Description The gtk.Settings object stores the values of the global settings associated with a gtk.gdk.Screen. The gtk.Settings object for the default gtk.gdk.Screen can be retrieved using the gtk.settings_get_default() function. The gtk.Widget.get_settings() method returns the gtk.Settings object of the gtk.gdk.Screen that the widget is displayed on. Methods gtk.Settings.set_string_property set_string_property name v_string origin name : the name of the property to set v_string : the string value origin : the string value of the origin The set_string_property() method sets the property named name to the string value specified by v_string at the string origin specified by origin. origin is an application specified string like "filename:linenumber" or "myapp:widgetname". gtk.Settings.set_long_property set_long_property name v_long origin name : the name of the property to set v_long : the long value origin : the string value of the origin The set_long_property() method sets the property named name to the long value specified by v_long at the string origin specified by origin. origin is an application specified string like "filename:linenumber" or "myapp:widgetname". gtk.Settings.set_double_property set_double_property name v_double origin name : the name of the property to set v_double : the double value origin : the string value of the origin The set_double_property() method sets the property named name to the double value specified by v_long at the string origin specified by origin. origin is an application specified string like "filename:linenumber" or "myapp:widgetname". Functions gtk.settings_get_default gtk.settings_get_default Returns : the singleton gtk.Settings object The gtk.settings_get_default function returns the singleton gtk.Settings object. gtk.settings_get_for_screen gtk.settings_get_for_screen screen screen : a gtk.gdk.Screen object Returns : a gtk.Settings object This function is available in PyGTK 2.2 and above. The gtk.settings_get_for_screen() function returns the singleton gtk.Settings object for the gtk.gdk.Screen specified by screen.
