Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

Matt's reasoning is sound and explains the design decision well. That said, your argument appears to be based on something, the "conventions and standards" of IDE GUIs, that if it exists at all is a rapidly changing amorphous blob at best. I say this because I spend about half my day using

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

Leo uses tabs to switch workspaces (contexts). Each .leo file can define or redefine what menus, settings, plugins and so on are available within it's context. So tabs are the highest level of containment. IMO this is only partly true. There are always menus, menu items, and functions that

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

I found this part of the exchange useful and am glad it happened (paraphrased for clarity): *Why is the tab bar with the open files right below the title bar, but above the menu bar and the tool bar? * *This is different from other IDE's and text editors and is confusing.* Leo uses tabs to

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

Heh. I lived my entire life in one file for almost a decade. That file created and controlled over a thousand others in the file system, but only one Leo file. I like context as an organizing principle. I learned to stop thinking in a file centric way when it comes to Leo. Now I have five or

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

GammaRay is working again. Did you have any specific questions? Immediately below LeoTabbedTopLevel is QStackedWidget#qt_tabwidget_stackedwidget and QtTabBarWrapper. The only child of QtTabBarWrapper is a close button. The only child of QStackedWidget#qt_tabwidget_stackedwidget is

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

My system is haunted. GammaRay suddenly stopped working. I am currently rebuilding it to reinstall. GammaRay displays all of the attributes available for Qt widgets and shows which ones have been enabled for that widget. Was there anything specific you wanted to know? Once I get GammaRay up and

Re: Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

I am working on a logical template for themes. Part of this is working from the most general to the most specific for every visible widget. I should be able to style the top level widget and have that style flow down to all other widgets in the ui unless that style is overridden specifically

Hi, I share Terry's opinion on this. Even more considering how particular documents could load customizations to buttons and other GUI items. Cheers, Offray On 18/03/18 09:23, Terry Brown wrote: > On Sat, 17 Mar 2018 22:05:28 -0700 (PDT) > rengel wrote: > >> One
