I don't actually want to change it at run time per-se (it's not going to be a preference in a UI), but I do want to be able to change the orientation based upon a style-property from the theme. Specifically this work relates to being able to offer style-properties to rearrange some GTK+ widgets (e.g. GtkDialog) for handheld-tablet environments using the GTK theme. In general though, GtkOrientable already exists. People are bound to use it. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
