General Information

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user interfaces

for the GTK+ 3 toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment. 

The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML and these can be loaded

by applications dynamically as needed by using GtkBuilder or used directly to

define a new GtkWidget derived object class using Gtk+ new template feature.

By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous programming 

languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, Python,and others. 

About Glade

~~~~~~~~~~~

This version of Glade (Glade >= 3.10) targets GTK+ >= 3.0 and is parallel

installable with Glade 3.8.

If you need to work with Glade projects that target GTK+2, you need an

installation of Glade 3.8 (more information on http://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2011/01/15/the-glade-dl/)

License

~~~~~~~

Glade is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), as described

in the COPYING file.

Requirements

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 o GTK+ 3.10.0 or above - http://www.gtk.org

   You also need the glib, pango and atk libraries.

   Make sure you have the devel packages as well, as these will contain the

   header files which you will need to compile C applications.

 o libxml 2.4.1 - used to parse the XML files. If you have GNOME 2 you

   should already have this.
