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.
