I experimented with implementing the palette as small buttons, but this resulted in another problem.
If the palette widget is resized, the item buttons simply stay put in a 4-column GtkTable, and do not use the extra space allocated to the palette. This does not look very pretty. Glade2's palette also acts this way. There are several ways of dealing with with problem * I can create a subclass of GtkContainer, that allows these item buttons to move around freely. An example can be seen in the GIMP palette, when you resize the palette. * We can leave the item buttons in a GtkTable, and ignore the resizing problem, but then there is no real improvement over Glade2's palette. * We can make the palette widget unresizable, but this might lead to problems in IDE's that try to integrate the widget. cheers Vincent _______________________________________________ Glade-devel maillist - Glade-devel@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/glade-devel
