# `HeaderBar`
A title bar widget.
<picture><source srcset="header-bar-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="header-bar.png" alt="header-bar"></picture>
`AdwHeaderBar` is similar to [class@Gtk.HeaderBar], but provides additional
features compared to it. Refer to `GtkHeaderBar` for details. It is typically
used as a top bar within [class@ToolbarView].
## Navigation View Integration
When placed inside an [class@NavigationPage], `AdwHeaderBar` will display the
page title instead of window title.
When used together with [class@NavigationView] or [class@NavigationSplitView],
it will also display a back button that can be used to go back to the previous
page. The button also has a context menu, allowing to pop multiple pages at
once, potentially across multiple navigation views. In rare scenarios, set
[property@HeaderBar:show-back-button] to `FALSE` to disable the back button
if it's unwanted (e.g. in an extra header bar on the same page).
## Split View Integration
When placed inside `AdwNavigationSplitView` or `AdwOverlaySplitView`,
`AdwHeaderBar` will automatically hide the title buttons other than at the
edges of the window.
## Centering Policy
[property@HeaderBar:centering-policy] allows to enforce strict centering of
the title widget. This can be useful for entries inside [class@Clamp].
## Title Buttons
Unlike `GtkHeaderBar`, `AdwHeaderBar` allows to toggle title button
visibility for each side individually, using the
[property@HeaderBar:show-start-title-buttons] and
[property@HeaderBar:show-end-title-buttons] properties.
## CSS nodes
```
headerbar
╰── windowhandle
╰── box
├── widget
│ ╰── box.start
│ ├── windowcontrols.start
│ ├── widget
│ │ ╰── [button.back]
│ ╰── [other children]
├── widget
│ ╰── [Title Widget]
╰── widget
╰── box.end
├── [other children]
╰── windowcontrols.end
```
`AdwHeaderBar`'s CSS node is called `headerbar`. It contains a `windowhandle`
subnode, which contains a `box` subnode, which contains three `widget`
subnodes at the start, center and end of the header bar. The start and end
subnotes contain a `box` subnode with the `.start` and `.end` style classes
respectively, and the center node contains a node that represents the title.
Each of the boxes contains a `windowcontrols` subnode, see
[class@Gtk.WindowControls] for details, as well as other children.
When [property@HeaderBar:show-back-button] is `TRUE`, the start box also
contains a node with the name `widget` that contains a node with the name
`button` and `.back` style class.
## Accessibility
`AdwHeaderBar` uses the `GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP` role.
## Properties
### `updateFunctions`
Additional update functions for type extensions.
### `appearFunctions`
Additional appear functions for type extensions.
### `decorationLayout`
The decoration layout for buttons.
If this property is not set, the
[property@Gtk.Settings:gtk-decoration-layout] setting is used.
The format of the string is button names, separated by commas. A colon
separates the buttons that should appear at the start from those at the
end. Recognized button names are minimize, maximize, close and icon (the
window icon).
For example, “icon:minimize,maximize,close” specifies an icon at the start,
and minimize, maximize and close buttons at the end.
### `showBackButton`
Whether the header bar can show the back button.
The back button will never be shown unless the header bar is placed inside an
[class@NavigationView]. Usually, there is no reason to set this to `FALSE`.
### `showEndTitleButtons`
Whether to show title buttons at the end of the header bar.
See [property@HeaderBar:show-start-title-buttons] for the other side.
Which buttons are actually shown and where is determined by the
[property@HeaderBar:decoration-layout] property, and by the state of the
window (e.g. a close button will not be shown if the window can't be
closed).
### `showStartTitleButtons`
Whether to show title buttons at the start of the header bar.
See [property@HeaderBar:show-end-title-buttons] for the other side.
Which buttons are actually shown and where is determined by the
[property@HeaderBar:decoration-layout] property, and by the state of the
window (e.g. a close button will not be shown if the window can't be
closed).
### `showTitle`
Whether the title widget should be shown.
### `titleWidget`
The title widget to display.
When set to `NULL`, the header bar will display the title of the window it
is contained in.
To use a different title, use [class@WindowTitle]:
```xml
<object class="AdwHeaderBar"><property name="title-widget"><object class="AdwWindowTitle"><property name="title" translatable="yes">Title</property></object></property></object>
```
### `start`
