Sorry if I didn't explain well enough. What I did was figure out the size of the Cocoa controls, including the extra width and height to accommodate the margins, and figure out which controls had fixed dimensions, then send those numbers so that Greg could use them as a base for updating how controls are laid out in GNUstep. We wanted to make the GNUstep controls work exactly like the Cocoa controls, making things like nib porting and theming easier. I don't believe any of this work has happened yet on Greg's end, due to work demands and bug fixing in Gorm, but if anyone has time to devote to this (ha!), I'm sure Greg would love the help. Having a finalized, Mac- compatible widget set for GNUstep would certainly make my life easier... ;) J. _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
