If you are not in a Wayland session, around 625 tests will fail. Under a Wayland session, the number decreases to around 25. If you are in a Wayland session and wish to run the tests, issue: ninja test. Now, as the root user: ninja install Command Explanations -Dbroadway_backend=true: This switch enables the HTML5 GDK backend. : Use this switch if you have libcloudproviders installed and wish to enable support for cloud providers in a file chooser window. : Use this switch if you have installed and wish to enable tracing support for GTK4-based applications. : Use this switch if you have installed and wish to use search functionality when running a file chooser. : Use this switch if you have installed and wish to use colord with the CUPS printing backend. : Use this switch if you have installed and wish to rebuild the themes. : Use this switch if you have installed and wish to generate the API reference documentation. Configuring GTK 4 Config Files ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini and /usr/share/gtk-4.0/settings.ini ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini /usr/share/gtk-4.0/settings.ini Configuration Information GTK 4 themes change the way a GTK 4 application looks. An icon theme can be used to change the icons that appear on the application's toolbar. If you have installed a GTK 4 theme (e.g. the Adwaita theme built in GTK 4), an icon theme (such as ) and/or a font (), you can set your preferences in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini, or the default system-wide configuration file (as the root user), in /usr/share/gtk-4.0/settings.ini. For the local user, an example is: mkdir -pv ~/.config/gtk-4.0 cat > ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini << "EOF" [Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-icon-theme-name = oxygen gtk-font-name = DejaVu Sans 12 gtk-cutsor-theme-size = 18 gtk-xft-antialias = 1 gtk-xft-hinting = 1 gtk-xft-hintstyle = hintslight gtk-xft-rgba = rgb gtk-cursor-theme-name = Adwaita EOF There are many settings keys, some with default values. You can find them at Settings: GTK 4 Reference Manual.

GTK 4 can load and recolor these PNGs, just like original SVGs, but loading them is much faster gtk4-encode-symbolic-svg gtk4-icon-browser is a utility to explore the icons in the current icon theme. It shows icons in various sizes, their symbolic variants when available, as well as a description of the icon and its context gtk4-icon-browser gtk4-launch launches an application using the given name. The name should match the application .desktop file name (as seen in /usr/share/applications), with or without the '.desktop' extension gtk4-launch gtk4-print-editor is a simple program to demonstrate printing using GTK 4 applications gtk4-print-editor gtk4-query-settings provides a complete listing of all settings related to GTK 4 gtk4-query-settings gtk4-update-icon-cache is an icon theme caching utility that creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes gtk4-update-icon-cache libgtk-4.so contains functions that provide an API to implement graphical user interfaces libgtk-4.so
