overrides settings of "@jupyterlab/notebook-extension:tracker" to change the rendering layout

[jdeantoni]

Hi,

I try to configure the look and feel of the resulting embedded notebook. My (first) goal is to change the rendering layout to 'side-by-side'. Could you please explain me how to do that ? I tried several things (overrides.json, jupyter-lite.json in different folder, etc) but with no luck. I guess the closest thing I did is to add a jupyter-lite.json file in the root directory of my repo with the following content: `{

"jupyter-lite-schema-version": 0,
"jupyter-config-data": {
  "disabledExtensions": [
    "@jupyterlab/drawio-extension",
    "jupyterlab-kernel-spy",
    "jupyterlab-tour"
  ]
},
"settingsOverrides": {
     "@jupyterlab/notebook-extension:tracker": {
        "renderingLayout": "side-by-side"
     },
    "@jupyterlab/apputils-extension:palette": {"modal": false}
 }

}`

the file seems considered since the disabled extensions are actually disabled but the rendering layout is not changed :-/ the repo is here: https://github.com/jdeantoni/iiwjupylite and the resulting page here: https://jdeantoni.github.io/iiwjupylite/lab/index.html

any help would be appreciated thanks

@jdeantoni have you tried putting the following in the overrides.json file?

"@jupyterlab/notebook-extension:tracker": {
  "renderingLayout": "side-by-side"
},
"@jupyterlab/apputils-extension:palette": {"modal": false}

Thanks @jtpio for the input. I thought I was far, but thanks to you, I found the problem.

It works with the following overrides.json file at the root of the project: { "@jupyterlab/notebook-extension:tracker": { "renderingLayout": "side-by-side" }, "@jupyterlab/apputils-extension:palette": {"modal": false} }

note that enclosing brackets are mandatory ! thanks again
