Overview of Action Bar
Action Bars replace the title bar of a window and display different types of information:
  • the application icon,
  • the window title,
  • some menu options,
  • the drop-down menu of your window.
Creating and configuring an Action Bar
By default, windows are created with an Action Bar.
You can configure the bars used in the window:
  1. Display the window description window ("Description" option in the context menu).
  2. On the "Style" tab, specify the content of the top bar:
    Choosing the top bar
    • Full screen: no strikethrough,
    • StrikeOut only: Only the system bar is displayed..
    • System Bar + StrikeOut Bar: The system bar and StrikeOut Bar are displayed..
    • Action Bar only: Only the Action Bar is displayed.
Depending on the type of bar selected, the "Edit bar style" button allows you to set the style options used (color and font).
Remarks:

Bar style

The "Edit bar style" button allows you to define the style options of the selected bars:
  • System bar.
  • Action Bar.
  • Navigation Bar.
If you use the Action Bar, you can configure:
  • background color: this can be a specific or automatic color.
  • the font color.
  • whether the font color should be applied to the active icons.
  • the background image of the Action Bar.
  • if the bar should be displayed over the controls. If the "Bar overlay" option is checked, the origin of the controls is modified and the Opacity property can be used on the Action Bar control. The bar will be displayed over the controls.
If you use the navigation bar, you can configure the colors used for active and inactive elements.
