Controls

"control" folder in ginstr app

Some widgets are formed from multiple elements and can have nested containers etc.

To provide easier styling for those controls, a special folder is used where XML files that define them are set. This folder is called “control”.

Complex widget definition files have defined XML file names which need to be set as described below.

Complex widgets definitions

If such a file is provided into the "control" folder, ginstr launcher will recognize it and use it instead of default internal XML file for this widget.

It’s important that all widget id’s are android:id="" and the widget types (GnEditText, GnEmail …) remain the same (or added if not present), otherwise the complex widgets won’t function properly.

Other elements including appearance attributes can be changed.
