I am trying to create a button in GTK+ that has the shape of a Hexagon. How can I do it without using CSS ? And more general, how can I create my button in any shape I want? Is it possible to do such things in Glade (User interface edior for GTK+)? rsm When I put my comment I was bluffing because I never did the circular button.. I just did an example of an Hexagonal button using my original idea.. I got surprised that it was simpler than I thought! ( and by the way, no, it is not possible to do it in glade! ) # sorry but the example is in Python! :/ from gi.repository import Gtk def hexagon

I am trying to write an app in python to control a motor using serial. This all works in a CLI situation fine and is generally stable. but I was wondering how simple it was to add a GUI on top of this code base? I assume there will be more code, but is there a simple way of detecting something like GTK, so it only applied the code when GTK was present? Also, GUI creation in Python in general: is it best to keep as little GUI specifics out of the code and use something like GTK's XML based approach (using gtk.glade.XML() function)? Are there other GUI toolkits that have a similar approach to

I've created a simple window GUI in Glade 3.6.7 and I am trying to import it into Python.

I just installed the RGtk2 package on a new machine and gladexmlnew seems to be missing (i.e. I get a could not find function gladexmlnew error after loading the RGtk2 package). I have libglade , libglade2 and corresponding -devel packages installed. What am I missing? The help file doesn't seem to help. SOLUTION : I seem to have found the solution, so I am posting it here. Apparently libglade has been deprecated in favour of GTKBuilder and RGtk2 does not include it anymore. This page has some informations on how to migrate from libglade to GTKBuilder . Thanks for the follow-up. I have only
