This interface is +used on Linux, BSD, and can be used on other platforms which have a port +of GTK. + +Windows and Scaffolding +----------------------- + +A "scaffolding" is a top-level main window, which contains a toolbar, +menu bar, and one or more tabs containing web pages. Each tab +corresponds to a gui\_window (and each frame if frames are present). + +All the UI designs for the main window are in netsurf.glade. +**wndBrowser** is a scaffolding. It contains a VBox containing a +MenuBar, Toolbar, Toolbar for search (normally hidden), and Notebook. + +The **tabContents** GtkTable (in tabContentsWindow) is used for each +tab. It contains a table with two rows and two columns, which contain +(line 1) a Layout, VScrollbar, (line 2) HPaned, and Statusbar (used for +resizing only). The HPaned contains the actual status bar (as a Label), +and a HScrollbar. + +Tab creation is implemented in gui\_create\_browser\_window() in +gtk/gtk\_window.c. The scrollbars are linked to the layout here. + +Frames are implemented as a ScrolledWindow containing a Layout, which is +then placed on the parent's Layout. This is also in +gui\_create\_browser\_window(). + +[[!inline raw=yes pages="Documentation"]] + |
