[Fwd: Gnome source hacking]

[Vandoorselaere Yoann <yoann coldserver com>]

Hi,
this is a discution i have with a gnome developer
( about the better way to implement widget resizing in gnome ).
Please could say me what do you think of that, and if this is possible (
i'm not familiar with
low level gtk programming ... )

See you

        It is well known that M$ products don't call free() after a malloc().
        The Unix community wish them good luck for their future developments.

But why do you want an applet to support a size,

we must do that at a widget level, the applet itself shouldn't have to know

the size was changed...

So ok, we have, for exemple the Mini Commander applet...

( For exemple we say that there are 10 widgets in this applets ).

At startup GTK apply a size of 1/1 which is the original size of minicommander applet

( and other applet too ).

Now we say to gtk to give to all this applet widget a size of 0.5 / 1,

gtk just resize all the widgets...

And the applet doesn't even know about it's widget changing size...

What do you think of that ?
