FYI, if you use evas_object_box, you can change hint_max and it will automatically shrink (if the layout looks at that!). You can use that to easily implement what you want. AFAIR vertical/horizonal will not even look at min/max hints if weight is not > 0.0, but we can either change that or just set weight = 1.0 for that item. >> > Another idea would be to have a list of categories.
