Disagree. I think you propose a possible answer - but although the platform should be striving to make it very easy to develop finger-friendly applications, I am *firmly* of the belief that it should not prevent or hinder those who see mobility of stylus-based apps as a tremendous benefit that the tablets provide. If the gtk or Qt frameworks forced things like minimum button size that (IMNSHO) would be making a huge blunder :) (And I'm betting the answer is something like a larger default setting for the equivalent of http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qapplication.html#globalStrut-prop - but I guess you use gtk) David -- "Don't worry, you'll be fine; I saw it work in a cartoon once..." _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
