Granite library

[mirkobrombin]

The Granite library offers a large number of advanced widget features, it might be a good idea to take advantage of it. Many of them might be useful:

• SimpleSettingsPage (offer a section where the user can set various settings such as whether to save the current session)
• Welcome (a start page for the user who shows basic functionality such as Google News or adds a custom rss feed)
• DynamicNotebook (They offer various standard features such as the close button)

Here you can find an example with a demo application and here some components are explained.

I know I'm turning to your worst nightmare 😂

Great idea! Now I can actually add the close button without coding it myself :)

When I try to compile, it returns this error:

/home/.../.../news.c: fatal error: granite.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

[mirkobrombin]

Is granite installed?

[Allen-B1]

Yep, I installed libgranite-dev

When I compile directly with valac it works, but when I use cmake it doesn't.

Mmh try to open an issue on the github page

[Allen-B1]

Ok

[mirkobrombin]

If you open an issue link to this please

[Allen-B1]

Do you think we could get away with using make directly? This project https://github.com/lainsce/notejot doesn't use cmake

[mirkobrombin]

I think yes

[Allen-B1]

Ok, I'll do that

I changed Gtk.Notebook to Granite.Widgets.DynamicNotebook
