By default, the name of the widget is the name of the class of the element, downcased (except top level interfaces on GTK+, see the GTK+ specific part). You can override the name by either passing
widget-name
when making the element, or by calling
(setf element-widget-name)
before displaying the element.
To make it easier to define resources specific to the application, the CAPI GTK+ library, when using the default name, prepends the
application-class
(see
convert-to-screen
) followed by a dot. So for an interface of class
my-interface
which is displayed in a screen with
application-class
"my-application"
, the default
widget-name
is:
my-application.my-interface
Example GTK+ resource files are in
