In case of stock icons (eg those "next", "previous", and so on) the mirroring should be done transparently; that is, the right stock icon should be used depending if the interface is on LTR or RTL mode; without any need for the programer to do anything in his program. That is the goal of stock icons after all: make things easier. If it's not yet done like that, it should be. > Just a thought. Any suggestions? For other cases, the programmer should be told about the problem; and do something like: if (gtk_widget_get_default_direction() == GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL) /* here use the rtl icon */ else /* here use the default ltr icon */ -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.stben.be/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
