Guilherme, Excellent! I wasn't sure if the qx.ui.root.* was mainly used internally, but it appears it is. My application is (of course) already an extension of qx.application.Standalone so all I needed to do was realize I should be adding my main widget to this.getRoot().
The only missing part is how to tell my base widget (an extension of qx.ui.splitpane.Pane) to take up the entire viewport. Currently it is crushed into the top left of the available area unless I manually specify its size after instantiation. Because of the peculiarities of Chrome plugins, the popup box I have is rendered to the size of the contents I specify in my Qooxdoo HTML skeleton (which looks like this: <body><div style="height: 600px; width: 500px"></div></body>) and will not adjust afterwards but instead create scrollbars. I realize I can use qx.bom.Viewport.getWidth()/getHeight(), but I want to know if that is considered the proper way to set a root widget to that size or if there is a different preferred method. --Greg On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 11:42 AM, Guilherme Aiolfi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > qx.application.Standalone is what you are looking for, for the docs.
