public class SymbolicColor

GtkSymbolicColor is a boxed type that represents a symbolic color.

It is the result of parsing a color expression. To obtain the color represented by a GtkSymbolicColor, it has to be resolved with resolve, which replaces all symbolic color references by the colors they refer to (in a given context) and evaluates mix, shade and other expressions, resulting in a RGBA value.

It is not normally necessary to deal directly with SymbolicColors, since they are mostly used behind the scenes by StyleContext and CssProvider .

SymbolicColor is deprecated. Symbolic colors are considered an implementation detail of GTK+.

Creation methods:

public SymbolicColor.alpha (SymbolicColor color, double factor)
Creates a symbolic color by modifying the relative alpha value of color.
public SymbolicColor.literal (RGBA color)
Creates a symbolic color pointing to a literal color.
public SymbolicColor.mix (SymbolicColor color1, SymbolicColor color2, double factor)
Creates a symbolic color defined as a mix of another two colors.
public SymbolicColor.name (string name)
Creates a symbolic color pointing to an unresolved named color.
public SymbolicColor.shade (SymbolicColor color, double factor)
Creates a symbolic color defined as a shade of another color.
public SymbolicColor.win32 (string theme_class, int id)
Creates a symbolic color based on the current win32 theme.

Methods:

public unowned SymbolicColor @ref ()
Increases the reference count of this
public bool resolve (StyleProperties? props, out RGBA resolved_color)
If this is resolvable, resolved_color will be filled in with the resolved color, and true will be returned.
public string to_string ()
Converts the given this to a string representation.
public void unref ()
Decreases the reference count of this, freeing its memory if the reference count reaches 0.
