As a rule, I'd tend to agree with that. Except for the fact that I have had occasion to need some gui tool that wasn't bright enough to detect that it was larger than the desktops display area, or perhaps simply not kind enough to offer a scroll bar that would allow the portion of itself that wasn't visible to be scrolled into view. There may be another way to deal with such things however... In another thread, concerning (move and resize) someone told me how to add keyboard move and resize to e16... And I think "you" confirmed that a similar method was available in E17's keybinding settings. IF as I hope, that, enables me to push the nonscrollable gui app's window up past the top, or left desktop boarder, then I'd be able to reach the otherwise inaccessible content... And the problem will never have existed... -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtw...@ttlc.net>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
