Since version 2.6, GTK+ provides the GtkAboutDialog widget as a replacement for the GnomeAbout dialog in the libgnomeui library. GtkAboutDialog supports all features found in GnomeAbout. The GtkAboutDialog API is bigger, since it follows the GTK+ policy to have getters and setters for all widget properties, but it isn't much more complex than GnomeAbout. To convert an application that uses GnomeAbout to GtkAboutDialog, as a first step, replace calls like const gchar *documentors[] = { "Documenter 1", "Documenter 2", NULL }; const gchar *documentors[] = { "Author 1", "Author 2", NULL }; GtkWidget *about = gnome_about_new ("GNOME Test Program", VERSION, "(C) 1998-2001 The Free Software Foundation", "Program to display GNOME functions.", authors, documenters, _("translator-credits"), "logo.png"); by something like GdkPixbuf *logo = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ("logo.png", NULL); GtkWidget *about = g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_ABOUT_DIALOG, "name", "GNOME Test Program", "version", VERSION, "copyright", "(C) 1998-2001 The Free Software Foundation", "comments", "Program to display GNOME functions.", "authors", authors, "documenters", documenters, "translator-credits", _("translator-credits"), "logo", logo, NULL); g_object_unref (pixbuf);
If the Once you are done with the initial conversion, you may want to look into using some of the features of GtkAboutDialog which are not present in GnomeAbout.
