hildon.Grid
Intended to be used where ever a number of single tap activatable items need to be presented (e.g. Control Panel applets).
Description
hildon.Grid is a set of application-defineable items that are presented in a table. The form of
this table is selected from two modes: large icon mode and small icon mode. In large icon mode, the Grid View
items are presented with a large icon and a label underneath it. In small icon mode, the items are presented
with a small icon and a label on the right side of the icon. The label of an item is displayed within a band
of colour displayed as a background colour as wide as the maximum text width. This allows the text to have
focus as well as be legible when displayed upon a black or dark background image. Long names are truncated
with an ellipsis ("...") appended.
