Hi

I am playing around with a menu and a toolbar in a part. My first experiment looks like this:

index.php/fa/19122/0/

I see some issues here:
- the menu is rendered on top of the toolbar
- the toolbar background does not blend into the background of the part
- the toolbar buttons use too much space (they are not flat)

In E4-SWT the toolbar and the menu are placed in the space to the right of the tab handle. I like this, because it uses less space, than the current solution.

Is this a configration issue (i.e. missing addon)?

Greetings
Christoph

The javafx control does not allow us to place stuff in the header area
hence we have to create them inside the Parts area.

You can of course control the L&F of the Toolbar using CSS so you should
be able to adjust the buttons & toolbar using JavaFX CSS.

To find out the CSS-Constants you can look at DefPartRenderer in
addition to the CSS-Styling you can mark the toolbar as floating about
content and to span the full header area using tags

Thanks. The Tag 'Part-Toolbar-FullSpan' works quite well.

In case somebody stumbles over this thread. The css selector would look something like this:

.view-toolbar-container .button {
}

If somebody who is more skilled in css would be willing to share a nice styling for toolbar buttons, I would be most obliged Razz
