GtkAboutDialog
**************

Display information about an application

Overview
========

The <gtk-about-dialog> offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license. It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.

About dialog often contain links and email addresses. <gtk-about-dialog> supports this by offering global hooks, which are called when the user clicks on a link or email address, see gtk-about-dialog-set-email-hook and gtk-about-dialog-set-url-hook. Email addresses in the authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for <user@host>, URLs are recognized by looking for http://url, with url extending to the next space, tab or line break.

To make constructing a <gtk-about-dialog> as convenient as possible, you can use the function gtk-show-about-dialog which constructs and shows a dialog and keeps it around so that it can be shown again.
