Makepad Reference

This category provides reference materials for debugging, code quality, and advanced layout patterns.

You need quick-reference material for common Makepad errors, debugging, or API lookups.
The task is diagnostic or reference-oriented rather than writing a focused feature in one subsystem.
You want a central starting point before diving into more specialized Makepad skills.

Topic	File	Use When
API Documentation	Official docs index, quick API reference	Finding detailed API info
Troubleshooting	Common errors and fixes	Build fails, runtime errors
Code Quality	Makepad-aware refactoring	Simplifying code safely
Adaptive Layout	Desktop/mobile responsive	Cross-platform layouts

Error	Quick Fix
`no matching field: font`	Use `text_style: <THEME_FONT_*>{}`
Color parse error (ends in `e`)	Change last digit (e.g., `#14141e` → `#14141f`)
`set_text` missing argument	Add `cx` as first argument
UI not updating	Call `redraw(cx)` after changes
Widget not found	Check ID spelling, use `ids!()` for paths

# Run with line info for better error messages
MAKEPAD=lines cargo +nightly run

// Add logging
log!("Value: {:?}", my_value);
log!("State: {} / {}", self.counter, self.is_loading);

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.
