Disable the annoying scrolling animations in GTK3

Posted 01-03-2024 at 08:38 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 02-20-2024 at 07:00 PM by the dsc

In GTK3 they came up with the notion that if you have a really long file list, and you want to get to the end of the list by pressing the "end" key, you don't really want to immediatelly jump down there to the end, instead you'd want a few seconds of an animation of the file list rolling up. Which ironically contrasts somewhat with their scrollbar innovation, of instantly moving the view to the "proportional" point on the scrollbar, rather than a click out of the scroller being...

Global configuration for "always-use-location-entry" in GTK?

Posted 04-11-2018 at 08:28 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

One of those things I can't understand in UI design is the need some designers have to force the user to have to click or press key combinations to display things that could well have been available the entire time, with no harm whatsoever to the usability, much to the contrary. I guess some people think it's cool and nerdier to have to remember the combinations.

In order to have the location field always shown on nautilus, apparently one can use the command:
Code:
gsettings set

GLADE meets FLUID (FLTK designer) Pt 1

Updated 05-26-2015 at 06:11 PM by rainbowsally (clarification)

But as an addendum, I'd like to add, that if this works (at all) it will be useful for seeing how to write a gtk application by hand by outputting working code for whichever tags it ends up handling correctly. And for those it doesn't handle correctly...

GTK Resource Compilation Utility

Posted 04-09-2015 at 02:30 PM by rainbowsally

GTK Resource Compilation.

There's a utility called 'glib-compile-resources' that takes an xml file that is basically a list of resources such as glade ui files, and it outputs c code to embed the data in the application. It's messy to use, but it works.

There may be another messy gtk/glib utility to create these xml files that 'glib-compile-resources' can use, but if there is here's another one that may or may not be easier to use.
