### Class

# AdwHeaderBar

#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.HeaderBar : Gtk.Widget {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A title bar widget.

`AdwHeaderBar` is similar to `GtkHeaderBar`, but provides additional features compared to it. Refer to `GtkHeaderBar` for details.

`AdwHeaderBar:centering-policy` allows to enforce strict centering of the title widget, this is useful for `AdwViewSwitcherTitle`.

`AdwHeaderBar:show-start-title-buttons` and `AdwHeaderBar:show-end-title-buttons` allow to easily create split header bar layouts using `AdwLeaflet`, as follows:

    <object class="AdwLeaflet" id="leaflet">
      <child>
        <object class="GtkBox">
          <property name="orientation">vertical</property>
          <object class="AdwHeaderBar">
            <binding name="show-end-title-buttons">
              <lookup name="folded">leaflet</lookup>
            </binding>
          </object>
          ...
        </object>
      </child>
      ...
      <child>
        <object class="GtkBox">
          <property name="orientation">vertical</property>
          <object class="AdwHeaderBar">
            <binding name="show-start-title-buttons">
              <lookup name="folded">leaflet</lookup>
            </binding>
          </object>
          ...
        </object>
      </child>
    </object>

## CSS nodes

                    ├── [other children]
                    ╰── windowcontrols.end

`AdwHeaderBar`‘s CSS node is called `headerbar`. It contains a `windowhandle` subnode, which contains a `box` subnode, which contains two `widget` subnodes at the start and end of the header bar, each of which contains a `box` subnode with the `.start` and `.end` style classes respectively, as well as a center node that represents the title.

Each of the boxes contains a `windowcontrols` subnode, see `GtkWindowControls` for details, as well as other children.
