For those of you who have never heard of it, a GtkAboutDialog is a convience GtkDialog to display application credits. However, the documentation<\/a> (archive at 2008-08-17<\/a>) for it does not specify a way to change the application’s name, and as a result ends up using the script name for the application, which is very ugly and unprofessional.<\/p>\n

To change the application name, use the undocumented function GtkAboutDialog::set_name() to change the name. Here is an example:<\/p>\n


\n<?php
\n$dialog <\/span>=\u00a0new <\/span>GtkAboutDialog<\/span>();
