+
+ <para>
+ Since version 2.6, GTK+ provides the <link linkend="GtkIconView">GtkAboutDialog</link>
+ widget as a replacement for the GnomeAbout dialog in the libgnomeui library.
+ views.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <link linkend="GtkIconView">GtkAboutDialog</link> supports all features found in
+ GnomeAbout. The GtkAboutDialog API is bigger, since it follows the GTK+ policy to
+ have getters and setters for all widget properties, but it isn't much more complex
+ than GnomeAbout.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To convert an application that uses GnomeAbout to <link linkend="GtkIconView">GtkAboutDialog</link>,
+ as a first step, replace calls like
+ <informalexample><programlisting>
+ const gchar *documentors[] = {
+ "Documenter 1",
+ "Documenter 2",
+ NULL
+ };
+
+ const gchar *documentors[] = {
+ "Author 1",
+ "Author 2",
+ NULL
+ };
+
+ GtkWidget *about = gnome_about_new ("GNOME Test Program", VERSION,
+ "(C) 1998-2001 The Free Software Foundation",
+ "Program to display GNOME functions.",
+ authors,
+ documenters,
+ _("translator-credits"),
+ "logo.png");
+ </programlisting></informalexample>
+ by something like
+ <informalexample><programlisting>
+ GdkPixbuf *logo = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ("logo.png", NULL);
+ GtkWidget *about = g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_ABOUT_DIALOG,
+ "name", "GNOME Test Program",
+ "version", VERSION,
+ "copyright", "(C) 1998-2001 The Free Software Foundation",
+ "comments", "Program to display GNOME functions.",
+ "authors", authors,
+ "documenters", documenters,
+ "translator-credits", _("translator-credits"),
+ "logo", logo,
+ NULL);
+ g_object_unref (pixbuf);
+ </programlisting></informalexample>
+ If the <link linkend="g-object-new"><function>g_object_new()</function></link> construction scares you,
+ you can also use <link linkend="g-object-new"><function>gtk_about_dialog_new()</function></link> to
+ construct the dialog and then use the setters for the individual properties.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once you are done with the initial conversion, you may want to look into using some of the
+ features of <link linkend="GtkIconView">GtkAboutDialog</link> which are not present in GnomeAbout.
+ <itemizedlist>
