[sitemaps] Horizontal layout

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Hi,

I bound my monitor to openhab2. Physically there are 5 buttons on monitor. LEFT-RIGHT, UP-DOWN and OK. I would create a sitemap with these buttons. But it seems, I can put all buttons vertically only. Naturally would be to show buttons in interface in same manner like these placed physically on monitor.

      UP
LEFT  OK   RIGHT
     DOWN

Is there a possibility to define horizontal layout flow for a Frame?

Thanks

Georg

Hello everyone, this question is also relevant for me in 2025.

My use case:

Room Control Page with a Frame for each room. First row of each Room should contain the temperature reading of all the sensors in the room.

Below that are control inputs. I want this frame to be max three rows, since with 6 rooms, this page already becomes quite long to scroll through.

Unfortunately i currently have to resort to only showing the calculated median temp, i wish to show three temps in a single line.

I found this feature exists for Buttons in the form of the Buttongrid. But why not for Text? Or any other UI Element?

All other forms of UI are not relevant for me, since i have all of my config automated by Ansible. This gives me the most coherent way to organize everything. And the other UIs also don’t perform nearly as good in the App as Sitemaps do.
Sitemaps are the only UI in the App that “feels native”: no loading times, no random flickers, no misaligned texts, ootb voice command functionality, HomeScreen Widgets, etc..
