I want to implement something similar to the ubuntu software center's tabs.

enter image description here

What widget is it?

Any working example in python where I could take a look?

Is this widget available in Glade?

Thanks in advance.

It's a Gtk.Toolbar, see /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/panes/globalpane.py for how it is created.

Will take it a look and I'd be back – Hernantz Jun 23 '12 at 17:28
    
Ok it is a Gtk.Toolbar, and the tabs are buttons. Now, I know this would be out of scope for this question but, I cant find how to set the visual active state for those buttons... – Hernantz Jun 23 '12 at 21:25
    
The buttons are instances of a subclass of Gtk.ToggleButton so you can use set_active(is_active) where is_active is a bool – Florian Diesch Jun 23 '12 at 22:14
    
thanks, actually a toolbar can have many different buttons so, I added a ToggleButton. They look different though, maybe the have some styling hack there. – Hernantz Jun 23 '12 at 23:52
    
They have their own drawing methods, see the class SectionSelector in /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/bu‌​ttons.py – Florian Diesch Jun 24 '12 at 23:34
