custom quad-paned widget "GtkXPaned" coming along

["Mirco \"MacSlow\"" Müller <macslow bangang de>]

Greetings everybody!

	I'm not sure if this list is the right one to tell the gtk+ community
about this new widget, but here goes...

	Recently I was missing a 2x2 grid-layouted pan-able gtk+-widget often
seen in 3D-programs. So after not being able to find something like this
on the net I started writing one myself. I have a first working version,
but still need some help with certain issues. Mainly drawing the
handle-styles.

	You can get more details (screenhots, screen-capture video) at my blog
located here:

	http://macslow.mine.nu/?p=21

	Here is the handle-drawing part of gtk_xpaned_expose(). I'm not sure
what's missing or has to be done differently so that the
handle-ornaments show up in the middle of each handle. I hope this
excerpt of the source-code is enough. I do not want to paste whole file
into this email.

if (gtk_widget_is_focus (widget))
	state = GTK_STATE_SELECTED;
else if (xpaned->handle_prelit)
	state = GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT;
else
	state = GTK_WIDGET_STATE (widget);

gtk_paint_handle (widget->style,
		  widget->window,
		  state,
		  GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
		  &xpaned->handle_pos_east,
		  widget,
		  "xpaned",
		  xpaned->handle_pos_east.x,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_east.y,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_east.height,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_east.width,
		  GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

gtk_paint_handle (widget->style,
		  widget->window,
		  state,
		  GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
		  &xpaned->handle_pos_west,
		  widget,
		  "xpaned",
		  xpaned->handle_pos_west.x,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_west.y,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_west.height,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_west.width,
		  GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

gtk_paint_handle (widget->style,
		  widget->window,
		  state,
		  GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
		  &xpaned->handle_pos_north,
		  widget,
		  "xpaned",
		  xpaned->handle_pos_north.x,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_north.y,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_north.height,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_north.width,
		  GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

gtk_paint_handle (widget->style,
		  widget->window,
		  state,
		  GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
		  &xpaned->handle_pos_south,
		  widget,
		  "xpaned",
		  xpaned->handle_pos_south.x,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_south.y,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_south.height,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_south.width,
		  GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL);

gtk_paint_handle (widget->style,
		  widget->window,
		  state,
		  GTK_SHADOW_NONE,
		  &xpaned->handle_pos_middle,
		  widget,
		  "xpaned",
		  xpaned->handle_pos_middle.x,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_middle.y,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_middle.height,
		  xpaned->handle_pos_middle.width,
		  GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL);

	So does anybody have an idea what may be wrong with my way of painting
the handles?

Best regards...
