Appearance

Interface: StatusItem ​

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:525

A widget in the status bar (the strip along the bottom of the window).

Remarks ​

The status bar container sets font-size and color on itself, so components rendered inside it inherit the correct values automatically — do not override font-size or font-family in status item CSS unless you have a deliberate reason to deviate. You may override color using design tokens (e.g. --silo-color-text-lo for a label / --silo-color-text for a value) to create visual distinctions within an item.

Properties ​

id ​

ts
id: string;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:527

Unique id for this status item.

alignment ​

ts
alignment: "left" | "right";

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:529

Which end of the status bar this item sits at.

priority? ​

ts
optional priority?: number;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:543

Sort order within its alignment group. Defaults to 0.

The sort direction mirrors the alignment so that negative values always anchor an item toward the nearest edge:

  • Left items sort ascending — lower priority = closer to the left edge.
  • Right items sort descending — lower priority = closer to the right edge.

Convention: built-in (core) items use negative values so they are anchored to their respective edges. Extensions should use 0 or greater, which places them between the two built-in zones by default. An extension may still choose a negative value intentionally to interleave with built-ins.

tooltip? ​

ts
optional tooltip?: string;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:551

Tooltip shown on hover over the entire status item. The host renders a custom-styled popup (not the browser's native title tooltip). For items that need per-button or reactive tooltips, omit this and manage tooltips inside the component instead (core extensions use <Tooltip> from the internal barrel; external extensions may use the native title attribute).

component ​

ts
component: ComponentType;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/types.ts:553

The React component (renders its own content; no props).
