LibreWeb-Browser/windows.md

Windows Packaging

The additional files in packaging_win are required for packaging to the Windows platform (after the cross-compile went successfully).

GTK Windows 10 Theme

We ship the Windows binary with the Windows 10 theme. Giving LibreWeb a very native look under Windows. For that we depend on 3rd partt GTK theme.

• Windows 10 theme
• Windows 10 icon set

Those Windows 10 theme/icon files are stored inside the respectively share/themes and share/icons directories.

Native GTK Theme Icons

Icons themes:

• Adwaita (Source: /usr/share/icons/Adwaita Linux Mint 20.x distro)
• hicolor - Used as fallback theme (Source: /usr/share/icons/hicolor Linux Mint 20.x distro)
  • Important: Do not forget to remove all the apps folder contents/icons. This lead to extra size and maybe installation issues due to symbolic links. Therefor run the ./scripts/clean-up-hicolor-icons.sh script. Which removes all apps directories.

Those all the icon themes are stored in the share/icons directory.

Windows GTK Binary files

The following GTK binary files should be shipped together with the libreweb-browser.exe binary.

The files should be placed in the bin directory.

• gdbus.exe / dbus-daemon.exe - Creating a gdbus daemon under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• gspawn-win64-helper.exe - Starting processes under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• gspawn-win64-console.exe - Starting processes under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• And more...

And for debugging purpose:

• gdb.exe - For debugging the binary (source: MinGW)
