Every user interface element which is controlled by a layout manager has a unique identifier called resource URL. A resource 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:

  • menubar A configurable user interface element representing a menu bar.
  • popupmenu A configurable user interface element representing a pop-up menu.
  • toolbar A configurable user interface element a tool bar.
  • statusbar A configurable user interface element representing a status bar.
  • floater A basic user interface element representing a floating window.
