Load a background image in a Gtk Window
FROM: http://www.gtkforums.com/about446.html For completeness heres a copy of the routine I used to create windows with a background image… You probably need to customise it a little, Im working on an embedded device that supports only 640x480. GtkWidget *SetupWindow(gchar *data,gboolean Transient) { GdkPixmap *background; GdkPixbuf *pixbuf; GdkScreen *ourscreen; GdkColormap *colormap; GtkStyle *style; GdkColor fg; GdkColor bg; GError *error = NULL; GdkRectangle *rect; GtkWidget *window; pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ("pics/fb.png",&error); if (error != NULL) { if (error->domain == GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR) { g_print ("Pixbuf Related Error:\n"); } if (error->domain == G_FILE_ERROR) { g_print ("File Error: Check file permissions and state:\n"); } g_printerr ("%s\n", error[0].message); exit(1); } gdk_pixbuf_render_pixmap_and_mask (pixbuf, &background, NULL, 0); style = gtk_style_new (); style->bg_pixmap[0] = background; window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), data); // gtk_window_maximize(GTK_WINDOW(window)); gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW (window),TRUE); gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window),640,480); gtk_widget_set_style (GTK_WIDGET(window), GTK_STYLE(style)); gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window),GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS); gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 14); if(Transient==TRUE) gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW (window),GTK_WINDOW(mainwindow)); gtk_widget_show (window); return(window); }
