## Description

## Details

### struct EShellSwitcher

    struct EShellSwitcher;

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

### e_shell_switcher_new ()

    GtkWidget *	        e_shell_switcher_new                (void);

Creates a new EShellSwitcher instance.

Returns : | a new EShellSwitcher instance

### e_shell_switcher_add_action ()

    void                e_shell_switcher_add_action         (EShellSwitcher *switcher,
                                                             GtkAction *switch_action,
                                                             GtkAction *new_window_action);

Adds a button to `switcher` that proxies for `switcher_action`. Switcher buttons appear in the order they were added. A middle click opens a new window of this type.

EShellWindow adds switcher actions in the order given by the `sort_order` field in EShellBackendClass.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher
`switch_action` : | a GtkAction
`new_window_action` : | a GtkAction

### e_shell_switcher_get_style ()

    GtkToolbarStyle     e_shell_switcher_get_style          (EShellSwitcher *switcher);

Returns whether `switcher` has text, icons or both.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher
Returns : | the current style of `shell`

### e_shell_switcher_set_style ()

    void                e_shell_switcher_set_style          (EShellSwitcher *switcher,
                                                             GtkToolbarStyle style);

Alters the view of `switcher` to display either icons only, text only, or both.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher
`style` : | the new style for `switcher`

### e_shell_switcher_unset_style ()

    void                e_shell_switcher_unset_style        (EShellSwitcher *switcher);

Unsets a switcher style set with `e_shell_switcher_set_style()`, so that user preferences will be used to determine the switcher style.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher

### e_shell_switcher_get_visible ()

    gboolean            e_shell_switcher_get_visible        (EShellSwitcher *switcher);

Returns `TRUE` if the switcher buttons are visible.

Note that switcher button visibility is different than `switcher`'s GTK_VISIBLE flag, since EShellSwitcher is actually a container widget for EShellSidebar.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher
Returns : | `TRUE` if the switcher buttons are visible

### e_shell_switcher_set_visible ()

    void                e_shell_switcher_set_visible        (EShellSwitcher *switcher,
                                                             gboolean visible);

Sets the switcher button visiblity to `visible`.

Note that switcher button visibility is different than `switcher`'s GTK_VISIBLE flag, since EShellSwitcher is actually a container widget for EShellSidebar.

`switcher` : | an EShellSwitcher
`visible` : | whether the switcher buttons should be visible

      "toolbar-style"            GtkToolbarStyle       : Read / Write / Construct
