Schema Definition File for Individual Panels and Panel Objects

The schema definition file panel-per-panel-config.schemas contains sections that specify panels and panel contents for small, medium, and large screens. The section for small screens and the section for large screens are not functional at the time of publication of this guide. To learn about preference keys for panels or panel objects, read the section for medium screens only.

The medium section of the file panel-per-panel-config.schemas is structured as follows:

1. Preference keys that specify the general structure of panels, applets, and other panel objects in the desktop environment. The following keys specify the number of panels, applets, and other panel objects that appear in the desktop environment:

   • /apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general/panel_id_list

   • /apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general/applet_id_list

   • /apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general/object_id_list

   The keys also assign identifiers to each panel, applet, and panel object. For example, the following excerpt from panel-per-panel-config.schemas specifies that two panels appear in the desktop environment:

   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   general/panel_id_list</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>[00000001,00000002]</default>

   In panel-per-panel-config.schemas, the identifier 00000001 identifies the bottom edge panel, and the identifier 00000002 identifies the Menu Panel.

2. Preference keys that specify the properties of the panels. The panel property keys are structured as follows:

   /apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/panels/panel-number/panel-property-key
   

   For example, the key /apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/panels/00000001/screen_edge specifies the edge of the display on which the bottom edge panel resides.

   The keys that specify the properties of the bottom edge panel are listed first. The keys that specify the properties of the Menu Panel are listed at the end of the medium section in panel-per-panel-config.schemas.

3. Preference keys that list the panel objects, the panel object properties, and the panels in which the objects reside. For example, the following excerpt from panel-per-panel-config.schemas specifies object 00000001:

   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   objects/00000001/object_type</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>launcher-object</default>
   .
   .
   .
   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   objects/00000001/launcher_location</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>applications:///nautilus.desktop</default>
   .
   .
   .
   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   objects/00000001/panel_id</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>00000002</default>

   The object is a launcher that starts Nautilus file manager. The launcher resides in the Menu Panel.

4. Preference keys that list the applets, the applet preferences, and the panels in which the applets reside. For example, the following excerpt from panel-per-panel-config.schemas specifies applet 00000001:

   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   applets/00000001/object_type</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>bonobo-applet</default>
   .
   .
   .
   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   applets/00000001/panel_id</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>00000001</default>
   .
   .
   .
   <key>/schemas/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/
   applets/00000001/bonobo_iid</key>
   .
   .
   .
   <default>OAFIID:GNOME_TasklistApplet</default>

   The applet is the Window List applet. The applet resides in the bottom edge panel.
