Detailed Description
sugar.graphics.toolbar module consists of 2 widgets:
- Toolbar main widget which represents toolbar itself
- ToolbarButton tool button to insert to Toolbar, which could be expanded to sub-widget
NOTE: Toolbar was designed to have only one level of sub-widgets.
Toolbar
sugar.graphics.toolbar.Toolbar extends gtk.VBox:
- top property to access to gtk.Toolbar interface
- padding horizontal padding to top toolbar and all sub-widgets
- modify_bg to modify background color of toolbar itself and all sub-widgets
ToolbarButton
sugar.graphics.toolbar.ToolbarButton extends sugar.graphics.toolbutton.ToolButton:
- toolbar RO property, if parent of button is sugar.graphics.toolbar.Toolbar
- page RW GObject property, sub-widget to expand
- expanded RW property, if page expanded
If sugar.graphics.toolbar.Toolbar.palette property wasn't set manually it will contain palette with page.
Example
from sugar.graphics.toolbar import Toolbar, ToolbarButton
toolbar = Toolbar()
tollbarbutton_1 = ToolbarButton(
page=gtk.Button('sub-widget #1'),
icon_name='computer-xo')
toolbar.top.insert(tollbarbutton_1, -1)
tollbarbutton_2 = ToolbarButton(
page=gtk.Button('sub-widget #2'),
icon_name='button_cancel',
tooltip='with custom palette instead of sub-widget')
toolbar.top.insert(tollbarbutton_2, -1)
Benefit to Sugar
Make process of switching between toolbars more clear, use tool buttons that are showing all time(in main toolbar) i.e. having Close/Help buttons visible all time could be very useful.
