Custom CSS in GtkBuilder XML

["lukas middelberg-bi net" <lukas middelberg-bi net>]

Hi!

Using GtkBuilder XML, you can currently only add Styling Information like so:

<object class="Foo">
    <style>
        <class name="predefined-class" />
    </style>
</object>

So (please correct me if I'm wrong) CSS cannot be added without actions outside of this XML File. You always have to create a GtkCssProvider and add it to the widget's GtkStyleContext in your programming code.

Wouldn't it be more consistent to allow something like this:

<object class="Foo">
    <style>
        <provider path="path-to.css" />
        <class name="mycustomclass" />
    </style>
</object>

This would separate the GUI and the actual programming Logic way better and thus make building GUIs with tools like Glade easier.

Cheers,
Lukas
