Interfaces are organized in pages.
For page and popup types, some names are reserved and can't be used, not even as the initial part of a longer name. The reserved names are: menu, temp, music, cameras, timer, logout. While it is normal to have more link objects directed to the same page, it is an error to have more than one (page) object with the same name.

Interfaces are organized in pages. There are three types of pages: menu, page, popup.

Each page is identified by an id. The id "menu" is reserved for menu pages. If the project supports the orientation mode, pages (of page and menu types) can have two versions with the same id and an orientation that can be portrait or landscape. When opening a page with a specific id, the page with the corresponding id and current orientation will be chosen. If it's missing, the page with same id but different or missing orientation value will be chosen instead.

Pages (of page and menu types) can also have custom gestures defined with the gestures attribute.

Performing a gesture when a popup is open will

Parameters

  • page type: menu, page, or popup
  • orientation: if the project is orientation enabled, specifies the orientation (landscape or portrait)

...
(endofmenu)

E.g.

(menu)
...
(endofmenu)

(menu#portrait)
...
(endofmenu)

Page

A generic page, identified by a name. If the project is orientation-enabled, the orientation can be specified (if omitted, the default is landscape).

Parameters

  • page type: menu, page, or popup
  • id: identifies the page. It's used on link objects to link it
  • title: title shown at the top of the page, if the skin includes it
  • orientation: if the project is orientation enabled, specifies the orientation (landscape or portrait)
  • locations: locations assigned to this page
  • protected: can be null, pin or puk. Specifies if to access the page, a pin or pin and puk is requested
  • gestures: list of gestures that can be performed on the page (see gestures)

Popup

A popup page, identified by a name and a popup type: simple or modal. It can have a close button, if it's necessary or if specified by the closebutton attribute.

Simple Popup

A simple popup opens up next to the object that generated it (eg. a link or user object) and it's closed by the same object. If there's no space, the popup will be opened at the center of the page, with a close button to close it.

Modal Popup

A modal popup is an exclusive popup that will open in the center of the page, while the background is grayed out. To close it, click on the background or on the close button (if it's visible).

Parameters

  • page type: menu, page, or popup
  • id: identifies the page. It's used on link objects to link it
  • title: title shown at the top of the page, if the skin includes it
  • size: width and height of the popup
  • type: popup type: simple or modal. The default is simple

Syntax

(popup) defines the beginning of the page, (endofpopup) defines the end of the page. A size directive is used to define the popup's size.

(popup <id>; <title>)
(#size <width>x<height>)
...
(endofpopup)

E.g.

(popup mypopup; My Title; modal)
(#size 300x250)
...
