• This is a two panel window with an welcome message at the right and a list of clickable entries on the left.
• Click the sun icon at the top left. It should toggle theme between light and dark.
• Click the three horizontal lines button near it. A context menu opens and you click 'about Adwaita demo' which shows a transient window with the usual options.
• Navigation view
  • Click run the demo, a transient window opens with buttons, click one open page 3, with a sliding transition the page in that transient window is replaced by simply a "page 3" text in large font.
• Clamp
  • In-/decreasing the maximum width value correspondingly changes the width of the box containing that option.
• Lists
  • First entry (a.k.a. row) shows a row with title and, in fainter and smaller font, subtitle.
  • Second row shows a button inside that row.
  • Entry rows section shows rows in which text can be inserted. The password entry has a toggle to un-/shadow the text in it.
• View switcher
  • Click run the demo and verify that a pop up opens with a tabbed interface. Clicking a different tab changes the contents of the window.
• Carousel
  • Pages in the carrousel can be swiped with the mouse (like a touch screen gesture) or with button4/5 (a.k.a. scroll wheel)
• Buttons
  • Clicking a button triggers a color transition for a split second. Hovering a button causes it to change color. The color remains while the mouse pointer is over it and goes back to normal when the mouse pointer goes away.
• Toasts (no, it's not bread)
  • Simple toast: Click show and a small transient pop up shows at the bottom of the window. Clicking X dismisses it.
  • Toast with an action: This toast has a button to undo the action. It also has the trash bin that dismisses the toast.
  • Toast with a long title: As expected.
• Alert dialog
  • Presents a transient window with save (primary button) discard (secondary button) and cancel button. All different colors.
• Spinner
  • This shows a point/worm (the size of the thing changes) orbitating in a circumpherence.
