Before even starting to think of all the layout-related technical details, one should stop to think if one really wants interesting content to be underneath mouse-usable scrollbars (ie. unreachable) and why... Then again, for a panned content, scrollbars that are translucent or even on-screen only when panning make perfect sense. However, I suppose such discussions should be deferred to a point in time that GTK+ actually has some notion of panning. Which would be nice, btw. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
