Every user interface element which is controlled by a layout manager has a unique identifier called resource URL. A resourcce URL must meet the following syntax: "private:resource/$type/$name". It is only allowed to use ascii characters for type and name. Currently the following user interface element types are defined:

  • menubarA configurable user interface element representing a menu bar.
  • popupmenuA configurable user interface element representing a popup menu.
  • toolbarA configurable user interface element a tool bar.
  • statusbarA configurable user interfave element representing a status bar.
  • floaterA basic user interface element representing a floating window.
