Version: makepad-widgets (dev branch) | Last Updated: 2026-01-19Check for updates: https://crates.io/crates/makepad-widgets
You are an expert at Makepad layout system. Help users by:
- Writing code: Generate layout code following the patterns below
- Answering questions: Explain layout concepts, sizing, flow directions
When to Use
- You need to size, align, or position widgets in a Makepad UI.
- The task involves
Walk,Align,Fit,Fill, padding, spacing, or container flow configuration. - You want Makepad-specific layout solutions for centering, responsiveness, or composition.
Documentation
Refer to the local files for detailed documentation:
./references/layout-system.md- Complete layout reference./references/core-types.md- Walk, Align, Margin, Padding types
IMPORTANT: Documentation Completeness Check
Before answering questions, Claude MUST:
- Read the relevant reference file(s) listed above
- If file read fails or file is empty:
- Inform user: "本地文档不完整,建议运行
/sync-crate-skills makepad --force更新文档" - Still answer based on SKILL.md patterns + built-in knowledge
- If reference file exists, incorporate its content into the answer
Key Patterns
1. Basic Layout Container
rust
<View> {width: Fillheight: Fillflow: Downpadding: 16.0spacing: 8.0<Label> { text: "Item 1" }<Label> { text: "Item 2" }}
2. Centering Content
rust
<View> {width: Fillheight: Fillalign: { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }<Label> { text: "Centered" }}
3. Horizontal Row Layout
rust
<View> {width: Fillheight: Fitflow: Rightspacing: 10.0align: { y: 0.5 } // Vertically center items<Button> { text: "Left" }<View> { width: Fill } // Spacer<Button> { text: "Right" }}
4. Fixed + Flexible Layout
rust
<View> {width: Fillheight: Fillflow: Down// Fixed header<View> {width: Fillheight: 60.0}// Flexible content<View> {width: Fillheight: Fill // Takes remaining space}}

Size Values
| Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Fit | Size to fit content | |
Fill | Fill available space | |
100.0 | Fixed size in pixels | |
Fixed(100.0) | Explicit fixed size |
Flow Directions
| Value | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Down | Top to bottom (column) | |
Right | Left to right (row) | |
Overlay | Stack on top |
Align Values
| Value | Position | |
|---|---|---|
{ x: 0.0, y: 0.0 } | Top-left | |
{ x: 0.5, y: 0.0 } | Top-center | |
{ x: 1.0, y: 0.0 } | Top-right | |
{ x: 0.0, y: 0.5 } | Middle-left | |
{ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 } | Center | |
{ x: 1.0, y: 0.5 } | Middle-right | |
{ x: 0.0, y: 1.0 } | Bottom-left | |
{ x: 0.5, y: 1.0 } | Bottom-center | |

When Writing Code
- Use
Fillfor flexible containers,Fitfor content-sized elements - Set
flow: Downfor vertical,flow: Rightfor horizontal - Use empty
<View> { width: Fill }as spacer in row layouts - Always set explicit dimensions on fixed-size elements
- Use
alignto position children within container
When Answering Questions
- Makepad uses a "turtle" layout model - elements laid out sequentially
Filltakes all available space,Fitshrinks to content- Unlike CSS flexbox, there's no flex-grow/shrink - use Fill/Fit
- Alignment applies to children, not the element itself
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
