💖 Gtk2::Scrollbar

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Gtk2::Scrollbar, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world. It's the Perl wrapper for GtkScrollbar — yes, the thing you drag around to scroll through your timeline, but make it Perl. iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Scrollbar — it's literally just a wrapper for GtkScrollbar. that's the whole job. slay.

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

the family tree, and no we're not skipping a single branch, the whole lineage matters:

  Glib::Object
  +----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
       +----Gtk2::Object
            +----Gtk2::Widget
                 +----Gtk2::Range
                      +----Gtk2::Scrollbar

see how deep that goes? Gtk2::Scrollbar is the baby of the family, inheriting from Gtk2::Range, which comes from Gtk2::Widget, which comes from Gtk2::Object, which comes from Glib::InitiallyUnowned, which comes from Glib::Object. generational excellence fr fr 💅

🦋 INTERFACES 🦋

these are the vibes it carries with it, the little certifications:

  Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
  Gtk2::Buildable
  Gtk2::Orientable

so it's Buildable, it's Orientable, and it's got that AtkImplementorIface thing going on. well-rounded queen 👑

🎀 STYLE PROPERTIES 🎀

these are the knobs and dials you can twiddle, and every single one has the same permission list — readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb — so clock that: you can read them, they're private, and they come with static nicks and blurbs. no cap.

  • 'fixed-slider-length' (boolean : default false : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — do NOT change the slider size. just lock it to the minimum length and leave it be. it's giving "don't touch my hair" energy.
  • 'has-backward-stepper' (boolean : default true : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — show the standard backward arrow button. it's on by default, as it should be.
  • 'has-forward-stepper' (boolean : default true : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — show the standard forward arrow button. also on by default. balance. harmony. 🧚
  • 'has-secondary-backward-stepper' (boolean : default false : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — this one puts a second backward arrow button on the opposite end of the scrollbar. extra? yes. off by default? also yes.
  • 'has-secondary-forward-stepper' (boolean : default false : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — and this puts a second forward arrow button on the opposite end of the scrollbar. matching set energy ✨
  • 'min-slider-length' (integer : default 21 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the minimum length of the scrollbar slider. default is 21. that's the floor, bestie, don't go below it.
