That all depends on the size of the window, and while the JNLP files may specify a size, the applet won't, and users launching from the desktop won't.
Keep in mind that DesktopApplicationContext remembers the value of your window's size and location when you close it and keeps it for the next time you launch it -- but only when you don't hard code the size and location in startup properties. I think most of the time, it's bad practice to hard code size and location of your app for this reason. In the case of our demo JNLP files, however, I think it's fine, because the users of the demos are likely to have never run the app before and may never run it again, so providing them with a good default makes sense. However, I don't think we should cater the L&F of any app to a particular window size, since in general, that size can and will change. That being said, I can certainly lower the split ratio of the content area / property inspector splitter in the component explorer, since it was arbitrary to begin with :) -T On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 7:02 AM, Sandro Martini <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, now in the jnlp I set a 1000x700 dimension, so also at 1024x768 > all is visible ... > > But if you have time, I'd make another little adjustment (but this > time in wtkx files), reducing the upper area (at the center) by > approx. 100 pixel, so the Properties area will be visible by default > without horizontal scrollbar. > And add approx 80 pixel the the bottom Events area, so it will be > visible by default without horizontal scrollbar. > > What do you think ? > > Sandro >
