Hi List!
As discussed earlier on this list, there is a difference in the layout
of the standard dialog "bottom button row",
caused by different styleguide suggestions for GTK1 and 2 I think.
Two things on this topic, which should be solved:
a.) GTK 1 / 2 differences
Example, when having "OK" and "Cancel" buttons in a dialog:
In GTK1, the "OK" button will be left and the "Cancel" button will be right
In GTK2 the "OK" button will be *right* and the "Cancel" button will be
*left*
b.) various button layouts for the same buttons
While working on the stock icons, I realized that the layout of the
button row is a lot different for different dialogs.
E.g.: Sometimes a single "Close" button is in the middle of the dialog
(IMHO ok), but sometimes on the right.
Proposal to solve both:
Implement a new function which will get a list of (named?) buttons to
display, and returns a widget including this buttons.
This will solve:
a.) the GTK1 / 2 difference, as the layout can be switched at a central
point
b.) different layouts for the same button "pile", as the function can
decide how the buttons should be layouted
I have to think about a simple and effective parameter profile for this
new function.
This might not be a solution for really all dialogs (as some of the
statistics dialogs have *very* different buttons),
but should be a good step in the right direction.
Any comments on this?
