GUI construction tips

["Fernando Apesteguía" <fernando apesteguia gmail com>]

Yes, I'm using Glade.... and I knew there was a better way to do this :)
Thanks a lot.

So i'll try to set padding for my labels.

One more thing: what about if my problem now is with vertical alignment? i.e.
my labels are so close to the top border of the window.

Thanks in advance!!

It's easy enough to add padding space when packing your label into the
box like so:
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), label, FALSE, FALSE, padding)

I get the impression however that you are using Glade.. I don't use
glade myself but it should be perfectly possible to specify the padding
space somewhere in the widget properties editor.

Hope this helps..
