Hi all,
I've been reading the xml_skin code and the skins .fxd files and it seems
that it is quite possible and not too difficult to change the basic skin
so that when the button bar is active then the skin should reduce the
height of certain parts.
<!-- 4. listing area: the list of all items -->
<listing layout="listing" x="50" y="110" width="510" height="470">
<image x="10" y="110" width="32" height="32" label="uparrow"
filename="up.png"/>
<image x="10" y="max-32" width="32" height="32" label="downarrow"
filename="down.png"/>
</listing>
If my understanding of the code is correct then this menuset can be
changed to:
<listing visible="not buttonbar" layout="listing" x="50" y="110"
width="510" height="470">
<image x="10" y="110" width="32" height="32" label="uparrow"
filename="up.png"/>
<image x="10" y="max-32" width="32" height="32" label="downarrow"
filename="down.png"/>
</listing>
<listing visible="buttonbar" layout="listing" x="50" y="110" width="510"
height="420">
<image x="10" y="110" width="32" height="32" label="uparrow"
filename="up.png"/>
<image x="10" y="max-32" width="32" height="32" label="downarrow"
filename="down.png"/>
</listing>
AFAICS the prepare function in xml_skin.py:324 (not that this function is
very clearly written) sets the visibility on depending on a variable. When
the variable is set then the "listing" should change it's size. The
variable is set when the plugin has the attribute visible. (see
idlebar(__init__.py)
It may be good to define a buttonbar area in the menuset which can then
have it's own visible attribute. Then the plugin can have a skin.register
call. This needs to be tried to see what the impact is.
DISCLAIMER I've not tried this yet, so don't complain if it doesn't work,
but it looks like it should do so. :)
