[Feature Request] Use AdwMessageDialog for 'New NES Project' Dialog

[sungsphinx]

AdwMessageDialog Docs

Currently, the dialog looks pretty weird and clunky:

The furthest I have got with AdwMessageDialog is:

Code to show a basic AdwMessageDialog in main-window.c:

static void
action_new_project_nes (GSimpleAction *simple,
        GVariant *parameter,
        gpointer user_data)
{
    MainWindow *self = MAIN_WINDOW (user_data);
    GtkWidget *dialog;
    //gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW (self->new_project_nes_window), GTK_WINDOW(self));
    //gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (self->new_project_nes_window));

    const char *heading = "New NES Project";
    const char *body = "Body Text";

    dialog = adw_message_dialog_new (GTK_WINDOW(self), heading, body);
    adw_message_dialog_add_responses (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog),
                                          "cancel", ("Cancel"),
                                          "create", ("Create"),
                                          NULL);
    adw_message_dialog_set_response_appearance (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel", ADW_RESPONSE_DESTRUCTIVE);
    //g_signal_connect (dialog, "response", G_CALLBACK (cool_epic_function_here), self);
    gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (dialog));
}

You could use the AdwMessageDialog extra-child property to add things like text boxes, etc.

Also, setting the dialog window as transient / showing over the main window doesn't work:

What it should be like:

It should be centered, move the main window with the dialog & not let you focus the main window while the dialog open.

This is cool! This is fits!

[sungsphinx]

If the dialog has not been set as transient for the main window automatically, you could try:

gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW (dialog_window_here), GTK_WINDOW(application_window_here));

[xverizex]

So, have you them doing? Or I will make this feature?

[sungsphinx]

I am not sure how to implement the functionality or extra-child stuff, so probably not, maybe you could? (obviously no rush of course)

[xverizex]

Of course. I'll take care of it.

[sungsphinx]

Of course. I'll take care of it.

Thanks :+1:

[sungsphinx]

Didn't realise that's how you do it, still learning I guess 😅

With GTK I work not often, but this fix does the problem. I think the window with parameters is don't dialog in the usual sense. And https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.Dialog.html the dialog is deprecated. I decided leave it as it is and add only modal.

[xverizex]

Yes, I know that adw dialog is available, but why the fix window to add dialog if this look identically.
