Description [src]

final class Adw.HeaderBar : Gtk.Widget
  implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
  /* No available fields */
}

A title bar widget.

header-bar

AdwHeaderBar is similar to GtkHeaderBar, but provides additional features compared to it. Refer to GtkHeaderBar for details. It is typically used as a top bar within AdwToolbarView.

Dialog Integration

When placed inside an AdwDialog, AdwHeaderBar will display the dialog title intead of window title. It will also adjust the decoration layout to ensure it always has a close button and nothing else. Set AdwHeaderBar:show-start-title-buttons and AdwHeaderBar:show-end-title-buttons to FALSE to remove it if it’s unwanted.

When placed inside an AdwNavigationPage, AdwHeaderBar will display the page title instead of window title.

When used together with AdwNavigationView or AdwNavigationSplitView, it will also display a back button that can be used to go back to the previous page. The button also has a context menu, allowing to pop multiple pages at once, potentially across multiple navigation views.

Set AdwHeaderBar:show-back-button to FALSE to disable this behavior in rare scenarios where it’s unwanted.

Split View Integration

When placed inside AdwNavigationSplitView or AdwOverlaySplitView, AdwHeaderBar will automatically hide the title buttons other than at the edges of the window.

Centering Policy

AdwHeaderBar:centering-policy allows to enforce strict centering of the title widget. This can be useful for entries inside AdwClamp.

Title Buttons

Unlike GtkHeaderBar, AdwHeaderBar allows to toggle title button visibility for each side individually, using the AdwHeaderBar:show-start-title-buttons and AdwHeaderBar:show-end-title-buttons properties.

AdwHeaderBars CSS node is called headerbar. It contains a windowhandle subnode, which contains a box subnode, which contains three widget subnodes at the start, center and end of the header bar. The start and end subnotes contain a box subnode with the .start and .end style classes respectively, and the center node contains a node that represents the title.

Each of the boxes contains a windowcontrols subnode, see GtkWindowControls for details, as well as other children.

When AdwHeaderBar:show-back-button is TRUE, the start box also contains a node with the name widget that contains a node with the name button and .back style class.

Accessibility

AdwHeaderBar uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP role.
