A discussion we had a while ago when the v2 client first appeared: Many laptops on the market today aren't able to do more than 1024x768, and that isn't about to change any time soon.
I *normally* play on my PC, but if I ever became unable to play on the laptop, I would be very disappointed. Generally, your layout reminds me of the v1 client, which makes me ask: if you're going to have 3 columns, why not put the map in the middle? Now, on the subject of layouts: I think it would be a neat idea if the v2 client used libglade, and allowed the user to choose a layout file in the preferences dialogue. Yeah, that would probably require a client restart to take effect, and for best results we should include thumbnail screenshots with the glade files and find a way to display them in preferences; but overall it shouldn't be too hard, and if people are serious about writing different layouts, it might be worth it. Of course, my preference would be for using a widget similar to the Gimp's dockable panes, so an user can change the layout at runtime. But I looked around and found no such widget in a library format. best, Lalo Martins -- So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. ----- personal: http://lalo.hystericalraisins.net/ technical: http://www.hystericalraisins.net/ GNU: never give up freedom http://www.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
