GTKADA2-DIALOG(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gtkada2-dialog — pop a whole GTK+ dialog box straight onto your screen from the command line, bestie 💅

Like, yes, from the command line. The terminal's glow-up era fr fr.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gtkada2-dialog [dialog_type [justification]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: gtkada2-dialog takes whatever you pipe into its standard input and shows it off inside a GTK+ dialog box. That's it. That's the whole personality. 😌

This is the version that ships with GtkAda version 2, and it's out here using GTK+ 2 widgets — so if you were wondering which era of GTK we're living in, it's very much that one, no cap. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• dialog_type — the type of dialog box you want, bestie. The possible values are, and I'm gonna need you to pick one:
  • warning — a message box with an exclamation point. ⚠️ It's giving "hey girl, heads up".
  • error — a message box with a red stop sign. 🛑 Dramatic, iconic, honestly deserved.
  • information — a message box with an "information" sign: a white "i" on a blue background. ℹ️ Very demure, very mindful.
  • confirmation — a message box with a question mark. ❓ The "are you sure, queen?" of dialog boxes.
  • custom — a message box with no pixmap at all and a caption you define yourself. Main character energy, fully bespoke. 🎨

The default type is information.

• justification — the type of justification you want for the text of the message. The possible values are justify_left, justify_right, justify_center and justify_fill. The default is justify_center. 💫
