## Developing GTK3 Applications
## Developing GTK4 Applications
Here we will document on how to develop GTK3 application UI in python. First we want to setup
an example code base to look into. In this case gnome-music.
## Setup gnome-music as code reference
gnome-music does not use glade
Clone gnome-music and check out the tag v40.0
[gnome-music](https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-music/tree/40.0)
## Demos
Adw has a demo application showing all widgets. You can run it by executing:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:GNOME/gnome-music.git && cd gnome-music && git checkout 40.0
adwaita-1-demo
```
GTK4 has a demo application showing all widgets. You can run it by executing:
```bash
gtk4-widget-factory
```
Checkout nixpkgs version `468cb5980b56d348979488a74a9b5de638400160` for the correct gnome-music devshell then execute:
```bash
nix develop /home/username/Projects/nixpkgs#gnome.gnome-music
```
Look into the file `gnome-music.in` which bootstraps the application.
## Setup gnu-cash as reference
Gnucash uses glade with complex UI
Setup gnucash
```bash
git clone git@github.com:Gnucash/gnucash.git
git checkout ed4921271c863c7f6e0c800e206b25ac6e9ba4da
cd nixpkgs
git checkout 015739d7bffa7da4e923978040a2f7cba6af3270
nix develop /home/username/Projects/nixpkgs#gnucash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cd ..
make
```
- The use the GTK Builder instead of templates.
## Look into virt-manager it uses python + spice-gtk
Look into `virtManager/details/viewers.py` to see how spice-gtk is being used
```bash
git clone https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager
```
### Glade
Make sure to check the 'composit' box in glade in the GtkApplicationWindow to be able to
import the glade file through GTK template

## Debugging Style and Layout
You can append `--debug` flag to enable debug logging printed into the console.
```bash
# Enable the debugger
# Enable the GTK debugger
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true
# Start the application with the debugger attached
GTK_DEBUG=interactive ./bin/clan-vm-manager
GTK_DEBUG=interactive ./bin/clan-vm-manager --debug
```
