Developing and debugging UIs can be a pain. When something
|
|
goes wrong, it's not always obvious why. You can waste hours
|
|
writing logging statements only to find out that a widget is
|
|
in the wrong container, or an attribute wasn't set correctly.
|
|
|
|
Developing isn't much better either. Ever spend time writing
|
|
temporary code just to test a new feature, code you know you're
|
|
going to throw away in an hour, and yet you end up spending the
|
|
next 20 minutes debugging your temporary code? Sucks, doesn't
|
|
it?
|
|
|
|
What your program really needs is a good Parasite infestation.
|
|
|
|
Parasite is a debugging and development tool that runs inside
|
|
your GTK+ application's process. It can inspect your application,
|
|
giving you detailed information on your UI, such as the hierarchy,
|
|
X window IDs, widget properties, and more. You can modify properties
|
|
on the fly in order to experiment with the look of your UI.
