buttons

[tony pfeil]

is there a way to make buttons show up and down rather than side by side like:

button1

button2

button3

To my knowledge --button= is reserved to bottom of dialog but, you can put images in those buttons and keep the image size using --keep-icon-size. 

Here are some examples of vertical --field BTN (buttons)

<code> #!/bin/bash

KEY=$RANDOM

imageDir="/home/linux/Documents"

yad --plug="$KEY" --tabnum=1 --form --keep-icon-size  --field="!exit!test:BTN" "" \
--field="!/home/linux/Documents/clock.png!Eggs":BTN "bash -c update_apt" \
--field="!$imageDir/eggs.png!Scramble eggs":BTN "xdg-open 'http://yadlive.com'" \
--field="test:FBTN" ""  &

yad --plug="$KEY" --tabnum=2 --html --browser --uri="http://yadlive.com"  &

yad --paned --key="$KEY" --orient="horizontal" --keep-icon-size  --splitter=200 \
--tab="buttons" --tab="website" --center --width=800 --height=600</code>

You can also use desktop icons too. This is a --paned panel with clickable icons on left. Desktop icons can do everything  just like buttons.

Here I am executing code within a desktop icon. It uses gnome-terminal tab to allow opening and closing automatically of program execution. Took me a forever to get this coded correctly as I am not a programmer. I do not understand the code. I wish I did but, I have tried. I have so much I want to accomplish before I pass on. I'm old not too many years to go.

Using desktop icons (images)  both vertical or horizontal panes. Inside tab windows (as many ttab windows as you want) both paned and notepad offer  top, right, bottom or left.  And can still use --button on bottom in all.
