Well, now that's pretty darn snappy isn't it! The more I learn about GTK the more impressed I am with its capabilities. After playing with the gdk-pixbuf-csource solution that Allin suggested, I was actually just now wondering if GTK also provides a way to pack files directly into an executable other than graphics, and by golly here it is. Unfortunately, I see that the GResource capability was added in version 2.32 and since I use Centos 6 I'm on version 2.18. I see that there is a gtk_builder_add_from_string() function to pack a glade file into an executable that's available since version 2.12 so I do have that. I haven't actually started playing with glade yet; I figure I'm better off creating my windows "the hard way" until I get a better grip on how this stuff works. I think I've written my last program, text mode or not, that doesn't include glib.h, though. GString functions alone make it worth using, not to mention the date and time calculators and the linked list handling and on and on... I'm kind of kicking myself for not having looked into this before, actually. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
