Re: Toolbar buttons

["B.Hakvoort" <bart hakvoort be>]

Hi,

well, a quick and dirty solution would be creating an image from a
stockitem with a certain size and then create the toolbutton using this
image. Code could look like this:

Gtk::Image *image = manage( new Gtk::Image( Gtk::Stock::GOTO_LAST,
Gtk::ICON_SIZE_BUTTON ) );

Gtk::ToolButtin	*toolbutton = Gtk::manage(new Gtk::ToolButton( *image,
"some text" ));

this should work, but i guess there is a more efficient way to create
toolbuttons with a static size from stock.

However.. i'm still not convinced if it's a good idea to override
theme-settings.

cheers,

plors
