Description

The GnomeAbout widget is used as the standard way of displaying credits in an application. Typically, it will be called when a user selects the About... option from the Help menu. With one simple function call, the application can then display all of the appropriate information.

Details

struct GnomeAbout

struct GnomeAbout;

A dialog box widget containing all of the relevant credit information and displaying as three notebook pages.

                                             const gchar *version,

                                             GdkPixbuf *logo_pixbuf);

Construct an application's credits box. The authors array cannot be empty and the translator_credits should be marked as a translatable string (so that only the translator for the currently active locale is displayed).

`name` :	The name of the application.
`version` :	The version string of the application.
`copyright` :	The application's copyright statement.
`comments` :	A short miscellaneous string.
`authors` :	An `NULL` terminated array of the application authors.
`documenters` :	An array of the application documenters.
`translator_credits` :	The translator for the current locale.
`logo_pixbuf` :	The application's logo.
Returns :	A new "About" dialog.

gnome_about_construct ()

void        gnome_about_construct           (GnomeAbout *about,
                                             const gchar *name,
                                             const gchar *version,
                                             const gchar *copyright,
                                             const gchar *comments,
                                             const gchar **authors,
                                             const gchar **documenters,
                                             const gchar *translator_credits,
                                             GdkPixbuf *logo_pixbuf);

Similar to gnome_about_new() except that the pre-existing about widget is used. Note that in this version of the function, authors is not checked to be non-NULL, so callers must be careful, since bad things will happen if this condition is not met.

`about` :	An existing GnomeAbout instance.
`name` :	The name of the application.
`version` :	The version string of the application.
`copyright` :	The application's copyright statement.
`comments` :	A short miscellaneous string.
`authors` :	An `NULL` terminated array of the application authors.
`documenters` :	An array of the application documenters.
`translator_credits` :	The translator for the current locale.
`logo_pixbuf` :	The application's logo.
