Detailed Description

An item that provides the features of AbstractApplicationWindow without the window itself.

This allows embedding into a larger application. Unless you need extra flexibility it is recommended to use ApplicationItem instead.

Example usage:

import org.kde.kirigami 2.4 as Kirigami
 
Kirigami.AbstractApplicationItem {
 [...]
    globalDrawer: Kirigami.GlobalDrawer {
        actions: [
           Kirigami.Action {
               text: "View"
               icon.name: "view-list-icons"
               Kirigami.Action {
                       text: "action 1"
               }
               Kirigami.Action {
                       text: "action 2"
               }
               Kirigami.Action {
                       text: "action 3"
               }
           },
           Kirigami.Action {
               text: "Sync"
               icon.name: "folder-sync"
           }
        ]
    }
 
    contextDrawer: Kirigami.ContextDrawer {
        id: contextDrawer
    }
 
    pageStack: Kirigami.PageRow {
        ...
    }
 [...]
}

• Layout.minimumHeight: default is 0, i.e. hidden
• Layout.preferredHeight: default is Kirigami.Units.gridUnit * 1.6
• Layout.maximumHeight: default is Kirigami.Units.gridUnit * 3

To achieve a titlebar that stays completely fixed, just set the 3 sizes as the same.
