Glade 2 Tutorial

Posted by michael on from the hey-it-looks-just-like-windows dept.

Renartthefox writes "Rikke D. Giles has written a new tutorial for Glade II. Glade is a program designed to enable the quick building of graphical user interfaces for GTK+ and GNOME applications. However, it can be used with any desktop environment in linux, as long as the GTK+ and/or GNOME libraries are installed."

    If I'm not wrong, glade files can also be importd in qt designer (qt's gui builder). Nice work.

  2. Great, but..... by mickwd · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can we have articles like this listed and catalogued in a single place somewhere ?

    If I happen to be wanting to learn Glade 2 now, this article will be really useful. Otherwise, I could bookmark it for future reference (assuming it'll still be there in a few months time) - or download it, and save it on a directory somewhere.

    What about having somewhere such as the Linux Documentation Project keep a collection of articles like this (or keep a list of dated bookmarks to useful external articles) - simultaneously making both the Linux Documentation Project, and the articles in links to, more useful resources to more people.

    Due to the nature of the work at my place of employment, we're generally stuck using Visual C++ (on the Windows platform) for most of our coding.

    Nonetheless, I work with Glade on weekends for fun. Here are some other interesting links that you'll undoubtedly enjoy:

    Something strange is happening here. I am not seeing any kind of adverse effect to the machine from being slashdotted. Its chugging along fine, happily serving up pages.

    Hmm, must be some kind of multi GHz Quad Processor heavy iron type of box, right?

    Nope.

    P75, 48megs of ram. No kidding.

    cat /proc/cpuinfo
    model : Pentium 75+
    vendor_id : GenuineIntel
    bogomips : 40.04

    Granted, I'm only seeing 109 current connections to the web server right now. But its running just fine. This is probably mostly due to our colocation hosts at VDomainHosting having enough available bandwidth to serve things up in a timely manner. Thanks guys!

    And thanks to Rikke for such a great tutorial. She presented it a few weeks ago at the Linux Fest NW event, to a packed room.

  5. Re:not an IDE by Saint+Stephen · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I learned about glade by trying DIASCE2, a Visual IDE for Glade. Before Glade I couldn't grok automake, pkg-config, much less GTK; by writing a simple Hello Glade World I grokked it all, wrote my own build scripts, and started writing Gnome apps.

    Glade was only a stepping stone for me to using the raw GTK api. I find GTK in C to be quite elegant. The only real wart I found is that Popped-up menus are reparented in a fake GtkWindow, where as top levels aren't. Baring that, raw GTK in C is good enough for me.
