Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: dooglus (dooglus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: text corrupted in about dialog Initial Comment: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/about-synfig.png shows how the 'about' window looks to me. I have GNOME's fonts set to use a dpi of 126, which it probably what's causing this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Paul Wise (pabs3) Date: 2007-03-23 14:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=35028 Originator: NO Also, when using a dark desktop theme with white font colours, the version and other information doesn't show up because the logo is white too. The current dialog is sexy, but it has many problems. We could convert it to a VERY unsexy Gtk::AboutDialog. The gimp about dialog seems to 1) resize the font to fit into the space available 2) use the appropriate font colour 3) allow the user to close it with a click in any part. The inkscape about dialog looks like a standard gtk about dialog, modified a bit. Same with scribus. The openoffice one separates the text from the logo. The Xara one is just a bit of text. The splash screen should also be given the GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN window type hint and the text in the about box should be selectable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dooglus (dooglus) Date: 2007-03-12 06:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1546005 Originator: YES It's hard to see how to close the 'about' window, too. It turns out there's a small barely visible 'x' in the top right corner, but something more visible would be useful. Also, clicking the 'about' icon multiple times seems to create multiple copies of the about window, so I have to close it multiple times, too. Only allowing a single instance of the about window would be better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1678554&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
