Layouts
No part of Candy Dialogue Creator's window is fixed in place. Which Panels are displayed and where, in one window or several, and how the form of each Command is arranged, are all part of the layout. Everything you arrange can be saved under a name, loaded back, and shared. There are two levels of layout:
LevelWhat it arranges
The window layoutThe Areas of each window, and the Panel in each Area.
The line layoutsInside a Dialogue Editor: the tabs, areas and widgets of each Command's form.
Both levels follow the same principle: an Area is split in two, each half can be split again, and each undivided Area displays one thing.
  • Edit Layout: splitting, resizing and closing the Areas of a window.
  • Windows: working with several windows.
  • Line Layouts: arranging the form of a Command.
  • Filters: toggles that show and hide parts of a form.
  • Saved Layouts: saving, loading and sharing layouts.
  • References: linking Panels and widgets that work together.
The current layout is stored in the profile as it changes: nothing has to be saved for it to persist. Window > Reset Layout restores the built-in layout.
