Problem In the article How to use stock images for buttons? you have created buttons using pre-defined stock images. However, you would like to change some of these labels to your own as shown below:
Solution We make use of the technique as described in How to display button with image?
- Create a standard GtkButton.
- Create a standard GtkHBox and stuff it inside the button.
- Instead of a standard image file, we load a pre-defined stock image using GtkImage::new_from_stock().
- Pack the image in the hbox.
- Create the button label with GtkLabel and pack it inside the hbox too.
You now have a button with stock image on the left and label on the right.

$window = new GtkWindow();

$window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit'));
$window->add($vbox = new GtkVBox());
// display title
$title = new GtkLabel("Using Stock Images but with different labels\n".
"Part 1 - using hbox");
$title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10"));
$title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff"));
$title->set_size_request(-1, 40);
$title->set_justify(Gtk::JUSTIFY_CENTER);
$alignment = new GtkAlignment(0.5, 0, 0, 0);
$alignment->add($title);
$vbox->pack_start($alignment, 0, 0);
$vbox->pack_start(new GtkLabel(), 0, 0);
// setup button
$vbox->pack_start($hbox = new GtkHBox(), 0);

return GtkButton::new_from_stock($stock_id); // note 1
