) – CSS data loaded in memory
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True. The return value is deprecated and False will only be returned for backwards compatibility reasons if an error is not None and a loading error occurred. To track errors while loading CSS, connect to the Gtk.CssProvider ::parsing-error signal.
Return type:: bool

Loads data into self, and by doing so clears any previously loaded information.

load_from_file(file)[source]¶

Parameters:: file (Gio.File) – Gio.File pointing to a file to load
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True. The return value is deprecated and False will only be returned for backwards compatibility reasons if an error is not None and a loading error occurred. To track errors while loading CSS, connect to the Gtk.CssProvider ::parsing-error signal.
Return type:: bool

Loads the data contained in file into self, making it clear any previously loaded information.

load_from_path(path)[source]¶

Parameters:: path (str) – the path of a filename to load, in the GLib filename encoding
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True. The return value is deprecated and False will only be returned for backwards compatibility reasons if an error is not None and a loading error occurred. To track errors while loading CSS, connect to the Gtk.CssProvider ::parsing-error signal.
Return type:: bool

Loads the data contained in path into self, making it clear any previously loaded information.

load_from_resource(resource_path)[source]¶

Parameters:: resource_path (str) – a Gio.Resource resource path

Loads the data contained in the resource at resource_path into the Gtk.CssProvider, clearing any previously loaded information.

To track errors while loading CSS, connect to the Gtk.CssProvider ::parsing-error signal.

New in version 3.16.

to_string()[source]¶

Returns:: a new string representing the self.
Return type:: str

Converts the self into a string representation in CSS format.

Using Gtk.CssProvider.load_from_data() with the return value from this function on a new provider created with Gtk.CssProvider.new() will basically create a duplicate of this self.

New in version 3.2.

do_parsing_error(section, error) virtual¶

Parameters:

section (Gtk.CssSection) –
error (GLib.Error) –

Signal Details¶

Gtk.CssProvider.signals.parsing_error(css_provider, section, error)¶

Signal Name:

parsing-error

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

css_provider (Gtk.CssProvider) – The object which received the signal
section (Gtk.CssSection) – section the error happened in
error (GLib.Error) – The parsing error

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.
