[kivy-users] Kivymd menu left padding, height and font size change problem

[Mr. Mog]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to have a customized kivymd menu, with my own left padding, item height, and font size.

I tried this:

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivymd.app import MDApp

from kivymd.uix.menu import MDDropdownMenu

kv = '''

FloatLayout:

 MDRaisedButton:

  id: but

  text: "Menu"

  pos_hint: {"center_x":.5, "center_y":.8}

  on_release: app.menu.open()

  

'''

class MyApp(MDApp):

 def __init__(self, **kwargs):

  super().__init__(**kwargs)

  

  self.screen = Builder.load_string(kv)

  

  self.list = ["Copy", "Cut","Bold", "Highlight"]

  

  self.data = []

  

  for i in self.list:

   self.data.append(

   {"text": f"{i}",

   # this doesn't work

   "height": "20dp",

   "divider": None,

   "top_pad": "10dp",

   "bot_pad": "10dp",

   # this doesn't work

   "left_pad": "0dp",

   })

  

  

  self.menu = MDDropdownMenu(

  items=self.data,

  caller = self.screen.ids.but, 

  border_margin=0,

  width_mult=2,)

 def build(self):

  return self.screen

  

MyApp().run()

How do I change the menu item height, padding and font size?

Looking at the source code, you can change the padding and the height.   You cannot change the font_size.

I created a version starting with the example in the docs and can adjust the padding.

 

from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivymd.uix.menu import 

MDDropdownMenu

KV = '''
Screen:

    MDRaisedButton:
        id: button
        text: "PRESS ME"
        pos_hint: {"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5}
        on_release: app.menu.open()
'''


class Test(MDApp):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.screen = Builder.load_string(KV)
        menu_items = [{"text": i, "divider": None,"height": "60dp",
                       "top_pad": "10dp", "bot_pad": "10dp", "left_pad": "5dp", }
                      for i in ["Copy", "Cut", "Bold", "Highlight"]]

        self.menu = MDDropdownMenu(caller=self.screen.ids.button,
                                   items=menu_items, width_mult=4)
        self.menu.bind(on_release=self.menu_callback)

    def menu_callback(self, instance_menu, instance_menu_item):
        instance_menu.dismiss()

    def build(self):
        return self.screen


Test().run()

[Mr. Mog]

But I also expect it to work by doing that but it just can't work...

Is this a bug?

What can’t work.  As I change the padding values, I see a change.

[Mr. Mog]

I can see a little chance in padding but I want more 'cause I want the menu to have width_mult = 2...this plus small font size for items text and the item height.

This is a close code of how I want it to be:

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivymd.app import MDApp

from kivymd.uix.menu import MDDropdownMenu

KV = '''

Screen:

    MDRaisedButton:

        id: button

        text: "PRESS ME"

        pos_hint: {"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5}

        on_release: app.menu.open()

'''

class Test(MDApp):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

        super().__init__(**kwargs)

        self.screen = Builder.load_string(KV)

        menu_items = [{"text": i, "divider": None,

            "height": "60dp","top_pad": "10dp",

            "bot_pad": "10dp",

            # The left_pad, font_size, width_mult and item height should be as small as possible 'cause this a mobile

            "left_pad": "5dp",

            "font_size": "30", 

            "height": "50dp" }

            for i in ["Copy", "Cut", "Bold", "Highlight"]]

        self.menu = MDDropdownMenu(caller=self.screen.ids.button,

                                   items=menu_items, width_mult=2)

        self.menu.bind(on_release=self.menu_callback)

    def menu_callback(self, instance_menu, instance_menu_item):

        instance_menu.dismiss()

    def build(self):

        return self.screen

Test().run()
