The enabled state of a GAction now propagates both to any toolbar buttons
and any menu items linked to the action. Toolbar buttons are painted in
a grayed out style when disabled. Menu items are gray when disabled. :^)
Any GWidget can have a tooltip and it will automatically pop up below the
center of the widget when hovered. GActions added to GToolBars will use
the action text() as their tooltip automagically. :^)
This is useful for static locals that never need to be destroyed:
Thing& Thing::the()
{
static Eternal<Thing> the;
return the;
}
The object will be allocated in data segment memory and will never have
its destructor invoked.
In other words, if a surface stretches from the left side of the window
all the way to the right side, skip shading and highlighting the sides.
This makes widgets blend together just slightly with the window. :^)
I want to try an MS Office 97 "CoolBar" inspired look for my toolbars.
This is only the painting support, we still need hover events to implement
the actual effect.
