The adoption of Gtk’s new HeaderBar widget concept and style.

This is a major departure from the way window controls and window titles have appeared for years on any platform.

Whether we're talking about tiny 10" displays or giant 32" displays, I aim to make the best possible use of screen real estate. Combining the Titlebar and Toolbar into a single widget or bar saves precious vertical pixels that could be better used to show more important content.

Even though I'm saving vertical space, we're actually able to increase the amount of space around Tool items. And by moving window controls into the same line as Tool items, I decrease the chance for misclicks by placing them farther away from each other.

Traditionally, every window comes with a title calling out the name of the app that’s open. For some apps, I use this space to call out important information such as the name of the file that is currently open. However, for a lot of apps, this title doesn’t add value to what’s displayed on screen. When you open up a music player , you can tell that it’s the music player because of the layout of the controls and the content that is displayed. In this case, the title is simply visual noise that makes it more difficult to focus on other more important information (like the currently playing song).

Coming up, the newer "Header Bar" option

HEADER BAR


This style is a modern UI modification that has been catching on amongst my fellow developers and I was wondering if the GUI was possible using the Commandbars (and/or other controls) from our CodeJock Suite?

See how the close and maximize buttons, along with the caption, and essentially joined the together with the main toolbar and it's content? This allows more screen room as well as a simple, clean, and more efficient yet minimal interface option.

And no, it doesn't have to match exactly to this. in fact, it can be different so long as the concept remains the same. Caption bar functionality within the toolbar while the toolbar serves as the caption and top title bar simultaneously.

Alright, the picture below is of the normal titlebar

NORMAL TITLE BAR



Look familiar? I hope so. :p At any rate, see how the main toolbar is separate from the top window frame AKA the title bar?

Either I'm not understanding you correctly, or we have a miscommunication here.

Using a container, and then placing the Commandbar inside would only do one thing and that is define the title bar space. Sure, with some code I can easily manipulate the container to function as the titlebar, but clicking on the commandbar to have it function as the titlebar is what I'm trying to get at here. I'll try to post some better examples in my next post. :)

I'm trying to use the commandbar, a regular commandbar (not the ribbon), as the title bar of the window, and drag it around only with the command bar, since it would be functioning as the title bar.

And if I was able to make a sample project of this, I wouldn't really need to ask for help now would I? Hehe. :p 

lol

I assume you are using a parent container to house your header control.  If so you could put your CommandBar in a container and place that in the header container.  That way any clicks on the header can be captured and processed while those on the CommandBar are assumed to be for it.  

You will have to take care of moving and resizing the container control but the CommandBar will take care of itself once you've set it to resize to its parent.
