What is up with the completely out of place look of gtk window title bar in Windows?
I remember I didnot set any custom decoration for the root window…but still…it shows as a big fat bar colored white. The window icon also disappeared and the call gtk.WindowSetDefaultIconName("app-logo")
is absolutely useless…it can’t seem to find the icon? I set the icon location before with a call gtk.IconThemeGetForDisplay(gdk.DisplayGetDefault()).AddSearchPath("./res/images")
. Under images directory you get the usual hicolor directory structure. But it seems all these calls don’t work for some reason…or am I missing something? It was working just fine in Linux with the window manager and such. Please help. Here is a screenshot of the bar:
Hi @darkc0der, to get native titlebars you can set the environment variable GTK_CSD=0
- From the Command Prompt:
set GTK_CSD=0 path\to\myapp.exe
- From PowerShell:
$env:GTK_CSD="0" path\to\myapp.exe
- From MSYS2 shell:
GTK_CSD=0 path/to/myapp.exe
- From code:
int main() { g_setenv ("GTK_CSD", "0", TRUE); }
Just a gentle reminder to please be nice. People are going to feel happier about helping you if you’re not criticising their work.
What does this variable mean and why do I need it? Where is the docs for this? Anyways thank you very much, I was so lost.
Sorry if i came of as rude, but I was actually very frustrated with this ‘minor’ issue.
UPDATE: After setting the env var this magically fixed the issue. The window is styled natively and the app icon loads properly. So the issues are fixed.
Discourse allows you to mark lb90’s post as the solution to the question so it’s highlighted to others
Hi @darkc0der, most environment variables are documented at Gtk – 4.0: Running and debugging GTK Applications
