Re: [Synfig-devl] widgets on toolbars (actions)
It might have a much flexibile compare to hard coding ui in C++, with xml, the menus and toobars can be defined in extra xml file (we don't currently split xml content from .cpp files). And there is an other benefit from my point of view, each synfig studio panel has a toolbar by default, which are using xml to define toolitems, that means, if we use same for canvas window, the code can share a lot between panels. One important point regarding adopting Inkscape ege-adjustment widget. Synfig Studio's multiple document interface is so powerful right now, when user handles two canvases side by side, there is not enough horizontal space to show all tools, specially for onion skin or display quality like widgets, with ege-ajustment, all these can be well handled. You can play with Inkscape in a small window size and see how well it is. Any way, I will try myself to implement a prototype to demo this advantage. ~ yu 2014-06-25 17:46 GMT+08:00 Konstantin Dmitriev ksee.zelga...@gmail.com: 2014-06-25 16:25 GMT+07:00 Yu Chen jco...@gmail.com: 2014-06-11 1:00 GMT+08:00 Konstantin Dmitriev ksee.zelga...@gmail.com: AFAIK, gtk 2 (and 3) have a special widget to pack the toolbar buttons - https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/stable/classGtk_1_1Toolbar.html So it should be used instead of regular HBox widget.

Re: [Synfig-devl] widgets on toolbars (actions)
Hello, Yu! Apologies for the late reply. 2014-06-03 21:52 GMT+07:00 Yu Chen jco...@gmail.com: Hello, Configurations for a new month fulltime development :) According to Konstantin 's announcement, it will focus on UI improvement. We are using gtk action system for menu items and toolbar items on most of menus and toolbars, except canvas window toolbar. The toolbar of canvas window is not using actions due to gtk only provides two kinds of actions: buttons and toggle buttons. The current implementation of canvas window toolbar is not flexible enough when the canvas window has a smaller size in width, in other words, the toolbar can't be cropped. AFAIK, gtk 2 (and 3) have a special widget to pack the toolbar buttons - https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/stable/classGtk_1_1Toolbar.html So it should be used instead of regular HBox widget.
