pers :

an object implementing the BrowserPerspective interface

Returns :

the BrowserWindow perspective is in. [transfer none]

GtkActionGroup *    browser_perspective_get_actions_group
                                                        (BrowserPerspective *perspective);

Get the GtkActionGroup from a pers to represent its specific actions.

pers :

an object implementing the BrowserPerspective interface

Returns :

a new GtkActionGroup

browser_perspective_get_actions_ui ()

const gchar *       browser_perspective_get_actions_ui  (BrowserPerspective *perspective);

Get the UI definition from a perspective to represent how its specific actions (obtained using browser_perspective_get_actions_group()) are to be integrated in a BrowserWindow's menu and toolbar.

pers :

an object implementing the BrowserPerspective interface

Returns :

a read-only string

browser_perspective_get_current_customization ()

void                browser_perspective_get_current_customization

Rem: *out_agroup is a new object and should be unref'ed when not needed anymore

pers :

an object implementing the BrowserPerspective interface

out_agroup :

out_ui :

a place to store the returned UI string, not NULL. [transfer none]

browser_perspective_page_tab_label_change ()

void                browser_perspective_page_tab_label_change

an object implementing the BrowserPerspective interface

page :

an object implementing the BrowserPage interface
