Method Detail

getButtonImages

public boolean getButtonImages()

Since:: 4.0.14

Are images (icons) being shown in menus by default?

Since:: 4.0.14

getShowInputMethodMenu

getShowUnicodeMenu

public boolean getShowUnicodeMenu()

Since:: 4.0.14

setButtonImages

public void setButtonImages(boolean setting)

Set whether Buttons should have images (ie stock icons) showing on them by default.

 settings.setButtonImages(true);

The default was true before GNOME 2.28, but it seems to have been changed as a result of changing the default value of GConf key /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons . This allows you to return that setting to normal for your application.

The underlying GtkSetting is the "gtk-button-images" property.

Since:: 4.0.14

setMenuImages

public void setMenuImages(boolean setting)

Set whether MenuItems should have images (notably stock icons) showing on them by default.

 settings.setMenuImages(true);

Somewhat amazingly, GtkSettings properties are dynamic at runtime; this property does not even exist until the underlying GtkImageMenuItem class has initialized and installed the required property. So if wish to call this you need to do so after you've built some menus.

The underlying GtkSetting is the "gtk-menu-images" property.

Since:: 4.0.14

setShowInputMethodMenu

public void setShowInputMethodMenu(boolean setting)

Should the context menus of TextViews and Entries have a menu item offering to let you change the InputMethod?

Normally they do, so true is the default.

Since:: 4.0.14

setShowUnicodeMenu

public void setShowUnicodeMenu(boolean setting)

Should the context menus of TextViews and Entries have a menu item offering to let you input unusual Unicode control sequences?

By default they do, so you can expect this to be true.

Since:: 4.0.14
