Application

A base class for Adwaita applications.

adw.application.Application handles library initialization by calling func@init in the default gio.application.Application.startup signal handler, in turn chaining up as required by gtk.application.Application. Therefore, any subclass of adw.application.Application should always chain up its startup handler before using any Adwaita or GTK API.

Automatic Resources

adw.application.Application will automatically load stylesheets located in the application's resource base path (see gio.application.Application.setResourceBasePath, 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: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:dark is TRUE.

class Application : Application {

this(string applicationId, gio.types.ApplicationFlags flags);

adw.style_manager.StyleManager getStyleManager();

}

Constructors

this this(string applicationId, gio.types.ApplicationFlags flags): Creates a new adw.application.Application.
