Making New Style Toolbars
Introduction
They say "There's no Toolbar like an old Toolbar" and if your users are not running the very latest version of Sugar they're right. Activities will need to support the original style toolbars for some time to come. However, it is possible to make an Activity that supports both and that is what we'll do in this chapter.
The new style toolbars came about because of problems with the old toolbars. Activity users were having a hard time figuring out how to quit an Activity because the Close button is only on the Activity toolbar. If the Activity starts on a different toolbar, as many do, it is not obvious that you need to switch to the Activity toolbar to quit the Activity. Another issue brought up was that the Tabs for the toolbars took up screen real estate that could be better used elsewhere. Let's compare toolbars for similar Activities. First, the old style toolbar for Read Etexts:

Now compare it with the new style toolbar for the Read Activity:
![]()
This is thinner than the older version and the Close button is always visible. Some functions are on the main toolbar and others are attached to toolbars that drop down when you click on their icon. First, the new Activity drop down toolbar:

Next the Edit toolbar:

Finally, the View toolbar:

Adding New Style Toolbars to Read Etexts II
When working on the original Read Etexts Activity I borrowed a lot of user interface code from the original Read Activity and I see no reason to stop doing that now. One complication to doing this is that Read has some dependencies that prevent the latest version of Read from working with older versions of Sugar, and that being the case there is no need at all for Read to support both old and new toolbars. Read Etexts IV will not be so fortunate; it will need to figure out at runtime what kind of toolbar is supported and use that.
I am able to test the Activity with both old and new style toolbars on the same box because I'm running Fedora 11, which has an installed Sugar environment that supports the old toolbars, plus I have downloaded and run sugar-jhbuild, which supports the new toolbars in its version of Sugar.

Here is what it looks like running under sugar-jhbuild:

Let's have a look at how it works. ⁞ If you've paid attention to other chapters when I've talked about the idea of "degrading gracefully" the imports in this code will be about what you would expect:
_NEW_TOOLBAR_SUPPORT = True
try:
from sugar.graphics.toolbarbox import ToolbarBox
from sugar.graphics.toolbarbox import ToolbarButton
from sugar.activity.widgets import StopButton
from toolbar import ViewToolbar
from mybutton import MyActivityToolbarButton
except:
_NEW_TOOLBAR_SUPPORT = False
from toolbar import ReadToolbar, ViewToolbar
Here we try to import a bunch of stuff that only exists in versions of Sugar that support the new toolbars. If we succeed, then _NEW_TOOLBAR_SUPPORT will remain set to True. If any of the imports fail then the variable is set to False. Note that a couple of imports that should always succeed are placed after the three that might fail. If any of the first three fail I don't want these imports to be done.
This next bit of code in the __init__() method should not be surprising:
if _NEW_TOOLBAR_SUPPORT:
self.create_new_toolbar()
else:
self.create_old_toolbar()
I moved creating the toolbars into their own methods to make it easier to compare how the two different toolbars are created. The old toolbar code is unchanged. Here is the new toolbar code:
def create_new_toolbar(self):
toolbar_box = ToolbarBox()
activity_button = MyActivityToolbarButton(self)
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(activity_button, 0)
activity_button.show()
self.edit_toolbar = activity.EditToolbar()

self.edit_toolbar_copy_cb)
self.edit_toolbar.paste.props.visible = False
edit_toolbar_button = ToolbarButton(
page=self.edit_toolbar,
icon_name='toolbar-edit')
self.edit_toolbar.show()
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(edit_toolbar_button, -1)
edit_toolbar_button.show()
self.view_toolbar = ViewToolbar()
self.view_toolbar.connect('go-fullscreen',
self.view_toolbar_go_fullscreen_cb)
self.view_toolbar.zoom_in.connect('clicked',
self.zoom_in_cb)
self.view_toolbar.zoom_out.connect('clicked',
self.zoom_out_cb)
self.view_toolbar.show()
view_toolbar_button = ToolbarButton(
page=self.view_toolbar,
icon_name='toolbar-view')
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(
view_toolbar_button, -1)
view_toolbar_button.show()
self.back = ToolButton('go-previous')
self.back.set_tooltip(_('Back'))

self.forward.show()

self.num_page_entry = gtk.Entry()
self.num_page_entry.set_text('0')

label_attributes.insert(pango.AttrSize(
14000, 0, -1))
label_attributes.insert(pango.AttrForeground(
65535, 65535, 65535, 0, -1))
self.total_page_label.set_attributes(
label_attributes)
self.total_page_label.set_text(' / 0')
total_page_item.add(self.total_page_label)
self.total_page_label.show()
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(total_page_item, -1)
total_page_item.show()
separator = gtk.SeparatorToolItem()

separator.set_expand(True)
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(separator, -1)

stop_button = StopButton(self)
stop_button.props.accelerator = '<Ctrl><Shift>Q'

def __new_num_page_entry_insert_text_cb(self, entry,

if not re.match('[0-9]', text):

return True
return False
def __new_num_page_entry_activate_cb(self, entry):
global page
if entry.props.text:
new_page = int(entry.props.text) - 1
else:
new_page = 0
if new_page >= self.total_pages:
new_page = self.total_pages - 1
elif new_page < 0:
new_page = 0
self.current_page = new_page
self.set_current_page(new_page)
self.show_page(new_page)
entry.props.text = str(new_page + 1)
self.update_nav_buttons()
page = new_page
def update_nav_buttons(self):
current_page = self.current_page
self.back.props.sensitive = current_page > 0
self.forward.props.sensitive = \
current_page < self.total_pages - 1
self.num_page_entry.props.text = str(
current_page + 1)
self.total_page_label.props.label = \
' / ' + str(self.total_pages)
def set_total_pages(self, pages):
self.total_pages = pages
def set_current_page(self, page):
self.current_page = page
self.update_nav_buttons()
Much of the code in the two methods is the same. In particular, the View toolbar and the Edit toolbar are exactly the same in both. Instead of becoming the active toolbar they drop down from the toolbar to become sub toolbars. If we had done the Read toolbar the same way we could have implemented both old and new toolbars with very little code. However, the Read toolbar contains controls that are important enough to the Activity that they should be available at all times, so we put them in the main toolbar instead. Because of this every place where the code refers to the Read toolbar has to have two ways it can be performed, like this:
if _NEW_TOOLBAR_SUPPORT:
self.set_total_pages(pagecount + 1)
self.set_current_page(page)
else:
self.read_toolbar.set_total_pages(
pagecount + 1)
self.read_toolbar.set_current_page(page)
There is one more point of interest when it comes to the main toolbar. When you have an old style toolbar you get the stop button as part of the Activity toolbar. With the new style toolbar you need to add it to the end of the main toolbar yourself:
separator = gtk.SeparatorToolItem()
separator.props.draw = False
separator.set_expand(True)
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(separator, -1)
separator.show()
stop_button = StopButton(self)
stop_button.props.accelerator = '<Ctrl><Shift>Q'
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(stop_button, -1)
stop_button.show()
Note that you must put a gtk.SeparatorToolItem with set_expand() equal to True before the StopButton. This will push the button all the way to the right of the toolbar, where it belongs.
That just leaves the Activity toolbar to discuss:
toolbar_box = ToolbarBox()
activity_button = MyActivityToolbarButton(self)
toolbar_box.toolbar.insert(activity_button, 0)
activity_button.show()
Normally you would use the class ActivityToolbarButton to create the default drop down Activity toolbar. The problem I have with that is if I do that there is no way to hide the Keep button or the Share control. This version of the Activity needs the Share control, but has no use at all for the Keep button.
There have been some spirited discussions about the Keep button on the mailing lists. New computer users don't know what it's for, and experienced computer users expect it to be like a Save Game button or a Save As... menu option in a regular application. It isn't quite like either one, and that can lead to confusion. For these reasons I've decided that no Activity of mine will leave the Keep button unhidden. To hide the button I copied a bit of the code for the original ActivityToolbarButton in a file named mybutton.py:
import gtk
import gconf
from sugar.graphics.toolbarbox import ToolbarButton
from sugar.activity.widgets import ActivityToolbar
from sugar.graphics.xocolor import XoColor
from sugar.graphics.icon import Icon
from sugar.bundle.activitybundle import ActivityBundle
def _create_activity_icon(metadata):
if metadata.get('icon-color', ''):
color = XoColor(metadata['icon-color'])
else:
client = gconf.client_get_default()
color = XoColor(client.get_string(
'/desktop/sugar/user/color'))
from sugar.activity.activity import get_bundle_path
bundle = ActivityBundle(get_bundle_path())
icon = Icon(file=bundle.get_icon(), xo_color=color)
return icon
class MyActivityToolbarButton(ToolbarButton):
def __init__(self, activity, **kwargs):
toolbar = ActivityToolbar(activity,
orientation_left=True)
toolbar.stop.hide()
toolbar.keep.hide()
ToolbarButton.__init__(self, page=toolbar,
**kwargs)
icon = _create_activity_icon(activity.metadata)
self.set_icon_widget(icon)
icon.show()
The line in bold is the one difference between mine and the original. If toolbar had been made an instance variable (self.toolbar) I could have used the original class.
