A Note On Styling in MCL …

@TW_Tones

Please publish that utility @TiddlyTweeter so I have identify svg component’s to alter.

I won’t now as it would need added docs to know what I’m doing in it. Perhaps later.

But, regarding MCL use, the main illustration of my post at A multi-column Layout / Storyview - #271 by TiddlyTweeter of SVG styling is that the MCL CSS approach is great.

Each Column can be styled differently …

Hi @TiddlyTweeter , The columns have the class .tc-river-<columnNumber> So the first column has the class .tc-river-1 , the second .tc-river-2 and so on Best wishes, Simon

And the Overall Matrix can be styled via …

Hi @TiddlyTweeter , you can address all columns with .tc-river-inner best wishes, Simon

@TW_Tones

Perhaps you could add your own version of the heading resizer;

I could and I think it’s something users would like to see. I also think, that everything I would add in that direction would be sort of opinionated so I don’t know if I wanna do that.

Right!

I think it likely better to just give info on how a maker using MCL can style the Top Toolbar Tiddler (i.e. tagged: $:/tags/TopToolbar)—but leave them to design their own specific solutions??

Just a comment

… English is not my native language …

Right! Though your English here is v. good.

When you get out of beta, and maybe need documentation checking or writing, please message me privately if it would help. I will.

Buongiorno, TT

TEST #10 – Basic Image Gallery … (Vertical Index)

The latest version of MultiColumn Layout — a non-linear personal web notebook (beta 41.0) has column shrinking and widening.

It makes things like image browsers easy … Here is an early proof-of-concept …

The top toolbar can be styled like anything else in tiddlywiki

• create a tiddler tagged $:/tags/TopToolbar
• add some content
• maybe surround the content with a div that has a given class
• style that class

Thank you for the offer, I will come back to it!

Oh … how do you know?
I’m Southtyrolean, so Speck is in my heart

Very cool example, thanks @TiddlyTweeter

Hi all tiddlywikians,

version 0.43.0 of the tiddlywiki-multi-columns plugin is out

it contains bug-fixes, some CSS updates and all my added CSS classes are rewritten to use my .btc- prefix

I hope you’re well,
Simon

• When I am keeping amount of columns in horizontal view as 1 and using Alt+S to get the horizontal view, always the first column is shown even if the 2nd or 3rd columns is the current active column.

@BurningTreeC

No - it’s not fixed. But I tried

Is this Alt+S bug fixable?

[BurningTreeC]

Hi @arunnbabu81 ,

it’s tricky to do and I don’t know if I can fix it. I’ll try my best.

Best wishes,
Simon

[BurningTreeC]

@arunnbabu81 - at the moment it’s impossible for me to fix because it’s standard browser behavior in this case

I’m trying to add a tm-scroll message to the active column when Alt-S is invoked but that works inconsistently.

I’ll add this problem to my list of open issues but it’ll probably be a won't-fix

[arunnbabu81]

How about adding a maximize button to the tiddler viewtoolbar like in mentat and Krystal and use keyboard shortcut to invoke it?

[BurningTreeC]

Thanks @arunnbabu81 , that’s an idea I could realize.

I’ll take a look how krystal and mentat implement it

[BurningTreeC]

Hi @arunnbabu81 ,
now there’s a full-screen-tiddler button and a shortcut (Alt-Shift-F)

[TiddlyTweeter]

@BurningTreeC

there’s a full-screen-tiddler button and a shortcut (Alt-Shift-F)

Very neat! (Tested in MCL beta v46.0)

One small issue on Firefox Windows (where I tested it) is when you try edit in full-screen it reverts to the column layout.

Just a comment, TT

@BurningTreeC

Ciao caro

I do guess it might be worth documenting the main classes available?

Why? Because advanced use of MCL gets oomph (punch) from CSS .

Just a thought, TT.

@BurningTreeC

Oh … how do you know?
I’m Southtyrolean, so Speck is in my heart

I know because in the past on the Google Group, I think, we discussed Speck?

The South Tyrol / Südtirol / Trentino-Alto Adige … is fascinating

.
And incredibly beautiful.

Is your first language German or Italian???

Just wondering.

Hi @TiddlyTweeter, that’s by design of the functionality. I have an idea how to make it work for the tiddler in view- AND edit-Mode though. I’ll have a look this evening.

@TiddlyTweeter

Yes that’s true, I will do so

@TiddlyTweeter

Is your first language German or Italian???

I’m german by default then come italian and english

Best wishes,

@BurningTreeC is there any way to access the page toolbar button easily rather than accessing them by opening the sidebar which is slow

Whitespace theme has a vertical toolbar which appears only on hover.
Tiddlyseq has a top toolbar

What would be ideal for multicolumn. Opening the sidebar for just clicking page toolbar button does affect the workflow

[BurningTreeC]

Hi @arunnbabu81

@arunnbabu81

is there any way to access the page toolbar button easily rather than accessing them by opening the sidebar which is slow

I’ve made the tag $:/tags/TopToolbar or $:/tags/BottomToolbar for those use cases. A user can build his own toolbar and just tag it $:/tags/TopToolbar and it should appear on top.

Alternatively, if you take a look at the configuration options, you will see, that there’s the option to show the hamburger buttons in a top panel and to also show the page-controls buttons and the sidebar search if you like
