It might be lack of sleep, but I can't figure this out.
I have a Label
, and I want its text to be red when it represents an error, and I want it be green when it represent "good to go".
I found search result for C
and maybe a solution for Python
, but nothing for Rust
.
I tried manually setting the css-classes
property and running queue_draw()
; it didn't work.
I can have a gtk::Box
or a Frame
that I place where the Label
should go, then declare two Label
s, and use set_child()
to switch between them, but that seems like an ugly solution.
Do you have a solution?
SOLVED:
I have to add a "." before declaring a CSS "thing" for it to be considered a class.
Ex:
.overlay {
background: rgba(60, 60, 60, 1);
font-size: 25px;
}
instead of:
overlay {
background: rgba(60, 60, 60, 1);
font-size: 25px;)
}
Just use label.add_css_class(), label.remove_css_class() or label.set_css_classes() and make sure to properly load your CSS style sheets,

Just use
label.add_css_class()
,label.remove_css_class()
orlabel.set_css_classes()
and make sure to properly load your CSS style sheets, this is usually done by including them as a resource alongside .ui files and icons. If you are using libadwaita, you can also use its predefined style classes.full example (requires nightly toolchain)
This is embarrassing, but when was it not?
I have to add a "." before the name of a
css
class, I must learn my tools.I mean, it is not embarrassing for you. In the browser, the CSS's "native platform", you add classes, via the JavaScript API, without the dot. It's not a stupid assumption.
To have to add the dot in the CSS class name seems a bit of an oversight in the gtkrs API.
(sorry for the late response, I have to get in the habit of checking my Lemmy account)
No, I get that - a stylesheet denotes a class by having a dot. A JavaScript API for adding a CSS class omits this redundancy.
I was saying that the author might not be wrong to want to avoid the redundancy in rust example as well (since it explicitly mentions CSS classes).
