You can create a thumbnail component with the SectionChanger API.

This feature is supported in wearable applications only.

The following figure shows the layout of the thumbnail component in a rectangular and circular UI.

To implement the thumbnail component:

  1. Edit the HTML code to add the thumbnail component to your application screen:

    <div class="ui-page ui-page-active" id="sectionChangerPage" data-enable-page-scroll="false">
       <div id="sectionChanger" class="ui-content ui-section-changer">
          <div id="scroller">
             <section class="ui-section-active">
                <div class="thumbnail">1</div>
             </section>
             <section>
                <div class="thumbnail">2</div>
             </section>
             <section>
                <div class="thumbnail">3</div>
             </section>
          </div>
       </div>
    </div>
    
  2. Edit the CSS code to set the visual style of the thumbnail:

    section {
       padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
       height: 100%;
    }
    .thumbnail {
       height: 300px;
       width: 200px;
       background-color: #80482f;
       top: 50%;
       transform: translate3d(0, -50%, 0);
       position: relative;
       text-align: center;
       line-height: 300px;
    }
    .ui-section-active .thumbnail {
       background-color: #000000;
       border: 1px solid #a06322;
    }
    
    @media all and (-tizen-geometric-shape: circle) {
       section {
          padding: 0;
       }
       .thumbnail {
          height: 200px;
          width: 200px;
          border-radius: 50%;
          background-color: #802532;
          top: 50%;
          position: relative;
          text-align: center;
          line-height: 200px;
          transform: scale(0.8) translate3d(0, -60%, 0);
          transition: transform 300ms;
       }
       .ui-section-active .thumbnail {
          transform: scale(1) translate3d(0, -50%, 0);
       }
    }
    
  3. Edit the JavaScript code to manage the thumbnail events and other functionalities:

    (function() {
        var page = document.getElementById('sectionChangerPage'),
            sectionChanger = document.getElementById('sectionChanger');
    
        page.addEventListener('pagebeforeshow', function() {
            tau.widget.SectionChanger(sectionChanger, {
                orientation: 'horizontal',
                fillContent: false
            });
        });
    })();
