AdwApplication handles library initialization by calling [func@init] in the
default [signal@Gio.Application::startup] signal handler, in turn chaining up
as required by [class@Gtk.Application]. Therefore, any subclass of
AdwApplication should always chain up its startup handler before using
any Adwaita or GTK API.
AdwApplication will automatically load stylesheets located in the
application's resource base path (see
[method@Gio.Application.set_resource_base_path], if they're present.
They can be used to add custom styles to the application, as follows:
- style.css contains styles that are always present.
- style-dark.css contains styles only used when
[property@StyleManager:dark] is TRUE.
- style-hc.css contains styles used when the system high contrast
preference is enabled.
- style-hc-dark.css contains styles used when the system high contrast
preference is enabled and [property@StyleManager:dark] is TRUE.
A base class for Adwaita applications.
