[ Back to Shareaza Skinning ]

The <menus> element defines the menus used in the program. Shareaza contains many menus, and each of which is assigned a name to identify it. Skins can override the design for every menu, or just a few. To see what the menus currently look like, check out default-en.xml in your skins folder.

Here is an example from MyMenuSkin.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<skin xmlns="http://www.shareaza.com/schemas/Skin.xsd" version="1.0">

<manifest name="My Menu Skin" author="Me" type="Skin"/>

   <menus>  

      <menu name="CHomeWnd">

        <item id="ID_TAB_HOME" text="_Home"/>

        <item id="ID_TAB_LIBRARY" text="_Library"/>

        <item id="ID_TAB_NETWORK" text="_Network"/>

        <item id="ID_TAB_TRANSFERS" text="_Transfers"/>

        <separator/>

        <item id="ID_TAB_CONNECT" text="_Connect"/>

        <item id="ID_NETWORK_SEARCH" text="New _Search..."/>

      </menu>

   </menus>

</skin>

Each menu is contained within a <menu> element, which is named by a name attribute. A list of current menu names is included at the end of this section (there are many!).

Each menu contains one or more items, which can be either <item>'s, <separator>'s or sub-menus (<menu>'s).

選單項目
Menu items are created with an <item/> element, and are the most common element in menus. Each menu has the following attributes:

• id - The command ID of the menu item, which controls what it actually does.
• text - The text to display next to the icon for the menu item.

分隔
Separators are created with a <separator/> element, and are the second most common element found in menus. Separators have no additional attributes, as they simply produce a "gap" in the menu, often used to group sets of commands together.

Sub-Menus
Menus can be nested by creating sub-menus, or popup-menus within an existing menu. This allows a very logical grouping of commands which can simplify the overall experience. It's easy to create a sub-menu -- simply start a new <menu> element within an existing menu. The only difference is that you don't need to assign a name attribute -- assign a text attribute instead, which will be how the sub-menu is displayed.
