Stack
A container that holds several widgets and rolls them up like an accordion.
What it does
A container that holds other widgets inside its frame and collapses them to their header rows, accordion-style: one expanded at a time, the rest rolled up to a single line each.
This is how you fit six widgets into the space of two. A stack of Email, Calendar and To Do lets you keep all three to hand and expand whichever one you’re actually reading.
Drag a widget onto the stack to add it; drag it out to return it to the desktop. Removing the stack itself does not destroy its contents; the children pop back out onto the desktop.
The stack paints no chrome of its own, so what you see is the children’s own frames rather than a box around a box.
Where the data comes from
Nothing. It is a layout container; each child widget fetches its own data exactly as it would on the desktop.
Limits
- Containers do not nest. While you are filling a stack, the widget picker hides container types.
- Accordion presentation only. For a tab strip, use Tabs, a separate widget, not a mode of this one.
- Children keep their own settings and headers; the stack does not restyle them.
