Class

Adw.Application

Description [src]

class Adw.Application : Gtk.Application {
  parent_instance: GtkApplication
}

A base class for Adwaita applications.

AdwApplication handles library initialization by calling adw_init() in the default GApplication::startup signal handler, in turn chaining up as required by GtkApplication. Therefore, any subclass of AdwApplication should always chain up its GApplication::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 g_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 GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme is set to 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 GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme is set to TRUE.
