Does anyone else think the rotate button is confusing? Kitkat's suggestion below would require rethinking the panel widget somewhat, but if enough people think it's a good idea i'll figure out how to do it. ----- Forwarded message from kitkat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 21:00:08 +0200 From: kitkat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: kitkat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: AW: [Pgui-devel] RFC: WindowManager zoom-function To: Micah Dowty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Micah, hi folks, > I still think the rotate button is necessary, so the user can > create layouts like: > > .------------. > | a | > |------------| > | b | c | > `------------' > You can provide this feature without use of a 'rotate-button' if windowsize could be changed by draging any side of the window not just the window-header. For your sample above: If you want to get the whole vertical size for window 'c' you could increase the window by dragging the windows top side until you reach the top of the whole screen. Now 'a' jumps to the left and shrinks in horizontal direction and you get the following arangement: .------------. | a | | |----- c | | b | | `------------' This works for any other window also so any window placement is provided. And you can rotate now in two directions. What do you think ? Maybe my explanation isn't clear enough ?
