change font of gwtbootstrap3 app - gwt

I'm using gwtbootstrap3 for my app and I want to change font of all my app, I want to do something like this:
body{
font-family:tahoma;
}
I tried to customise widget, but I have to do this fo all my widgets and I don't think it's very optimal.
So how can I do that?

This might be one of those infrequent cases where you want to use !important, i.e.:
body{
font-family:tahoma !important;
}
Before you do, however, read When Using !important is the Right Choice.

how to make Zurb Foundation non-responsive?

I have made a website with Foundation-master wordpress theme, it looks good but I dont like how its behaving in other browser widths. Is there a way of making it non-responsive, or fixed to a certain width?
Thanks!
Sometimes it's necessary to deactivate the responsive features. For example if, like it happened to me twice already, a website is launching non-responsive and the optimization for smartphones/tablets is added later.
Foundation is an awesome framework even if you take out the responsiveness. The SCSS files are very well structured it comes with a library of very useful UI elements. It's a great choice for responsive and non-responsive sites if you ask me. Some people might also want to streamline their workflow and not jump between different frameworks depending on the project to keep costs low.
Anyways, here my two cents. This deactivated all responsiveness for me:
.row {
width: 62.5rem;
}
And then in the _settings.scss
$small-range: (0, 90em);
$medium-range: (0, 90em);
$large-range: (0, 90em);
This way we're essentially always seeing the large version. As far as I can tell this even works for top bar etc.
Foundation was built to simply create responsive websites.
Beside of the question why you use this framework if you don't want a responsive webseite, it's only possible if you start removing all the media queries in foundation css and by removing the viewport meta tag.
Maybe you should better invest this time to make your webseite responsive so that it also fits on smaller screens and mobile devices.
Although the question is marked as answered, I just wanted to give you a quick hint to prevent the Foundation 4 grid to act responsive, since we had also to deal with that.
In our case (SASS version) setting the width of the <body> element via css to the specific width of the grid and reducing the breakpoint in the SASS variable $small-screen to 1px worked fine.
Try to add a min-width in the body attributes like this:
html,
body {
font-size: 100%;
min-width: <value A>;
max-width: <value A>;
width: 100%;
}
(foundation.css)

Adding icons to an button in gwt

i have button and want to set an icon to it along with the text inside it. their is no property to add icon to button like in smartGwt .. any idea how to achieve it please help.
There are many ways of achieving this.
Way 1 : Easy way
Just set the background image via code.
myButton.getElement().getStyle().setBackgroundImage("path");
Way 2: Another easy way
Set your own html
myButton.setHtml("Pass the html string");
Way 3: Easy but gives more control
myButton.addStylename("buttonStyle")
Use css to style this
.buttonStyle{
color : red;
}
Way 4: Best way according to me
Create your own split button wrapping it around a flowpanel or horizontalPanel, with image as your first widget and button as your another widget. This gives you additional control on image and as well as button. You can have your click handler on image as well as button and you can style each one of them individually.
This is how I achieved setting an icon in my get:button.
Add an extra style class hook, mine below is btn-fa-group to your gwt button. If you use the attribute 'addStyleNames' you can define them in your stylesheet and have multiple classes.
<g:Button text=" Post Your Answer" enabled="false" ui:field="showPostButton" addStyleNames="btn btn-default btn-fa-group" />
Now in your CSS define the following declaration:
btn-fa-group:before {
color: #333333;
content: "\f0c0";
display: inline-block;
font-family: "fontawesome";
}
Some important things to note; don't forget the before selector, make sure the unicode starts with a slash and have fontAwesome installed. Alternatively you can use another glyph icon if you have the font installed.
You can set innerhtml with image in button i.e.
Button button=new Button("<image src='abc.jpg' width='200px' height='300px' />Ok");
Button bt = new Button();
bt.getElement().getStyle().setBackgroundImage("url('path/to/ur/image/imagename.extention')");
also set size of background image wrt to the size of button
bt.getElement().getStyle().setProperty("backgroundSize","30px");
Add a Css Class to your Button is probalby the best solution.
button.addStyleName("ButtonIcon");
How to define the CSS and HTML you can read here.
Yes ,you can .Gwt have a SmartGwt type button called push buttopn
com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.PushButton
You can pass Image object to it as below
Image image = new Image(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "/images/search-arrow.png");
RootPanel.get().add(new PushButton(image));

Twitter Widget ignoring font-size css on iPhone

My website uses the Twitter widget to grab tweet and uses the "twtr-tweet-text" class to change the font family and size.
Unfortunately, on my iPhone (not on iPad) it seems to ignore the font size completely which causes it to overlap my footer. Looking closer it seems that the font-size is right for the 'reply retweet favourite' section but not for the actual tweet.
http://jshjohnson.com
How would I go about stopping this happening?
Thanks
The twitter widget has code that is setting the font-size in the linked widgit.css. I don't know if you have access to change to CSS within that file, but you can get more specific than the widget.css by targeting the div with your own style. You may have an ugly css rule but it's a quick and dirty fix.
If you can target this more specifically than the widget.css the rule should be applied. The following might work, if I'm targeting the text you had in mind.
div.twtr-tweet-wrap p {
font-size: .75em; /* set whatever font size you want */
...
}
Anyway you have the idea, just find the div you want and get specific. You could check to see what the twitter css is doing here. If you really wanted you could try and match the rule and set the font-size to inherit, so only one font-size rule would have the specific size, to ease future adjustments.

Custom skin for facebook like button

Is there an (easy) way to customise the look of the facebook like button implemented via fbml?
I am pretty sure I saw this somewhere, but I cant remember where and I cant find any documentation on this.
You don't need to make these illegal hacking. Just use the "Open Graph": https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/likes/. The downside is you need to create an app.
Are you guys lawyers or programmers? the question was HOW not '...to do or not to do...'.
#pixelistik button can be inserted either via script tag or iframe and of course you can use css with iframe just via JS, easy peasy.
#skrat good point!
#Slavic what service exactly? I call it half-service because you can like only - no place for criticism so... your criticism is not proper. Like our posts! :P
generally: if you create custom button and you didn't sign to any t&c or something like that you can do whatever you want on YOUR webpage.
Although it may not even be legal to do so (check the terms and policies for yourself), you could do something like:
/* Like button main text color */
div.like span.connect_widget_text {color:#fff;}
div.like div.connect_widget_confirmation {color:#fff;}
div.like span.connect_widget_text a {color:#ffc6ff;}
This link shows some mild styling options:
http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=236534
Easy peasy:
Simply set the opacity (filter for ie) to 0 and put the iframes over an image or div with a bg image. For bigger buttons simply load in multiple like buttons, don't load in too many this will make your page unbearable slow.
Hiya, you can do it with some smart CSS - http://www.esrun.co.uk/blog/disguising-a-facebook-like-link/
Although the legality of such edits is under question, I just wanted to share my findings on this subject.
I right clicked on a FB Like button in Firefox, and inspected the element with firebug. The readout of the class elements is:
.connect_widget_like_button .liketext {
background: url(http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v1/y7/r/ql9vukDCc4R.png) -1px -33px no-repeat;
background-image: url(http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v1/y7/r/ql9vukDCc4R.png);
background-repeat-x: no-repeat;
background-repeat-y: no-repeat;
background-attachment: initial;
background-position-x: -1px;
background-position-y: -33px;
background-origin: initial;
background-clip: initial;
background-color: initial;
}
This exists on line 172 of like.php
One company I know of that does use a custom like graphic is Disqus, however their button is a multi-functional element that offers you a choice between facebook & twitter onClick, which may be how they were able to customize it to their needs.

gtk_widget_override_background_color()
This the GTK 3.x+ way (until GTK 3.16). From
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-modify-base
"gtk_widget_modify_base has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_widget_override_background_color() instead"
UPDATE: thegtknerd notes that this method too is now deprecated and it has been since 3.16.
gtk_widget_modify_base()
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-modify-base
As of gtk3, I believe the proper way to do that is through CSS. Register a gtk style sheet though GtkCssProvider, then you can write this CSS:
textview text {
background-color: #theme_bg_color;
}
We can see the relevant CSS nodes in the documentation for GtkTextView. In this case I put #theme_bg_color which is an adwaita CSS variable, but you can as well put anything that goes in a usual CSS file, like red or #ff0000.
