GI.Gtk.Objects.AboutDialog

The GtkAboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license. It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.

About dialogs often contain links and email addresses. GtkAboutDialog displays these as clickable links. By default, it calls showUriOnWindow when a user clicks one. The behaviour can be overridden with the AboutDialog::activate-link signal.

To specify a person with an email address, use a string like "Edgar Allan Poe <[e-mail]>". To specify a website with a title, use a string like "GTK+ team http://www.gtk.org".

To make constructing a GtkAboutDialog as convenient as possible, you can use the function gtk_show_about_dialog() which constructs and shows a dialog and keeps it around so that it can be shown again.

Note that GTK+ sets a default title of _("About %s") on the dialog window (where %s is replaced by the name of the application, but in order to ensure proper translation of the title, applications should set the title property explicitly when constructing a GtkAboutDialog, as shown in the following example:

C code

GdkPixbuf *example_logo = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ("./logo.png", NULL);
gtk_show_about_dialog (NULL,
                       "program-name", "ExampleCode",
                       "logo", example_logo,
                       "title", _("About ExampleCode"),
                       NULL);

It is also possible to show a AboutDialog like any other Dialog, e.g. using dialogRun. In this case, you might need to know that the “Close” button returns the GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL response id.

setTranslatorCredits

aboutDialogSetTranslatorCredits

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsAboutDialog a)

=> a

about: a AboutDialog

-> Maybe Text

translatorCredits: the translator credits

-> m ()

Sets the translator credits string which is displayed in the translators tab of the secondary credits dialog.

The intended use for this string is to display the translator of the language which is currently used in the user interface. Using gettext(), a simple way to achieve that is to mark the string for translation:

C code

GtkWidget *about = gtk_about_dialog_new ();
gtk_about_dialog_set_translator_credits (GTK_ABOUT_DIALOG (about),
                                         _("translator-credits"));

It is a good idea to use the customary msgid “translator-credits” for this purpose, since translators will already know the purpose of that msgid, and since AboutDialog will detect if “translator-credits” is untranslated and hide the tab.
