Ultimately Monodevelop will be using either glade-3 or stetic..but it is a work in progress...

The reason I am not using glade yet is to get an understanding of how
they widgets are working. I eventually plan on using a form designer,
but most likely what gets put into monodevelop. I will however look
more into glade to see how that goes.
Again thaink you for your responses. I am sure they will help me out a lot.
Thanks

Hey Buddy,

I was curios is there anything that I can read on some theory on how
you should layout programs using gtk-sharp?
since I am new to software development I am not entirely sure how, or
what, to do on design of forms and such. I want them to look coherent
and nice without useing glade.
Is there something I can read on it or can some of you developers that
have been around the block give me some insight? Also some help with
general how to do layout stuff in Gtk-sharp would be great. I have
been playing with it, but sometimes I am disconnected from the
internet for hours so i can't check much documentation because I am
using windows. BTW I am working on converting to linux full time, but
it is moving slow.
GNOME developers generally layout their GUI according to the GNOME Human
Interface Guidelines.
You can find it at:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/ In this document you'll find dozens of good advices related to designing your GUI. Speaking of Glade, I think it's a really good idea using it. Constructing you GUI using pure Gtk# without Glade can be a serious pain. Since there are not high-level widgets that automatically comply to the GNOME HIG, using Glade is always a good idea in my opinion. -- Laci Blog: http://monda.hu/~laci/blog Home: http://mondalaci.objectis.netI'll second that with glade. I have a little application that I have to
code the layout on part of it because of the flexibility I need and the code
can get a little ugly. If you have a pretty static interface then you
should always use glade. What's nice about GTK is that you can do most of
the interface in Glade and in the parts you need the extra flexbility
required by hand coding you just leave that part blank and pack in your
custom stuff.
That might be confusing but it's pretty simple as I'm a pretty big noob
myself. To start my journey I started by looking at an application called
monotheka ( http://monotheka.mdk.org.pl/). It's a simple application and it
used sqlite so it was a good starting point for me. If you get the source
you'll see how the author set up his glade stuff. My application is still
too early to start showing it as an example : ) (plus I'm learning .net and
GTK# at the same time, so I don't feel confident enough on my coding
technique).
