Use an alignment and set the Left/Right Padding in a callback for "size-request" of the parent. > I'm new to GTK, but as far as I can tell, most GTK tutorials and > documentation don't really cover packing widgets when homogeneous, expand, > and fill are not all set to TRUE (if only I could just let GTK do it all for > me...). > > Suggestions? Open up glade, create a dummy project and play around with it. I got around a bunch of GTK's crummy documentation by doing this. You can also consider using glade and libglade in your app, instead of just as an exploration tool. -Jim _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
