Description Vincent Untz 2011-02-02 10:19:37 UTC 
Various people might need to do:

 gtk_symbolic_color_new_shade (c1, 1.3);
or
 gtk_symbolic_color_new_shade (c1, 0.7);

to get lighter/darker colors, and do it in the same way as GTK+.

Could we have some #define for this?

Hmm, I don't think there's anything special about these numbers. In fact, grepping through gtk, we shade colors by other values as well. I see
0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.93, 1.05, 1.3, 1.8, ...
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2011-02-05 15:08:44 UTC 
Well, we can of course use any value, but I would expect having a small set of defines would help with overall consistency, especially when people implement new widgets for their app, or do some custrom drawing.

GtkSymbolicColor has been deprecated
