I think that can be moved to GtkTreeView and shouldn't have a issue. Patches are welcome :). It is not that, it doesn't understand markup. The '_' is there to provide key accelerator in visible UI items, and it isn't stripped of at those places. I don't think that '_' makes any sense in the table/row. > I know evolution has its own ETable widget > and that it does thing that evolution needs and gtk+ doesn't provide but > why use this widget here ? It is that, we have moved to GtkTreeView to in lots of places and we have list of places where we want to move and don't want to move. Message list is a place where we don't want to move. > > The second thing is the "Edit" button. It is not the same as everywhere > I looked in the preferences window, this is bad.

If you have seen this 2.10, may be with a right theme. Im sure that this should be fixable in widgets/table. I don't think it would right to fix all the other themes for this. -Srini. > > Please advise. > > [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364385 > [2] http://www.go-evolution.org/User_Interface > _______________________________________________ > Evolution-hackers mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
