Glade
|
The new and rewritten version of Glade has taken the streets!
Get it at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.0/.
NOTE - Glade 3.0 Requires GTK+ 2.8 and libxml2, Glade 3.0 will expose properties, signals and widgets from GTK+ 2.8, remember that you need an up to date version of GTK+ to support those widgets.
Here is an overview of the changes made since the last development snapshot:
* DevHelp integration for a contextual help system
* GnomeUI and GnomeCanvas plugin (Juan Pablo Ugarte)
* New "Editor skeleton" provided by the core to ease the plugin's creation

Gazpacho is a pygtk application that let you design the Graphical User
Interface of your GTK+ programms. It's goal is to be 100% libglade
compatible.

Glade is a User Interface Builder for GTK+ and GNOME.
This is the first beta release on the way towards 2.6.0.
NOTE - you need GTK+ 2.4, and GNOME 2.5.x if you want GNOME support.
Also note that interfaces created with Glade 2.5.0 will need GTK+ 2.4/GNOME
2.6.
So if you want your app to work on GTK+ 2.2/GNOME 2.4 platforms, stick
with Glade 2.0.1.

The beauty of pyGTK and Glade is they have opened up cross-platform, professional-quality GUI development to those of us who'd rather be doing other things but who still need a GUI on top of it all. Not only does pyGTK allow neophytes to create great GUIs, it also allows professionals to create flexible, dynamic and powerful user interfaces faster than ever before. If you've ever wanted to create a quick user interface that looks good without a lot of work, and you don't have any GUI experience, read on.

Rikke D. Giles has written a new tutorial for Glade 2.
Glade is a program designed to enable the quick building of graphical user interfaces for GTK+ and Gnome applications. However, it can be used with any desktop environment in linux, as long as the gtk+ and/or gnome libaries are installed.
|
Glade 2.0 is almost ready! You can download the latest beta from
here.
Please report any bugs you find on
bugzilla.gnome.org, under the 'Glade' product.
PS. If you want to convert an old Glade project to the new Glade 2 format,
there is a python conversion script included with
libglade.

I have just released libglade 2.0.0, available here.
This is the first stable release targetted at GTK 2.0, and is part of
the upcomming GNOME 2.0 developer platform. There are not many changes
between this release and the previous one (1.99.12). The main one is
some updates to the documentation (some of the gtk-doc stuff got broken
when I was updating things a while back).

I've put a tarball of Glade 1.1.0 up
here
Glade is a GUI Builder. This release is for GTK+ 2 and GNOME 2.
This is a beta release, so there may be a few nasty bugs left.
Please test it & report bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org.

Another minor bug-fix release for the stable GTK+ 1.2/GNOME 1.4 platform.
A beta version for GTK+ 2/GNOME 2 will be available soon.

Rikke D. Giles, from the Kitsap Peninsula Linux User's Group, has written
another
Glade Tutorial. This one has nice descriptions of all the widgets in the
palette and lots of other useful stuff. Definitely worth a look.

Robert Laing has written a tutorial on writing Gnome apps with Glade and Python. He writes:If you've ever set out to learn programing hoping to dive straight into writing an ambitious application but then got scared off by all the hard ground that needed to be covered first, developing Gnome Apps using Glade and Python is for you. We'll have a fully fledged application window up faster than most programming tutorials can print "Hello World!" on a command line.
