## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

GtkStyleContext is an object that stores styling information affecting a widget defined by GtkWidgetPath.

In order to construct the final style information, GtkStyleContext queries information from all attached GtkStyleProviders. Style providers can be either attached explicitly to the context through `gtk_style_context_add_provider()`, or to the screen through `gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen()`. The resulting style is a combination of all providers’ information in priority order.

For GTK+ widgets, any GtkStyleContext returned by `gtk_widget_get_style_context()` will already have a GtkWidgetPath, a GdkScreen and RTL/LTR information set. The style context will also be updated automatically if any of these settings change on the widget.

If you are using the theming layer standalone, you will need to set a widget path and a screen yourself to the created style context through `gtk_style_context_set_path()` and possibly `gtk_style_context_set_screen()`. See the “Foreign drawing“ example in gtk3-demo.

### Style Classes

Widgets can add style classes to their context, which can be used to associate different styles by class. The documentation for individual widgets lists which style classes it uses itself, and which style classes may be added by applications to affect their appearance.

GTK+ defines macros for a number of style classes.

### Style Regions

Widgets can also add regions with flags to their context. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in a future GTK+ update. Please use style classes instead.

GTK+ defines macros for a number of style regions.

### Custom styling in UI libraries and applications

If you are developing a library with custom GtkWidgets that render differently than standard components, you may need to add a GtkStyleProvider yourself with the `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK` priority, either a GtkCssProvider or a custom object implementing the GtkStyleProvider interface. This way themes may still attempt to style your UI elements in a different way if needed so.

If you are using custom styling on an applications, you probably want then to make your style information prevail to the theme’s, so you must use a GtkStyleProvider with the `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION` priority, keep in mind that the user settings in `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/gtk.css` will still take precedence over your changes, as it uses the `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER` priority.

## Functions

### gtk_style_context_new ()

    GtkStyleContext *
    gtk_style_context_new (void);

Creates a standalone GtkStyleContext, this style context won’t be attached to any widget, so you may want to call `gtk_style_context_set_path()` yourself.

This function is only useful when using the theming layer separated from GTK+, if you are using GtkStyleContext to theme GtkWidgets, use `gtk_widget_get_style_context()` in order to get a style context ready to theme the widget.

#### Returns

A newly created GtkStyleContext.

### gtk_style_context_add_provider ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_add_provider (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                    GtkStyleProvider *provider,
                                    guint priority);

Adds a style provider to `context` , to be used in style construction. Note that a style provider added by this function only affects the style of the widget to which `context` belongs. If you want to affect the style of all widgets, use `gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen()`.

Note: If both priorities are the same, a GtkStyleProvider added through this function takes precedence over another added through `gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen()`.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
provider | a GtkStyleProvider |
priority | the priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK` and `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER` |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen
                                   (GdkScreen *screen,
                                    GtkStyleProvider *provider,
                                    guint priority);

Adds a global style provider to `screen` , which will be used in style construction for all GtkStyleContexts under `screen` .

GTK+ uses this to make styling information from GtkSettings available.

Note: If both priorities are the same, A GtkStyleProvider added through `gtk_style_context_add_provider()` takes precedence over another added through this function.

#### Parameters

screen | a GdkScreen |
provider | a GtkStyleProvider |
priority | the priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK` and `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER` |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_get (GtkStyleContext *context,

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_direction ()

    GtkTextDirection
    gtk_style_context_get_direction (GtkStyleContext *context);

`gtk_style_context_get_direction` has been deprecated since version 3.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_style_context_get_state()` and check for GTK_STATE_FLAG_DIR_LTR and GTK_STATE_FLAG_DIR_RTL instead.

Returns the widget direction used for rendering.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |

#### Returns

the widget direction

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_junction_sides ()

                                    GtkStateFlags state,
                                    GValue *value);

Gets a style property from `context` for the given state.

Note that not all CSS properties that are supported by GTK+ can be retrieved in this way, since they may not be representable as GValue. GTK+ defines macros for a number of properties that can be used with this function.

Note that passing a state other than the current state of `context` is not recommended unless the style context has been saved with `gtk_style_context_save()`.

When `value` is no longer needed, `g_value_unset()` must be called to free any allocated memory.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
property | style property name |
state | state to retrieve the property value for |
value | return location for the style property value. | [out][transfer full]

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_state ()

    GtkStateFlags
    gtk_style_context_get_state (GtkStyleContext *context);

Returns the state used for style matching.

This method should only be used to retrieve the GtkStateFlags to pass to GtkStyleContext methods, like `gtk_style_context_get_padding()`. If you need to retrieve the current state of a GtkWidget, use `gtk_widget_get_state_flags()`.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |

#### Returns

the state flags

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_style ()

value | Return location for the property value |

### gtk_style_context_get_style_valist ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_get_style_valist (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                        va_list args);

Retrieves several widget style properties from `context` according to the current style.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
args | va_list of property name/return location pairs, followed by `NULL` |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_valist ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_get_valist (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                  GtkStateFlags state,
                                  va_list args);

Retrieves several style property values from `context` for a given state.

### gtk_style_context_get_section ()

    GtkCssSection *
    gtk_style_context_get_section (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                   const gchar *property);

Queries the location in the CSS where `property` was defined for the current `context` . Note that the state to be queried is taken from `gtk_style_context_get_state()`.

If the location is not available, `NULL` will be returned. The location might not be available for various reasons, such as the property being overridden, `property` not naming a supported CSS property or tracking of definitions being disabled for performance reasons.

Shorthand CSS properties cannot be queried for a location and will always return `NULL`.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
property | style property name |

#### Returns

`NULL` or the section where a value for `property` was defined.

[nullable][transfer none]

### gtk_style_context_get_color ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_get_color (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                 GtkStateFlags state,
                                 GdkRGBA *color);

Gets the foreground color for a given state.

See `gtk_style_context_get_property()` and GTK_STYLE_PROPERTY_COLOR for details.

### gtk_style_context_get_background_color ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_get_background_color
                                   (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                    GtkStateFlags state,
                                    GdkRGBA *color);

`gtk_style_context_get_background_color` has been deprecated since version 3.16 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_render_background()` instead.

Gets the background color for a given state.

This function is far less useful than it seems, and it should not be used in newly written code. CSS has no concept of "background color", as a background can be an image, or a gradient, or any other pattern including solid colors.

The only reason why you would call `gtk_style_context_get_background_color()` is to use the returned value to draw the background with it; the correct way to achieve this result is to use `gtk_render_background()` instead, along with CSS style classes to modify the color to be rendered.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
state | state to retrieve the color for |
color | return value for the background color. | [out]

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_get_border_color ()

                                        GdkRGBA *color);

`gtk_style_context_get_border_color` has been deprecated since version 3.16 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_render_frame()` instead.

### gtk_style_context_invalidate ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_invalidate (GtkStyleContext *context);

`gtk_style_context_invalidate` has been deprecated since version 3.12 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Style contexts are invalidated automatically.

Invalidates `context` style information, so it will be reconstructed again. It is useful if you modify the `context` and need the new information immediately.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext. |

### gtk_style_context_state_is_running ()

    gboolean
    gtk_style_context_state_is_running (GtkStyleContext *context,

`gtk_style_context_state_is_running` has been deprecated since version 3.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function always returns `FALSE`

Returns `TRUE` if there is a transition animation running for the current region (see `gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region()`).

If `progress` is not `NULL`, the animation progress will be returned there, 0.0 means the state is closest to being unset, while 1.0 means it’s closest to being set. This means transition animation will run from 0 to 1 when `state` is being set and from 1 to 0 when it’s being unset.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
state | a widget state |
progress | return location for the transition progress. | [out]

#### Returns

`TRUE` if there is a running transition animation for `state` .

Looks up `stock_id` in the icon factories associated to `context` and the default icon factory, returning an icon set if found, otherwise `NULL`.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
stock_id | an icon name |

#### Returns

The looked up `GtkIconSet`, or `NULL`.

### gtk_style_context_notify_state_change ()

    void

                                           GtkStateType state,
                                           gboolean state_value);

`gtk_style_context_notify_state_change` has been deprecated since version 3.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function does nothing.

Notifies a state change on `context` , so if the current style makes use of transition animations, one will be started so all rendered elements under `region_id` are animated for state `state` being set to value `state_value` .

The `window` parameter is used in order to invalidate the rendered area as the animation runs, so make sure it is the same window that is being rendered on by the gtk_render_*() functions.

If `region_id` is `NULL`, all rendered elements using `context` will be affected by this state transition.

As a practical example, a GtkButton notifying a state transition on the prelight state:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    gtk_style_context_notify_state_change (context,
                                           gtk_widget_get_window (widget),
                                           NULL,
                                           GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT,
                                           button->in_button);

Can be handled in the CSS file like this:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    button {
        background-color: #f00
    }

    button:hover {
        background-color: #fff;
        transition: 200ms linear
    }

This combination will animate the button background from red to white if a pointer enters the button, and back to red if the pointer leaves the button.

Note that `state` is used when finding the transition parameters, which is why the style places the transition under the :hover pseudo-class.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
window | a GdkWindow |
region_id | animatable region to notify on, or `NULL`. See `gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region()`. | [allow-none]
state | state to trigger transition for |
state_value | `TRUE` if `state` is the state we are changing to, `FALSE` if we are changing away from it |

### gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region
                                   (GtkStyleContext *context,
                                    gpointer region_id);

`gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region` has been deprecated since version 3.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function does nothing.

Pushes an animatable region, so all further gtk_render_*() calls between this call and the following `gtk_style_context_pop_animatable_region()` will potentially show transition animations for this region if `gtk_style_context_notify_state_change()` is called for a given state, and the current theme/style defines transition animations for state changes.

The `region_id` used must be unique in `context` so the themes can uniquely identify rendered elements subject to a state transition.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
region_id | unique identifier for the animatable region |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_cancel_animations ()

    void

                                         gpointer region_id);

`gtk_style_context_cancel_animations` has been deprecated since version 3.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function does nothing.

Stops all running animations for `region_id` and all animatable regions underneath.

A `NULL` `region_id` will stop all ongoing animations in `context` , when dealing with a GtkStyleContext obtained through `gtk_widget_get_style_context()`, this is normally done for you in all circumstances you would expect all widget to be stopped, so this should be only used in complex widgets with different animatable regions.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
region_id | animatable region to stop, or `NULL`. See `gtk_style_context_push_animatable_region()`. | [allow-none]

Since: 3.0

                                         gint dy);

`gtk_style_context_scroll_animations` has been deprecated since version 3.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function does nothing.

This function is analogous to `gdk_window_scroll()`, and should be called together with it so the invalidation areas for any ongoing animation are scrolled together with it.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |
window | a GdkWindow used previously in `gtk_style_context_notify_state_change()` |
dx | Amount to scroll in the X axis |
dy | Amount to scroll in the Y axis |

    void
    gtk_style_context_reset_widgets (GdkScreen *screen);

This function recomputes the styles for all widgets under a particular GdkScreen. This is useful when some global parameter has changed that affects the appearance of all widgets, because when a widget gets a new style, it will both redraw and recompute any cached information about its appearance. As an example, it is used when the color scheme changes in the related GtkSettings object.

#### Parameters

screen | a GdkScreen |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_set_background ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_set_background (GtkStyleContext *context,

context | a GtkStyleContext |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_save ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_save (GtkStyleContext *context);

Saves the `context` state, so temporary modifications done through `gtk_style_context_add_class()`, `gtk_style_context_remove_class()`, `gtk_style_context_set_state()`, etc. can quickly be reverted in one go through `gtk_style_context_restore()`.

The matching call to `gtk_style_context_restore()` must be done before GTK returns to the main loop.

#### Parameters

context | a GtkStyleContext |

Since: 3.0

### gtk_style_context_set_direction ()

    void
    gtk_style_context_set_direction (GtkStyleContext *context,

`gtk_style_context_set_direction` has been deprecated since version 3.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_style_context_set_state()` with GTK_STATE_FLAG_DIR_LTR and GTK_STATE_FLAG_DIR_RTL instead.

Sets the reading direction for rendering purposes.

If you are using a GtkStyleContext returned from `gtk_widget_get_style_context()`, you do not need to call this yourself.

`gtk_style_context_add_region` has been deprecated since version 3.14 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Adds a region to `context` , so posterior calls to `gtk_style_context_get()` or any of the gtk_render_*() functions will make use of this new region for styling.

In the CSS file format, a GtkTreeView defining a “row” region, would be matched by:

    1

Pseudo-classes are used for matching `flags` , so the two following rules:

    1
    2
    treeview row:nth-child(even) { ... }
    treeview row:nth-child(odd) { ... }

would apply to even and odd rows, respectively.
