<h2>gmusicbrowser - layout documentation</h2>
<i>(the syntax is evolving, but I try to support backward compatibility)</i><br>
Updated on 08-07-2008 : added the forgotten Button widget, and the stock option that can be used by buttons widget<br>
Updated on 06-07-2008 : added the forgotten markup option for labels widget, and the %-letters section<br>
Updated on 06-05-2008 for gmusicbrowser v0.964<br>
<br>
Gmusicbrowser's interface is defined by layouts.<br>
Layouts are found in 2 places:
<ul>
<li>the default layouts installed with gmusicbrowser are in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts when installed</li>
<li>custom layouts can be added by placing them in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts (or ~/.gmusicbrowser/layouts if you have started using gmusicbrowser before v0.963), which can be either a file or a folder containing multiple .layout files (read in alphabetical order)</li>
</ul>
layout file format :<br>
<p class=code><code><br>
[layout id]<br>
key1 = value<br>
key2 = value<br>
...<br>
</code></p>
<i>As of version 0.962, layouts file can contain group and column definition for the SongTree widget. See the <a href="http://gmusicbrowser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=customization:songtree">SongTree documentation</a> for details.</i><br>
<br>
long lines can be be splitted in multiple lines by ending them with a backslash<br>
<br>
<i>Very</i> simple example, with 3 buttons (settings, play/pause, and open browser window) and the current song title :<br>
<p class=code><code><br>
[very simple]<br>
Type = G<br>
HBox = Pref Play Playlist _Title<br>
</code></p>
Type=G (G for generic) is used to make it appear in the player layouts list in the settings dialog. The _ before Title is used to make the Title use all the available space in the horizontal box (HBox) it is packed in.<br>
<br>
Look in the layout file for more examples.<br>
<br>
Keys define either containers or properties.<br>
Keys are unique for a layout, duplicate key definitions replace the previous one.<br>
There are currently 6 properties keys (Type, Name, Default, Title, KeyBindings, ExtraWidgets) which I'll describe later.<br>
If the name of the key begins with one of : HB,VB,HP,VP,MB,EB,TB the key is the name of a container that will contain widgets (also called layout elements or controls) or other containers<br>
For containers the value is a list of widgets and containers, separated by a space, preceded by optional packing options, the widget names can be followed by a number(to have multiple widgets of the same name) and its options between parentheses<br>
<br>
There must be one, and only one, container which has no parent, this container will be put in the layout window.<br>
<br>
<h3>Normal containers</h3>
Containers options can be specified in parenthesis before the child widgets list, example : <code>HBname = (option1=value1,option2=value2) widget1 widget2</code>, all containers accept the option border, that specify the amount of padding around the container.
<dl>
<dt><b>HB/VB</b> : Horizontal/Vertical Boxes (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkBox.html>GtkBox</a>)</dt><dd>
optional packing options are : (they must be in this order)
<ul>
<li>number : padding (in pixels)</li>
<li>_ : expand (the widget will use all remaining space in the container)</li>
<li>- : right aligned</li>
</ul>
example : <code>HBname = 2_-widget1(opt1=val,opt2=val) -widget2 2container3</code><br>
Cover and ArtistPic widgets are treated specially, they ignore the expand mode, and expand until they reach a square size. example : in a HBox which has a height of 30, a Cover widget will use available space to expand if it has a width less than 30.<br>
</dd>
<dt><b>HP/VP</b> : Horizontal/Vertical Panes (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkPaned.html>GtkPaned</a>)</dt><dd>
Same as HB/VB but they contain only 2 widgets<br>
And they only have one packing options : _ : expand<br>
</dd>
<dt><b>TB</b> : Notebook (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkNotebook.html>GtkNotebook</a>)</dt><dd>
each widget is in a tab, no packing options but the syntax is a bit different, each widget is preceded by the tab title<br>
the title can have spaces by using quotes<br>
example : <code>TBname = title1 widget1(options) "title with spaces" widget2(options) title3 container3</code>
</dd>
<dt><b>EB</b> : Expander (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkExpander.html>GtkExpander</a>)</dt><dd>
contains only one widget/container which can be showed/hidden<br>
option : label : text for the optional widget
syntax : <code>EBname = (label="optional label") widget1</code><br>
or : <code>EBname = widget1</code><br>
</dd>
<dt><b>FB</b> : Fixed (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFixed.html>GtkFixed</a>)</dt><dd>
Each widget is positionned at precise coordinates<br>
syntax : <code>FBname = x1,y1 widget1 x2,y2,w2,h2 widget2 ...</code><br>
The widget is positioned at the x,y coordinate.<br>An optional width and height can follow the coordinates, to specify how much space the widget should use. An height or width of 0 means leave it as default.<br>x,y,w,h can be relative to the width/height of the container by preceding the number with '.'<br>x,y can be relative to the right/bottom border by prefixing it with '-'.
</dd>
<dt><b>MB</b> : Menus</dt><dd>They can contain only MenuItem widgets or SM containers, no packing options</dd>
<dt><b>SM</b> : Submenu</dt><dd>
They can contain only MenuItem widgets or SM containers, no packing options, label is set with the label container option
</dd>
<dt><b>FR</b> : Frame (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFrame.html>GtkFrame</a>)</dt><dd>
Draw a border around its child, with an optional label.<br>
<table>
<tr><td>shadow</td> <td>none, in, out, etched-in (default), etched-out</td></tr>
<tr><td>label</td> <td>text of the label</td></tr>
</table>
</dd>
<dt><b>SB</b> : Scrolled window (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkScrolledWindow.html>GtkScrolledWindow</a>)</dt><dd>
Adds scrollbars to its child.<br>
</dd>
<dt><b>AB</b> : Alignment (based on <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkAlignment.html>GtkAlignment</a>)</dt><dd>
Controls the alignment and size of its child<br>
options :
<table>
<tr><td>xalign</td> <td>Horizontal position of child in available space, value between 0(left) and 1(right), default to .5 (center)</td></tr>
<tr><td>yalign</td> <td>Vertical position of child in available space, value between 0(top) and 1(bottom), default to .5 (center)</td></tr>
<tr><td>xscale</td> <td>If available horizontal space is bigger than needed for the child, how much of it to use for the child. 0.0 means none, 1.0 means all (default :1)</td></tr>
<tr><td>yscale</td> <td>If available vertical space is bigger than needed for the child, how much of it to use for the child. 0.0 means none, 1.0 means all (default :1)</td></tr>
</table>
</dd>
</dl>
<h3>Special containers</h3>
There is also 2 special containers, widgets in these containers must belong to a normal container, and as the widget is defined elsewhere, widgets options can not be set here.<br>
<dl>
<dt><b>HSize/VSize</b> : Size groups (see <a href=http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkSizeGroup.html>GtkSizeGroup</a>)</dt><dd>Force all widgets to have the same Horizontal/Vertical size, if the list of widgets begin with a number, the first widget Horizontal/Vertical size will be set to this number (in pixels)<br>
example : <code>HSize0 = 20 widget1 widget2</code> or <code>HSize1 = widget1 widget2</code>
</dd>
<dt><b>VolumeScroll</b> :</dt><dd>A unique virtual container (must be the exact name), for all widgets inside, the scroll wheel will modify the volume (unless the scroll event is intercepted, like in a scrollable list)
</dd>
</dl>
<h3>Properties keys</h3>
<dl>
<dt><b>Title</b> :</dt><dd>Set a title for the window instead of the default : songtitle by artist ('%S by %a') (see <a href="#songvar">%-letters</a>)<br>
<code>Title = gmusicbrowser playing %S by %a from %l</code>
</dd>
<dt><b>Type</b> :</dt><dd>A String of letters defining the type(s) of a layout, possible types : B(Browser window), T(Tray window), G(Generic or player window), F(Fullscreen), S(Search), P(Page for use in TabbedLists <i>experimental</i>)</dd>
<dt><b>Name</b> :</dt><dd>Set the name of the layout displayed in the settings dialog. The default name is the layout id. Contrary to the layout id, the Name can be changed without losing the layout's saved settings (window size, ...)<br>
</dd>
<dt><b>Default</b> :</dt><dd>Default options used when the layout has no saved state, contains a space-separated list of keys and values, by pair,<br><code>widget_or_container_name widget_or_container_variable_options</code><br>
There is a special key : Window, for the window properties : pos, size (format is numberxnumber for pos and size), sticky, ontop, below, fullscreen (0 or 1 for these)<br>
example :<br>
<code>Default = Window size=1120x820,sticky=0 HPbig 780 FPane0 page=artist</code>
</dd>
<dt><b>KeyBindings</b> :</dt><dd>Pairs of keys and action, example :<br>
<code>KeyBindings = Insert OpenSearch c-q EnqueueSelected c-Insert OpenCustom(a layout id)</code><br>
key names are as shown in the key binding tab in the settings dialog
action names can be found by running gmusicbrowser with command-line option -listcmd</dd>
<dt><b>DefaultFocus</b> :</dt><dd>name of a widget in the layout<br>
set which widget gets the initial focus in the window, will probably only work with very simple widgets and with SongList, SongTree and SimpleSearch for now (let me now if you'd like more)</dd>
<dt><b>ExtraWidgets</b> : Allows the addition of extra widgets to the layout (by options or plugin), for each widget types (only button exist now, I expect to add tab or menuitem in the future) a container can be specified where widgets of this type will be added.<br>syntax : <code>ExraWidgets = button container(option1=value1,option2=value)</code><br>the option pack contains packing options as defined above for the container (for example '_' for expand in HBoxes). When the container is a HBox/VBox, the option pos=number can be used to specify at which position the widgets will be inserted. If the added widget s a button, the option relief can be used to specify the button's relief (none, half or normal)</dt><dd></dd>
</dl>
<br><br>
A layout can be derived from a previously defined layout by adding " based on " followed the name of the reference layout :<br>
<code>[layout id] based on another layout id</code><br>
In this case the layout starts with all the key definitions of the other layout<br>
each key can be re-defined or deleted (if nothing follow the '=')<br>
<br>
<br>
<h3>Widgets list</h3>
Most widget options are optional, '' means any other value => default behaviour<br>
All widgets options are use this format : <code>key1=val1,key2=val2,...</code>, some still accept the old format <code>val1,val2,...</code> for backward compatibility<br>
The widgets are listed with this format :<br>
<table><tr><td>WidgetName</td> <td>Widget Description</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><table>
<tr><td>optionkey1</td> <td>option description and/or possible values</td></tr>
<tr><td>optionkey2</td> <td>...</td></tr>
</table></td></tr></table>

</table>
<h5>Options common to the label widgets</h5>
The label widgets include : Album, Artist, Comment, Date, Length, LabelTime, Pos, Title, Title_by and Label<br>
<ul>
<li>'font' : can e used to change the font, the value is passed to the function <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/pango-Fonts.html#pango-font-description-from-string">pango_font_description_from_string</a>.</li>
<li>'minsize' : if set (it is set by default for Album, Artist, Comment, Title, Title_by), the label will request a minimum width (it can have more if packed with the expand option in a container), if the width is not enough to display the text, the text will scroll on mouseover. The value of the minsize option is the width it will request : the unit is in pixels if followed by a 'p' or in the width of the 'X' character if it is only a number</li>
<li>'markup' : can be used to re-define the text displayed, you can use <a href="#songvar">%-letters</a> (like %t, %a, ...) for current-song dependent text, and <a href=http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html">pango markup</a> (like <b>...</b>)for formatting.</li>
<li>'xalign' : horizontal alignement as a value between 0 (left) and 1 (right), .5 being center</li>
<li>'yalign' : vertical alignement as a value between 0 (up) and 1 (bottom), .5 being center</li>
</ul>
<h4>player buttons widgets</h4>
<table>
<tr><td>Next</td> <td>Next button</td></tr>
<tr><td>Play</td> <td>Play/Pause button</td></tr>
<tr><td>Prev</td> <td>Previous button</td></tr>
<tr><td>Stop</td> <td>Stop button</td></tr>
<tr><td>Quit</td> <td>Quit button</td></tr>
<tr><td>BContext</td> <td>Button to open context window</td></tr>
<tr><td>Playlist</td> <td>Button to open Browser window</td></tr>
<tr><td>Pref</td> <td>Button to open Settings window</td></tr>
<tr><td>ChooseAlbum</td><td>Open a window to select an album</td></tr>
<tr><td>OpenQueue</td> <td>Open a queue window</td></tr>
<tr><td>Fullscreen</td> <td>Button to switch to/from fullscreen mode</td></tr>
<tr><td>ChooseRandAlbum</td><td>Button to select an album at random, option "action" can be playlist, addplay, insertplay, queue or replacequeue</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
The BContext, Playlist and OpenQueue buttons accept the option 'toggle', if true (=1) the button will close the opened window if it is already opened<br>
All buttons can be changed to an indicator(no button border, smaller) with the option button=0<br>
Relief can be changed for buttons by using the option relief=none (default), half or normal.<br>
Size of buttons and indicators can be set by setting the option 'size' to menu, small-toolbar, large-toolbar, button, dialog, dnd (the actual size depends on gtk settings)<br>
<h4>player indicators widgets</h4>
<table>
<tr><td>Filter</td> <td>Playing filter indicator</td></tr>
<tr><td>Queue</td> <td>Queue indicator</td></tr>
<tr><td>Sort</td> <td>Sort mode indicator</td></tr>
<tr><td>Vol</td> <td>Volume indicator</td></tr>
<tr><td>VolSlider</td> <td>Volume slider</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><table>
<tr><td>hide</td> <td>hide the value if true (=1)</td></tr>
<tr><td>horizontal</td> <td>vertical slider if true (=1)</td></tr>
</table></td></tr>
</table>
All indicators can be changed to buttons with the option button=1.<br>
Size can be changed same as buttons, see above.<br>
<br>
A lot of widgets, in particular labels, indicators and buttons can use the option click1 (or click2 ...) to (re)define the action executed when the widget is clicked with mouse button 1 (or 2 ...). Example : <code>click2=OpenSongProp</code>, buttons widget also accept the option activate to (re)define the action executed when the button is activated with a mouse click or keyboard<br>
Also, a lot of widgets, in particular labels, indicators and buttons, can use the option tip, to define a tooltip for the widget. The tip can contains <a href="#songvar">%-letters</a> to display informations on the current song.<br>
Another common option is cursor, to to change the mouse cursor when it hovers over it (eg : cursor=hand2). See <a href="http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/Gdk/Cursor.html#enum_Gtk2_Gdk_Cursor">this page</a> for a list of cursor names.<br><br>
A lot of widgets can also use the hover_layout=ALayoutName option, it causes a window using the ALayoutName layout to popup when the mouse hover on the widget (for more than 1000ms, or the value set by the hover_delay option, use 1000ms if set to 0). The popped-up window disappear when the mouse exit the window.<br>(This feature is still a bit experimental)<br>
Simple example of the hover_layout option to popup a big cover when the mouse hover on a Cover widget,
by defining the Cover widget with this option : <code>Cover(hover_layout=CoverPopup)</code><br>
where CoverPopup is the the layout :
<p class=code>
<code>
[CoverPopup]<br>
VBmain= Cover(minsize=800,maxsize=800,click1=CloseWindow)<br>
</code></p>
To make the layout popup when the Cover widget is clicked rather than hovered, use this option : <code>Cover(click1=PopupCustom(CoverPopup))</code>
<br>

<h4>Songlist widgets</h4>
When there is more than one SongList/TabbedLists/QueueList in a layout, they must each but one be assigned a group number though the group option. The one without a group number will be the default with which other widgets interact with<br>
All the other widgets which interact with a SongList/TabbedLists/QueueList accept the option 'group' to specify which one they interact with, it is only needed when the layout contain more than one SongList/TabbedLists/QueueList.<br>
