Menu Names

For an up-to-date version of names see default-en.xml in your skins folder. A selection of the current menu names are:

<form name="languageselector-form-1" id="languageselector-form-1" method="get" action="/wiki/index.php" style="display:inline;"><input name="title" type="hidden" value="Skinning.menus" /><select name="setlang" id="languageselector-select-1" style=""><option value="en" selected="selected">English</option><option value="es">Español</option><option value="de">Deutsch</option><option value="fr">Français</option><option value="he">עברית</option><option value="it">Italiano</option><option value="nl">Nederlands</option><option value="pl">Polski</option><option value="ru">Русский</option><option value="pt">Português</option><option value="tw">Twi</option></select><input type="submit" value="set" id="languageselector-commit-1" style="" /></form><a name=".3Cmenus.3E" id=".3Cmenus.3E"></a>

<menus>

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: 

 <span class="re1"><?xml</span> <span class="re0">version</span>=<span class="st0">"1.0"</span> <span class="re0">encoding</span>=<span class="st0">"UTF-8"</span><span class="re2">?></span>

    <span class="re1"><separator</span><span class="re2">/></span>
    <span class="re1"><item</span> <span class="re0">id</span>=<span class="st0">"ID_TAB_CONNECT"</span> <span class="re0">text</span>=<span class="st0">"_Connect"</span><span class="re2">/></span>
    <span class="re1"><item</span> <span class="re0">id</span>=<span class="st0">"ID_NETWORK_SEARCH"</span> <span class="re0">text</span>=<span class="st0">"New _Search..."</span><span class="re2">/></span>
   <span class="re1"></menu<span class="re2">></span></span>
  <span class="re1"></menus<span class="re2">></span></span>
 <span class="re1"></skin<span class="re2">></span></span>

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).

<a name="Menu_Items" id="Menu_Items"></a>

Menu Items

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.


<a name="Separators" id="Separators"></a>

Separators

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.

<a name="Sub-Menus" id="Sub-Menus"></a>

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.

An example:
