Theme-D-Gnome Software Library

Introduction

Theme-D-Gnome is a software library that allows using the GNOME user interface libraries in Theme-D. The library is bases to the guile wrapper library guile-gnome2 . Only a subset of the GTK library has been currently checked to work with Theme-D-Gnome.

Hello, World with Theme-D-Gnome

      (define-proper-program (gnome-examples hello)
      
        (import (standard-library core)
                (gnome gobject)
                (gnome gtk))

        (define-simple-proc main (() <none> nonpure)
          (let ((window (gtk-window-create 'toplevel))
                (button (gtk-button-create-with-label "Hello, World!")))
            (set-border-width window 10)
            (add window button)
            (connect
              button 'clicked
              (lambda (((args (rest <object>))) <object> nonpure)
                (gtk-main-quit)
                null))
            (show-all window)
            (gtk-main))))

Requirements

You must have the following software installed to use Theme-D-Gnome:

Guile 2.2. Theme-D-Gnome versions before and including 0.7.3-1 use Guile 2.0. It is possible to build the newer releases of Theme-D-Gnome for Guile 2.0, though.
Theme-D. Theme-D-Gnome 0.9.0-1 requires Theme-D 1.4.1. This release of Theme-D-Gnome may not work with newer Theme-D versions in which case a new version of Theme-D-Gnome shall be released.
guile-gnome2 version 2.16.2, 2.16.4, or 2.16.5.
GNU make
