## Desektop Widget - Launcher Bar
|
|
|
|
### Trivial Operations - Changing layouts
|
|
|
|
This demo has a nice little "minimize" feature. You click on a downarrow and the entire interface will "minimize" down into a single image.
|
|
|
|
Here is the code that does those minimize and restore operations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
elif event == sg.SYMBOL_DOWN_ARROWHEAD:
|
|
window['-BUTTON COL-'].update(visible=False)
|
|
window['-MINIMIZED COL-'].update(visible=True)
|
|
elif event == '-MINIMIZED IMAGE-':
|
|
window['-BUTTON COL-'].update(visible=True)
|
|
window['-MINIMIZED COL-'].update(visible=False)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're minimizing, then you want to hide the buttons and show the image. If you're restoring, then you're hiding the image and showing the panel of buttons.
|
|
|
|
A simple thing to describe means less code for you and less complexity too.
|
|
|
|
### The Button Bar
|
|
|
|
Add a floating bar that enables easy launching of all programs on your system. Or launch your Python program or anything you want because you're a Python programmer.
|
|
|
|
This is a copy of the Demo Program you'll find on the PySimpleGUI Repo:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/master/DemoPrograms/Demo_Desktop_Widget_Launcher_Bar.py
|
|
|
|
It's a simple "launcher" application that you can run, move anywhere you want, and it'll return there next time you run it.
|
|
|
|
Add your own buttons, images, etc, to launch your favorite programs, Python code, or call functions. Anything's possible when you write your own utilities

For this Trinket, I matched the background color and used the settings feature to set it. This is why you will see a JSON file with the Trinket.
