Hello devs,

Hi Nick,

I'm really enjoying the Universal Binary version of pgAdmin much more
than the PPC version.  It's much snappier and the wxWidgets are more
responsive as well!

Glad you like it.

There are just a couple things that I think would help it fit in
better to OS-X World:

   - In Preferences, you can adjust the font, but it doesn't seem to
have any effect?  It would be great to adjust the font for the
treeview to make it smaller (my macbook screen is rather small
vertically)

Yes, it seems that wxWindow::SetFont() doesn’t work on wxMac. I’ll investigate further tomorrow and log a bug with them.

   - You can also adjust the Query font which works, but it's not
aliased.  I would love to use TextMate's default font, Monoco 12pt
Aliased.

How would you normally select this? WxWidgets seems to have an anti alias attribute for a wxFont, but the closest option I can see on the font selection dialogue is Shadow which isn’t really the same as anti-alising.

   - My biggest pet peeve: Command-W doesn't work to close windows

That’ll have to wait for 1.8 I’m afraid. I’ll be polling the lists to build a roadmap sometime after release – please make sure I remember to add it.

   - The Explain tooltips don't work right for me - the tooltip shows
up the first time I click an icon, then it never comes back.

Thanks – I’ve committed a fix for this.

Again, I really love pgAdmin and would like to use it on OS-X (for
the moment I'm running the win32 version in Parallels since it
provides a better experience).

Unfortunately we’re at the mercy of wxWidgets somewhat – wxMac has come on in leaps and bounds in recent versions, but it’s still not as mature as wxMSW or wxGTK.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards, Dave.
