After playing around with GM for quite awhile, I've decided it works best for smaller projects where only a few things get resized/changed.
I created a larger project (~50 controls) which some of the controls were cloned at runtime. GM worked fine in the IDE, but didn't work correctly in the runtime. I decided to write my own Layout Manager, which I'll be releasing sometime soon as a plugin.
Also, Layout Manager will create the correct profiles for Mac,Win,Linux which capture the control's resize behavior, rect and position, along with setting certain stack props as well. LM will do all this with a custom prop set: altLayout (not using regular profiles prop set).
Chipp,
If you haven't already, it's worth taking a look at how RealBasic handles layout (you can probably get a demo key to test it out) -- I only used RB for a short while before deciding to use RR instead, but my sense was that its GM was much simpler in concept and much more straightforward. When I first tried the GM in RR (which I have never actually used because I couldn't get it to work consistently) was that it was way too complicated, as though the developer never sat back and said "hmmm, I wonder if this is more complicated than I need?"
