Hi Robert, fixed means an theme dependend height of one row. (i.e. in speyside 20px), in this height all one height high elements find their place (like buttons, input fields, one row of text...). Using px heights is at your own risk, but needed for some elements (like box, sheet and so on...)
Alternativly you can give a proportion of elements (thats what you do with the * notation). I.e. column="1*;2*" gives the first column 1/3 space and 2/3 for the second column. This works fine for rows, too. For grouping elements togehther to give them an slightliy different layout you can use the tc:panel element (this is interpreted as one element), which can have it's own layout for multiple elements inside the panel. You can take a look at tehe tobago-example-demo. On the layout page you can click on view source to see how this layout is generated. Regards Phil Robert D.
