Desktoxin

[viluon]

Desktoxin is a markup/style sheet language for Desktox GUI layouts.

Syntax

-- Lua-like comments

-- Desktoxins can be injected into each other 
inject "orange_button.dtxin"

-- Styles are essentially style sheet classes
style blueish {
  background_colour = light_blue;
}

-- 'for' says what is the basis of this style, i.e. what element
-- you actually get from the constructor
style blue_button for button {
  background_colour = blue;
  foreground_colour = white;
}

-- Anything that isn't a style is a part of the document itself

-- Names are used for reference in Lua code
blue_button "button1" {
  x = 5;
  y = 4;
  width = 12%;
  height = 3;
  text = "Foo";
}

-- blueish did not specify the parent element, therefore
-- it has to be used explicitly
button blueish "button2" {
  x = 0;
  y = 0;
  width = 1;
  height = 1;
}

list_view "my_list" {
  x = 50%;
  y = 0;
  width = 50%;
  height = 100%;
  -- Arrays are defined in [square brackets]
  children = [
    -- Any number of styles can be applied to
    -- an element. They will be used in the
    -- order they are listed in, the next one
    -- always overriding the previous one.
    -- Values that do not cause a clash
    -- will be kept
    blue_button blueish "button3" {
      x = 0;
      y = 0;
      width = 100%;
      height = 3;
    };
  ];
